I would like to share this story to you. I use this story in my English class in Grade two pupils and they like it very much..Bear my writing because i'm not a writer and i just write it on how i remember the story..
The Fisherman and The Lawyer
One day,there was a lawyer , who wanted to go to city but the only way to go to there was to crossed the river. He called the boatman to take him to the other side of the river but the boatman wasn't there. A nice fisherman volunteered himself.
While in the boat the lawyer ask the fisherman. " Fisherman, do you know Mathematics?" The lawyer asked arrogantly. "I just know simple mathematics, sir" the fisherman replied." oh sorry to you , you missed 1/4 of your life." "Do you know how to read and write?" he continue asking the fisherman. "No sir, my parents are poor I have to work at the very early age to help them feed my siblings, so i was not able to come to school". the fisherman answer. " Oh so sad,with that you already missed 1/2 of your life".
The fisherman and the lawyer had already reached at the most deepest part of the river. The current of the water is increasing "Sir, do you know how to swim?" the fisherman asks."No, i don't know how to swim." the lawyer replied with surprise. " Then you will missed 1 whole of your life."

Very good story for all of us, because it gives us a sense of respect with all kinds of person's , after all, we're exactly equal in the back, even though, the human society can separate us by our seeming "differences".
