When we
survey our lives and efforts we soon observe that almost the whole of
our actions and desires are bound up with the existence of other
human beings. We notice that whole nature resembles that of the
social animals. We eat food that others have produced, wear clothes
that others have made, live in houses that others have built. The
greater part of our knowledge and beliefs has been passed on to us by
other people though the medium of a language which others have
created. Without language and mental capacities, we would have been
poor indeed comparable to higher animals. We have, therefore, to
admit that we owe our principal knowledge over the least to the fact
of living in human society.

Zigzag created quite a flutter at Mr. Krishna’s residence. It was brought to the house expecting that it will talk in different languages. But it didn’t utter a word and looked dull and boring. When fruits and nuts were provided, it picked it up and placed them on the leaf of the fan and or the curtain. It flew around the house and rested on the curtain. Zigzag fell asleep and started to snore. Its sound of the snore was so high
that nobody in the house could tolerate the noise. Its snore was so unbearable that all the people in the house ran away and closed their doors. The neighbours too started complaining about the sound of the bird. Everyone in the house tried to wake him up but failed. Finally the maid switched on the fat and the fruits and nuts that the bird kept on the fan splashed all over the house.
