Some people, who were travelling on a certain matter, met a crow that had lost an eye. They turned their gaze towards it, and one of them advised them to turn back; that, in his opinion, was what the omen meant. But another, speaking up, said, "How could this bird foretell the future to us, when it did not even foresee, so as to avoid it, the loss of its own eye?"
Those who are blind to their own interests are ill qualified to advise their neighbour.Moral
