Avoid Bad Company
Two friends bought a parrot each. The first parrot was in the habit of
cursing and swearing. The second one recited verses from the Gita. The

parrots had learnt these habits from their former owners. The owner of
the first parrot was both annoyed and worried. Often the parrot used bad
words in the presence of his friends and this made him feel ashamed.
He sought the advice of his friend, the owner of the pious parrot. It was
decided to put the two parrots in the same cage so that the foul-mouthed
bird might learn some nice words. But after a few days, the friends were
shocked to find that even the pious parrot had started using bad words.

There is a saying that a person is known by the company he keeps.
