ISEB 10 Weeks Program
7th Week
Topic 1: Sophia is a Development Teacher
There is a little town which is far from a big city. It is isolated and the only school.
It is very small and does not have much support, so the people who live in the town cannot get a good education.
One day, a new lady moves to the town. Her name is Sophia. She is a lively and radiant person. She opens a free learning center so that the kids who live in the town can get a better education.
Lots of young people started going to the learning center. Sophia is busy all day and has to get a staff of volunteers to help her! The kids have lots of fun and learn many new things with the kind volunteers. They even improved their grades at school. Most of the parents in town are thrilled with Sophia’s learning center, but one mother, Judy, is not convinced.
“Who would want to open a free learning center and work for free?” Judy wonders. “Sophia must be a liar or a criminal. She has something to hide.”
But her neighbors disagree. “That is not true,” they said, she is just a good person and she wants to improve our community for all of us.
We believe that there are still a few personalities who are working like Sophia, but as per the current requirement we are in need of their support and we will be lucky to have more Sophias in our community. Thank you and always support quality education.
Topic 2: Evening Dinner with a Father
A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner. Father being very old and weak while eating dropped food on his shirt and trousers. Other diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.
After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the washroom, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair, and fitted his spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that. The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?”
The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t”.
The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father”.
The restaurant went silent.
Moral: To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honours. We all know, how our parents cared for us for every little thing. Love them, respect them, and care for them.
Thank you and have a nice day.
