Solution
Thiruvalluvar was a great Tamil saint-poet, who lived more than two thousand years ago. 'Thirukkural' is his book of teachings. It is greatly loved and respected even today. Thiruvalluvar was a textile weaver, who wove beautiful fabrics and saris and sold them in the market. He never got angry. never used bad words, and never shouted at anyone. Even when an arrogant and rich young man reduced his fabric to rags just to make him angry, he did not lose his temper. He refused to take money from the rich man because he said the rags were now worthless. His softly spoken words to the rich young man opened the young man's eyes and made him give up his idleness and bad habits.
