Luqman , who was a wise person , served an officer when he was s young boy .
One day his master said : "Slaughter one of the sheep and roast the best part of its meat for me "
Luqman obeyed his order and roasted the tongue of the sheep for his master .
The next day , the master called Luqman and said " roast the worst part of a sheep today "
Luqman again roasted the tongue of a sheep for his master.
When the officer sat down to eat , he was startled to see the roasted tongue again . He felt curious and wanted to know the reason .
Luqman said :" if the tongue is truthful and honest, then it if the best part of the body . But when a tongue tells lies and utters dishonest words , then it is the worst part of the body ."
