	O Chataka! Please listen carefully to what I have to
say. Although there are a lot of clouds in the sky, not all of them
are alike. Some bring plenty of rain and bathe the earth, while others
only thunder in futility. Hence, do not beseech every cloud you see
(for water).

	One must be selective when asking for favours from
others. People make seem alike, but there are very few really willing
to help out.
