Pok Mat & his birds

Lesson : Always ask the right question

In a peaceful village outskirt of Janda Baik, Pahang, there is an old man by the name of Pok Mat whose hobby is rearing birds. One fine morning, Pok Mat realized that all his birds were stolen. Having a thought that the incindent is too much for him to keep to himself, he then organized a gathering for the entire villagers.

Pok Mat asked all the villages, "Does anyone here have birds?" The entire male villagers stood up.

Realizing his mistake in phrasing his question, he then asked "That is not what I mean. I want to ask, has anyone here seen birds?"..... The entire female villagers stood up.

With a red face, realizing that his question is still not as what he has in mind, he then asked "I am very sorry, that is not what I mean. Has anyone here ever seen birds which are not owned by oneself?"... Nearly half the female villagers stood up.

Pok Mat's face is now turning red and he began to panick."Apologize again... err... what I mean is... has anybody here ever seen my birds?"… Pok Mat's wife stood up, together with two other elderly ladies at the far corner of the crowd.... This time his wife's face turns chilli-red.

Pok Mat immediately disappears into the bushes!!!
