Who's Talking?

Once upon a time, there are 4 monks living in a temple near the mountains. There is one time where they are having a (Non Talking Meditation Training) so among these 4 monks there is this young monk whom in charge of lighting the oil lamp during the training.


After a few hours passed by the oil in the lamp is finishing,  and strong winds are blowing off the fire the young monk opened up his eyes and shouted : Oh NO! the fire is going off!!!!.


The other 3 monks immediately opened up their eyes and monk A scolded the young monk and says: Why are u shouting!!! we are doing a Non Talking Meditation!! how can u opened up ur mouth and shouted because of a small matter.... Monk B shouted at Monk A and says : You got no rights to scold the young monk as you opened up your mouth as well!!! 


Monk C was sitting there quietly all the time and He told the other 3 monks arrogantly: Hahahahaha!!! Im the only one that is keeping quiet!!!


During the time where the 3 older monks scolding others about talking or shouting, they did not know that each of them has broke the rules of NON TALKING.


P.S - As a human being we always pointed out and look at other people's mistakes but we can never see our own behavior and mistakes. We should always correct our self so that we wont tripped by the same stones all the time.
