Toads, Frogs, Flies and Cocks in Ancient China
The original text is:

Qin Zi asked: Is it beneficial to talk more?

Mozi said: Toads, frogs and flies are singing day and night. I'm thirsty, but I won't listen. Today, when you look at the chicken in the morning, it rings at night and the world shakes. What are the benefits of talking more? It is time.

Translated as follows:

Qin Zi asked the teacher, "Will you talk more?" Mozi replied, "Frogs croak day and night, which makes people thirsty, but no one listens." Look at that rooster. It crows at dawn on time. The world shakes and people get up early. What are the advantages of talking more? The important thing is to say it at the right time. "
