hapy teachers' day to all!

There is a legend about a king who decided to set aside a special day to
honor his greatest subject. When the big day arrived, there was a large
gathering in the palace courtyard. Four finalists were brought forward, and
from these four, the king would select the winner.

The first person presented was a wealthy philanthropist. The king was told
that this man was highly deserving of the honor because of his humanitarian
efforts. He had given much of his wealth to the poor.

The second person was a celebrated physician. The king was told that this
doctor was highly deserving of the honor because he had rendered faithful
and dedicated service to the sick for many years.

The third person was a distinguished judge. The king was told that the
judge was worthy because he was noted for his wisdom, his fairness, and his
brilliant decisions.

The fourth person presented was an elderly woman. Everyone was quite
surprised to see her there, because her manner was quite humble, as was her
dress. She hardly looked the part of someone who would be honored as the
greatest subject in the kingdom. What chance could she possibly have, when
compared to the other three, who had accomplished so much?

Even so, there was something about her; the look of love in her face, the
understanding in her eyes, her quiet confidence.

The king was intrigued, to say the least, and somewhat puzzled by her
presence. He asked who she was. The answer came: "You see the
philanthropist, the doctor, and the judge? Well, she was their teacher!"

There is nothing as honorable as someone who unselfishly gives of his/her
time to work with children to bring out the greatness in them.
