Caution & Consequence

குரங்கு கையில் பூமாலை

Kurangu kaiyil poomaalai

Meaning

A garland handed to a monkey is only ever torn apart - give something valuable to someone who can't appreciate it, and it will be wasted.

Story

A rare old book was gifted to someone who couldn't read. Within days it lay torn apart, turned into a plaything for children. Everyone understood then - that is exactly what happens when a treasure lands with someone who can't see its worth.

Reader's Note

Share your time and resources with those who will actually value them.
