A wise old owl lived in an oak

A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

Now how many of you have told this one to your children in the hope they remain quiet? its meant to teach children they should be "Seen and not heard"

Bet you never new that ?
