Speak to him in his tongue.

A scientist told a farmer

About a pesticide’s use, saying

“Efficacy of it is indisputable

but its residue is incompatible”

The farmer took it to mean

that it is good to use and used it.

Alarmed, the scientist went to him

And warned him not to use it

And if he does, the consumers would suffer.

“Don’t use it. It saves the crop

but will kill the stomach of eaters”,

the scientist told him in plain words.

The farmer understood and threw it.

You be in his language to a layman.
