The wise, the clever and the fool!
The Fool
Once a king asked his minister, "My younger son, I observe, likes to remain alone and thoughtful. His conduct deeply worries me."
The shrewd minister replied, "What is there to worry about, my Lord? Common people like the crows move about in the crowds. But the wize ones, like the owls, prefer to be alone,"
A few days later, the same king approached his minister with advice on his second son. He told, "My elder son has fallen into the company of loafers. I am deeply worried about it."
"But why do you worry about it at all, my lord? A clever man knows how to mix with the riffraff and use them for his own benefit, just as the eagle knows how to make friends with the kingfishers and get the fish through them,"
"My dear minister," The king replied, "One of my sons is wise, the other is clever. You who understand them are the intelligent. it looks like i alone am the biggest fool on earth".
The wise and the clever roam among you. The introverts might be wiser than you think while the loafers might well be the clever ones. Don't be a fool, be intelligent and recognize them.
