A boy was playing on the riverbank, when he slipped and fell int the water. He succeeded in grabbing hold of a log and began to shout for help.
A man happened by. He was kind of an who believes he has wisdom to share, and rather than helping the boy out of the water, he began to preach to him : 'You shouldn't play near water! You have watched where you were putting your feet.'
This went on for a while, and the boy heard many wise and useful words, but he would have preferred to be saved without the lectures!
Moral : We should act upon according to situation.
