They wanted to warm up their bodies. All of a sudden,
they came across some Gunja fruits. Thinking them to
be fire particles, they collected them and began to blow

observing this fruitless effort, tried to convince the

killed the sparrow in the fury. Citing this example, the
maxim conveys that giving advice to the foolish is
dangerous and ultimately ends in death.

Once a man approached a weaver. He handed over

produced and not before that. This is a case of future
event which (futuristic action) is mentioned by the
