The Clever Judge

Once a lion, a fox and a donkey set off a day’s hunting after agreeing that each was to have an equal share of what was caught. After a time, they were able to pull down and kill a fat buck, and the lion asked the donkey to be as good as to divide the prize. As fairly as he could, the obliging donkey cut up the buck into three equal parts, and then he invited the lion to take his choice.

At this, the lion flew into a violent rage, sprang on the poor donkey, and killed him with a powerful blow. Then the lion told the fox to divide the meat. The fox did, but he was cunning. He put aside a big heap for the lion’s share, and kept only a small piece for himself.

On seeing this, the lion looked very pleased. “Master fox,” he said, “ this is very satisfactory. Who taught you to be so clever”

“ The dead donkey has been my teacher,” replied the fox,” From this foolish conduct I have learned to be wise,”

One day, I had to teach a new English class. I read the list of new students’ names. It was kiddies’ group since they were about 9 and 10 years old.

That was the first day of The Spanish carnival, so I wanted to wear the most appropriate suit for the children’s class. Most kids usually dress up at carnival I thought. It would be more interesting if their teacher was also in carnival spirit. That was why I decided to wear my teddy bear suit and bring cuddly toys in my box

And that was what I did. I walked through the door happily. The director watched me completely astonished. I smiled and looked straight at her. With a man beside her, she said, “ Good afternoon. I’d like to introduce you to Mr. Mendez, the director of Delta company. He is one of the participants of English course that you will teach today.”
