The Educated Man and the Peasant
From “Stories to Get” by G.D. Morris
Once upon a time, there was a young man from Bucharest who had just finished university.
He was proud of his knowledge and smarts, and so decided to leave the big city and make his way
teaching peasants in the countryside. Immediately, he was met with difficulties. He found that people
didn’t take too kindly to being considered more stupid than he, for he was twenty-two and most of
the
people that he meet were much older.
If he was to teach them, he would have proved that he was smarter. Feeling confident of his
powers, he made a wager with a peasant. If the peasant couldn’t answer the educated man’s question
then the peasant would have to hand over three Lei. The educated man chuckled to himself. “This is
going to be easy money.” The entire village gathered to witness the quiz. The educated man asked the
first question, “What is the capital of England?” The peasant answered, “I don’t know. I will give you
three Lei.” “London.” The people gasped; they were impressed. The educated man pocketed the
money and asked a second question, “What moves very fast but doesn’t look like it is moving at all?”
The peasant answered, “I don’t know. I will give you three Lei.” “The earth.” The educated man
pocketed the money and asked a third question, “What goes up in the day and down at night?” The
peasant
answered, “I don’t know. I will give you three Lei.”
The educated man had taken from the peasant a total of nine Lei. Now the peasant was poor
and his wife started to cry. However, at his turn, the peasant also wished to ask the educated man a
question but if he could not answer it, he would have to hand over thousand Lei to the peasant. The
educated man quickly agreed and thought to himself. “This surely a fool!”
“What goes in the morning with two legs, at noon with four legs and in the evening with six
legs?” There was a long silence and everyone was staring at the educated man. He searched his brain
for a long time but to no avail. He did not know the answer and had a choice but to hand over five
thousand Lei, which was everything he had. Afterwards, the educated man was curious and so asked,
“So what goes in the morning with two legs, at noon with four and in the evening with six?” The

Can computers replace teachers?

Technology plays a great role in education. Nowadays, most of the schools invest in Information
Communications Technology (ICT) equipment like computers. (Those, These) devices are one of the most used tools
in school by teachers during their classroom instructions. (It, They) can operate with extreme wide range of tasks with

in handy. If connected to the internet, all information are just on the tip of a finger. (However, Moreover) education is
not just about learning facts and data. It is a lifetime process of facilitating learning, acquiring knowledge, and
continuously attaining of goals. Unlike a memory-limited computer, teachers can do immeasurable things for their
students. (For instance, But) teachers dedicate themselves in encouraging their learners to do best and realize what
they are capable of doing. Also, they inspire students to be successful in their chosen careers. Teachers give children
purpose and drive them to do well in life.
(To conclude, In addition) technology is a great tool in advocating education. But still, no machines like
computers can replace a teacher. It simply takes a humane commitment to be one.
