A farmer
insulted his neighbor. Realizing his mistake, he went to the preacher to ask
for forgiveness. The preacher told him to take a bag of feathers and drop them in the center of
town. The farmer did as he was told. Then the preacher asked him to go and
collect the feathers and put them back in the bag. The farmer tried but
couldn't as the feathers had all blown away. When he returned with the empty
bag, the preacher said, "The same thing is true about your words. You
dropped them rather easily but you cannot retrieve them, so be very careful in
choosing your words."
