Why study English?
The importance of studying
An Indian folk tale
(instead)
Once upon a time , in a small village , there was an old man
who seemed to know the answer to every question.
A group of young men decided to put this wits to the test.
One of them was to hold a bird behind his back
so that the old man could not see it
and ask him , whether the bird was dead or alive
„If he said , it was alive , the youth would kill it.
If he said , it was dead , the youth would let if fly.”
So they went to the old man and pointing to the youth with the bird
asked:
„What is it that he hides in his hands?”
„A bird” : the old man answered.
„If so , wise man – Is it dead or alive ?”
They asked again.
And the old man only answered :
„It is in your hands. It is in your hands ….”
No doubt , your future is in your hands , too.
So think it over !
