Sleeping Cow

 Sleeping Cow:

 After getting married from Karachi, when we left Karachi and came to Punjab, except for our late mother-in-law, everyone in the house spoke Urdu as well as Punjabi with such fluency and precision that it was as if it was their mother tongue.  We also remembered the words

  A month after our marriage, news came from the village that the cow had died. After a few days, news came that the goat had also died. There was a new wedding.  He was ironing clothes in his room and our traveling companion was busy talking on the phone with his friend. When he said Allah Hafiz to his friend, we looked at him and said, "Listen! Listen!"

  "When do these animals that sleep get up?"

   They said, "What do you mean?

  We said, "A month after our marriage, the cow fell asleep, then after a few days the goat also fell asleep, that's why we are asking when these animals wake up again?"  We spoke in the same breath 

  Our companion gave a loud laugh and looked at us as if we were some kind of wonder.

    "Fools! We stared at them in response to this address

  When I stared at him, he realized that there was a fear of loss of peace by calling his wife a fool in a new marriage, so he took care and said, "Sleep means giving birth and this word is used for animals.  What do you understand by pressing a little? 

  Apart from your mother tongue, learning other languages ​​of your country or foreign languages ​​is a good practice in itself. The more languages ​​you master, the more the doors of development will open, just as we learn Urdu from the language of a foreigner to his native language.  A pleasant feeling and a belongingness is felt by listening to the lips and tone, the same feeling they will have by hearing their mother tongue from our mouth.
