Excess Use of Excuses
"Tales of tales of giving reasons"
"A centipede under the bed,
Bring a stick to beat",
"All the sticks in feces"
"Go to river to wash",
"River remains full of fish",
"Bring a net to catch the fish",
"All the nets are torn"?
"Bring a needle to stitch the net",
"All the needles are broken",
"Go to a Gold Smith to repair the needle",
"The Gold Smith and Gold Smith,knocked down and died"!
(A folktale in circulation in Sri Lanka,generations after generations,in poetic order,in Tamil language)
