Good for nothing
There is a pile of wood by the side of the oven.
Today's cooking will be using them.
Chewing-sucking-licking-drinking,
It is easily conceivable to be fond of eating.
They are devoted souls in burning,
This is their best salvation in the world.
This is how they burn the entire day in the oven,
Their self-sacrifice cannot fail.
Next to it is a fallen log of a tree,
He is different, so why he is so proud.
He said jokingly, "You see,
I am unharmed yet”.
The housewife's eyes fell one day on it,
Suddenly her face became gloomy.
She said, Oh! wood, of no use,
Get away from my kitchen.
She threw it in the yard and kept it there,
Seeing that, the piles of wood, were surprised!
It becomes ants nest, even eaten by termites,
He was left alone, helpless.
If you are not big at work, big at words,
One day it will come, will fall in danger.
