No laughing matter this. But you will still be compelled to. When Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a law-student at University College,London, there was a Professor Peters there who disliked him because Gandhi did not know his place and was not subservient; they argued often. One day, Professor Peters was lunching in the main Dining Hall of the University and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat down next to him. The Professor, in his arrogance, said, Mr Gandhi, you do not understand, a pig and a bird do not eat together. Gandhi replied, Please dont worry Professor, Ill fly away and he moved to another table. ***** The annoyed Professor Peters, was further irritated when Gandhi answered all questions brilliantly at the next examination. He asked Gandhi the following question, Mr. Gandhi, if you are walking down the street and find two bags, one is a bag of wisdom and the other bag contains a lot of money; which one would you take? Without hesitation, Gandhiji responded, The one with the money, of course! Mr. Peters, smiling, said, In your place, I would have taken the wisdom.. Each one must take what they dont already have, responded Gandhi indifferently. ********* Already ill-disposed to Gandhi, Professor Peters, wrote on one of Gandhis examination papers the word Idiot! and gave it to him. Gandhi took the exam-sheet and returned to his seat. A few minutes later, he approached the Professor and said, Sir, you have signed the sheet, but you have not given me a grade.
