Four friends who were students of a particular missionary school agreed unanimously that they should not TALK FOR SEVEN GOOD DAYS. This was in line with a particular course called MEDITATION. In it, you don't talk much. You just have to think deeply abt whatever you are doing.

So the first day,they seemed to record a great success because they were all doing their things in one room WITHOUT TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER.

However, towards the evening,there was darkness coming. Some minutes to 7pm,the darkness was very strong or serious as the only lantern in the room was growing dimer and dimer because the kerosene was getting finished.

Then suddenly, one of them who could not endure the darkness told another close to the lantern, "Please, put some kerosene into the lantern!".The one spoken to replied angrily, "Ah,are we supposed to talk?" The third person looked at the second one and said, "You,you are stupid. Why did you talk?" Then the last one looked at all of them and said, "See, l am the only one that has not said anything".
