The <strong>Pittsburgh</strong> <strong>Patrika</strong>, Vol, 23, No. 4, <strong>July</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
Here again is a nonliterary translation since I don’t have the skills for<br />
translating the poem into verse form:<br />
A weaver bird, sitting in its cozy nest in rains, saw a monkey<br />
getting drenched, and said,<br />
“Why don't you build a place for yourself against the rain?”<br />
Irritated at the advice, the monkey got mad, went wild, and<br />
shredded the weaver bird’s nest to smithereens.<br />
Such is the fate of those giving unsolicited advice<br />
to the undeserved.<br />
Asmita Ranganathan provided the sketches. •<br />
