Long ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.

One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.”

　　Most of the little girls in the school near Gates Street wore pretty new clothes that spring. But a little girl from Gates Street wore the same dirty dress that she had worn all winter. It was probably the only dress she owned.

　　Her teacher thought the little girl was so nice! She always worked hard at school; she was always polite and friendly. But her face was dirty and her hair was untidy (乱糟糟的).

　　One day the teacher said,“Will you wash your face before you come to school tomorrow morning? Please do that for me.”The teacher wanted to see that girl was pretty under the dirt.

　　The next morning the child's pretty face appeared. Her hair was clean, too. Before the little girl went home that afternoon, the teacher said,“Now, dear, please ask your mother to wash your dress.”But the little girl continued to wear the dirty dress.“Her mother is probably not interested in her,” the teacher thought. So she bought a bright blue dress and gave it to the little girl.
