Beating is a language too

Rigved is being fed by Banda right now. He started talking about something to do with parents beating up children so that they can improve. Naturally Banda told him that its not necessary to beat children to make them improve. Then he kept mentioning ´what about mad children who don´t behave till they are beaten?´ Then it turns out that he meant, beating is also a language just like speaking nicely to explain something. He got this thought because of a story we read some days ago.

There was a donkey on whose back the owner kept an idol. People on the streets started offering their obeisance´s to the idol but the donkey thought they were praying to him. So he started braying loudly and generally misbehaving. The owner had to beat him for that Thus, Rigved concluded that beating is also a language!
