A host invited his friends to his place. However, the chimney in his kitchen was straight and the host put the wood beside the fireplace.
When one of his friends saw that, he told the host, "You should rebuild your chimney. Besides it's dangerous to put the wood beside the fireplace." But the host didn't listen to him.
A few days later, the host's house got on fire and all his neighbor came to rescue. After they put out the fire, the host held a feast to thank for their help.
His neighbors were seated by how badly they were hurt. At this time, one of them said, "If you had ever listened to your friend, you wouldn't have to do this now. So, he is the one you really should thank to."
On hearing this, the host agreed and felt ashamed of himself.
