THE CANOE

In a wide river, of difficult passage, it had a boatman that he crossed the people of a side for the other. In one of the trips, a lawyer and a teacher went. As who likes to speak very,

the lawyer asks to the boatman: Friend, do you understand of laws? Not. The boatman answers. And he felt sorry lawyer: It is a shame; you have lost half of the life!

The teacher, very social, enters in the colloquy: Its boatman, do you know to read and to write? Also not – the rower answers. What a pity! – It hurts me, master – you lost half of the life! In this it moment comes a sufficiently strong wave and it turns the boat. The worried boatman, asks: Do you knows to swim? Not! They had answered quickly.

Then it is a shame – the boatman concluded – You have lost all the life!

“It does not have to know more or to know little: It has to know different”.
