Man named Mani fights with everyone. He asks Tenali Raman for help. He gives Mani "medicine" to sip and hold in his mouth; don't swallow till the other person is done talking, he says. Then swallow. A month later, Mani returns, wants more medicine: "It works!" Tenali Raman says it was just water. "If you want to avoid an argument, be silent."
Notes: I found this as a Tenali Raman story, but I changed it to be a Birbal story.
