“Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.”

The Fox and the Crow

Once upon a time, there was a tree.

The tree had a crow on one of its branches.

There was also a fox…

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in

its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.

"That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the

foot of the tree.

"Good-day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How

well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright

your eye.

I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me

hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."

The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she

opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by

Master Fox. 

"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a

piece of advice for the future.

"Do not trust flatterers."

As the moral says:

"Do not trust flatterers."

Now, I would like you to write about an experience that

had happened to you in the past and explain where you

had faced this kind of situation.

Thank you!
