Question
Who do you think or understand what the talking fan wished to convey?
Advertisements
Solution
The talking fan seemed to be very noisily and continuously chattering. Perhaps, besides the poet the others could hear it too. Though the poet was curious, she never made an attempt to understand what the talking fan said.
Or perhaps before she could, the message was decoded by the person who attended to the needs of the fan by oiling its motor.

How to save the Environment at Home
There are plenty of small steps that people can take at home to help save the environment. While the eco-footprint of each step is small, thousands of people doing the same thing can make a difference.

You will kill costs and improve your health at the same time, so helping to save the environment isn't an entirely altruistic exercise after all!
