The best lesson



Once a student and a Professor walked through the Park. Passing fields, they noticed a pair of old shoes and a rumpled raincoat, and came to the conclusion that these things belong to the poor man that was work in the field...

Student jokingly suggested the idea to take and hide those things and then to watch the behavior of the poor. But the Professor suggested another idea:

- Want to get pleasure from watching? You're rich, I think it will cost nothing for you to put a coin in each shoe, to hide and observe... I assure you, you will get more pleasure..."

The student did so, quietly put 2 coins into each footwear , crouched with the Professor. The poor who had finished his work, walked over to his things, put on his coat, put on his shoes... and felt something prevented him. Took off his shoe and saw a coin! Opened the second one - another coin!

Looked around - nobody. The happiness of the poor was infinite. He knelt down and lifted up his hands thanking God for help in a difficult moment of his life when his wife was sick.

The Professor looked at the face of a student and could not restrain a smile noticed tears on the eyes of a young man. He asked him:
- Have fun?
-This is the best lesson that you have for me to teach, -replied the student.
