Once, there was an argument between the tongue and the tooth
Tongue: I want to do you a favour in return for all the help you are doing me
Tooth: I am doing my duty and you are doing yours. What is there to thank for?
Tongue: Whenever something is put into the mouth, you bite, break it into pieces and send it to me only for tasting. In other words, you do all the hard work, but I enjoy the benefits.
Tooth: Ok, if you insist on doing me a favour, you may stop talking harsh words to others
Tongue: If I do not talk harshly to others, how does it help you?
Tooth: When you talk harshly to others, they do not say “I will break your tongue” but they only say “I will break your teeth” and sometimes, they do it also. Why should I suffer for your misdeeds?
