Nice parable, but unnecessarily gory, she could have just bought a bouquet ipf 
beautiful flowers and done the same thing ! Or better still, something 
completely inanimate, like bits of paper torn off a sheet of paper.
   
  cheers and with flowers for all of you

A woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the 
whole community knew the story. 


The person it concerned was deeply hurt and offended. 


Later the woman responsible for spreading the rumor learned that it was 
completely untrue. 


She was very sorry and went to a wise old sage to find out what she could do to 
repair the damage.


" Go to the marketplace," he said, "and purchase a chicken, and have it killed. 
Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the 
road." 


Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.


The next day the wise man said, "Now go and collect all those feathers you 
dropped yesterday and bring them back to me." 


The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the 
feathers all away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in 
her hand.


" You see," said the old sage, "it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to 
get them back.


So it is with gossip. It doesn't take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, 
you can never completely undo the wrong."
