Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the excerpt, the speaker's friend gives a reasonable plan ("take these cheeses...put out again on good salt water"). But the speaker refuses to follow this counsel (chooses to see the caveman instead), and it turns out badly ("no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends"). This shows the negative consequence of not following a trusted friend's advice.

Answer:

It is wise to follow the counsel of trusted friends.
