Fools words get them into endless troubles African Folktale
The
chief of a village once asked, “Who are more in number in our village, the
women or the men?” Koa, the village jester answered without hesitation, “Men
are the minority, women the majority!”
Koas' wife turned to him puzzled and asked, “How do you know this?”
Koa
laughed and said, “The reason why there are more women in our village dear wife is that men
who listen to what women say are counted as women!”
As
soon as he spoke the words, Koa knew he would soon have one foot in this world
and one in the next for his wife answered, “It is your foolish tongue that will carry you to your grave husband!”
