    In this neighborhood lived a little girl who was always talking. She had a lot to say about everything and everyone. Her words flowed endlessly like a bubbling brook.

    Her mother often tried to teach her the value of listening more and talking less. But the little girl was too chatty to heed her mother's advice.

    One day at school, during a test, the little girl couldn't resist the urge to talk. She started whispering to her friend, oblivious to the teacher's stern gaze.

    The teacher caught her talking and immediately told her she would not be allowed to finish the test. The little girl was stunned, her face paled as she realized her mistake.
