Long time ago, there lived a wanderer who loved talking very much. One day, he made a trip that forced him to pass through a deserted forest which was rarely crossed by pe
ople. As he was walking int the middle of the forest, suddenly he heard a voice. He was so scared and shocked, but at the same time curious as well. "Whose voice could it be in the middle of such an empty forest?" He whispered to himself. And then, carefully he went to search the source of the voice. Finally, he found that it came from a skeleton pilled up under a big tree. He was really shocked ever.
In disbelief, he encouraged himself to approach upfront and asked. "Hi skeleton... How could you end up in this middle of forest?" Beyond expectation, this skeleton answered, "Hi wanderer, the thing that brought me into this forest is a talkative mouth." Knowing that the skeleton could actually hear and answer, he became so amused and kept on chatting about all stuff. He felt that he had found a miracle.
When he finally finished his trip, he couldn't help but to keep on thinking about his 'findings'. With full spirit, he started to tell everyone that he met about his finding, the talking skeleton. And of course no one believed him. Some even mocked him, "You crazy man ! There is no such thing as a talking skeleton!" . Despite the fact that no one believed his story, he just couldn't stop himslef from talking about it and telling everyone that he met about the talking skeleton.

Finally, the story founds ts way to the palace. In short, the king summoned the 
wanderer to appear before him and tell him about it. The wanderer started telling the king about this 'talking skeleton' "Your highness, I found a talking skeleton. Perhaps your Highness would like yo inquire about the future of this kingdom to him." Being curious the king asked some of his ministers and guards to go to the forest together by the guidance of the wanderer.
Uppon arriving, with all confidence, the wanderer asked the skeleton, "Hi skeleton, how did you end up into this forest?" This time, no sound came out. The king and all the guards started to get agitated. When the wanderer kept on repeating the same question with louder voice, the skeleton kept silent. All that was heard was the wing blowing and the echo of the wanderer's voice.
Seeing this, the guards looked at the king with such mocking expression on their face. Feeling being fooled, the king went mad. He looked the wanderer and said, "Actually I don't believe a word you say. You really take me as a fool, thinking that I am such a stupid king. I come here just to reveal your lies. And as punishment for giving me such a big lie, you have to take the reponsibility and pay the price!"
The king immediately ordered his guard to chop off the wanderer's head. Afterwards, they put the wanderer's skeleton next to the original skeleton. As soon as the king left the place, suddenly the skeleton said, "Hi wanderer, how did you end up in this forest?" And the wanderer's head answered, "The thing that brought me into the forest is a talkative mouth."
Most often, fights, misunderstandings, and hostilities are created due to the unfit spoken words. Those who like to spread words, most often become less careful and so they cause lots of hurt or even spite and grudge. And though sometimes it seems light, it can be fatal. It will be such a good thing, if at all times we can control ourselves, knowing when and why we have to speak up. Actually, being silent can also be the wisest attitude, like the old saying,
