Once upon a time there was a funny
school.
There were no exams in the school.
There were no ranks, no grades, no results.
Tobu, who was a very intelligent boy, was
very unhappy about this.
"I am better than everyone else," Tobu thought."But if there are no exams, no one will ever know that I am the best."
He went to the teacher and complained about his problem.
The teacher smiled . He said,
"If you can answer one question,
I will tell everyone that you are the
best student.
" the question is :
which is the best season of the year ?"
Tobu went to the king of seasons and asked him, " Tell me, king, which is the best season of all?
The king answered, " all my seasons are the best. Each one has something that the other one does not have. And each one needs the other. If one season refuses to do it's work, the others won't be able to do theirs. Summer, Rain, Winter and Spring :
you cannot separate them.''
Toby listened carefully.
next day the teacher asked Tobu if he had found the answer to his question.
Tobu said, "the answer to your question
is that there is no one best season."
"Your answer is right." said the teacher,
"now I can give you the 1st rank as per your wish"
Tobu smiled and answered," but now i do not want the 1st rank any more. I have learned my lesson."
After that Tobu became a very happy boy.
