To this one of the students who always got first position in the school’s racing competition, raised his hand and said, “Yes ma’am my power is in my legs, I can run very fast!”
“Ok. Anyone else?” the teacher looked around waiting for some other answers. Maria then raised her hand and said, “Ma’am I have the power of knowledge. Whatever I have learnt from reading books and listening to classroom lectures, all this has contributed towards increasing my knowledge and giving me more wisdom.” As Maria finished, everyone in the classroom burst into laughter and made fun of her.
“Silent everybody!” the teacher ordered and
said to Maria, “Yes my child you are right, and all those who are laughing at you will soon get to know that knowledge is indeed a power!” The teacher’s words of appreciation made Maria feel good but she could not forget the way her classmates were making fun of her.
