| Description: | Mr. Wisdom and Mr. Wise engaged in a heated argument about who is the wisest of the two. They decided to go and witness the dance of cattle egrets. When they got there the egrets collected their horses to keep for them. Mr. Wisdom was wise enough to put a mark on the egret who collected his horse. So when the dance was over and they asked the egrets to give them their horses to return to their land each one denied using the white colour as a reason. But Mr. Wisdom recognised the egret who collected his horse because of the colour marking. Mr Wise decided to be picked on Mr. Wisdom's horse but half way home Mr. Wisdom asked that they should return to the land of the egrets to collect the horse. So when they returned they told them to give them instruments to play for them so that they could dance and sing. Mr. Wisdom sang a song to say that their friend dances more than all of them but he doesn't know him. So the egret came to the centre and was dancing more than any other egret. They approached him about the horse and he couldn't deny. Since then Mr. Wise accepted that Mr. Wisdom is the wisest. | |
