📖
The Revelation
Old teacher takes some curiosity and wants to know the reason behind becoming a teacher.
The young man tells the story of becoming a teacher and reminds the old teacher about
a significant incident from school days.
⏰
The Stolen Watch
"Remember sir, one day one of my classmates came to class with a new wrist watch.
Her watch was so beautiful I could not handle the greed. I decided I wanted the watch
and stole it from her pocket. When she complained to you, you told the class,
'This student's watch was stolen during class today, whoever stole it, please return it.'"
👁️
The Clever Solution
"You closed the door and asked everyone to leave their benches and form a circle.
You instructed everyone to close their eyes, then you searched all our pockets and bags
until you recovered the watch. When you found it in my bag, you didn't say anything.
After checking all students, you simply said, 'The watch has been found, now you all can open your eyes.'"
🛡️
Protected Dignity
"When my friend asked who had taken the watch, you replied, 'It doesn't matter who took the watch.
What matters is that you got your watch back.' You never mentioned my name, never scolded me,
and never took me to the principal. You protected my respect before everyone else."
💫
Life-Changing Impact
"That incident became the most significant chapter of my life. I suffered regret for a long time
and burned in the fire of repentance. Then I decided I would never do such wrong deeds again.
I decided to become a teacher - to build human beings with truth and compassion.
Your kindness and generosity brought me here today sir."
😢
Teacher's Emotional Response
The eyes of the old teacher filled with tears. While wiping them, the teacher said,
"I remember the incident, but I didn't remember you, because that time not only were your eyes closed,
but mine were closed too. Can any teacher see childlike students as thieves?
I want my students to be proud, to see them as heroes."
