THE BEST AND WORST PART OF A SHEEP
Luqman the wise, in his student year, was studying with a pious teacher. One day the teacher asked Luqman to slaughter a sheep and roast the best part of the ship for him.
Luqman sacrificed a sheep and roasted the tongue of the sheep for his teacher.
The next day, the teacher called Luqman and said: "Now Roast the worst part of the sheep for me.”
Luqman again roasted the tongue of the sheep for his master.
The teacher sat down to eat, he was surprised to see the roasted tongue again. He asked Luqman why you roasted tongue in both times.
Luqman said: “If a tongue is truthful and honest, then it is the best part of the body, but when a tongue tells lies and utters dishonest words, then it is the worst part of the body.”
So watch the tongue. It is the only limb in the body that is wet and slippery all the time!
