"Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel, sent his servant to the market to buy some good food. The servant returned with tongue. Then he sent him to buy some bad food and again he returned with tongue. Rabbi Shimon asked, why when asked to bring 'good' and 'bad' food, he brought the same tongue? The servant replied: 'It is the source of good and evil. When it is good, there is nothing better, when it is bad there is nothing worse.'"
