She said "What are you doing?" I answer her" I carry fire wood and study at the same time."
I have no money, so I am doing job for tuition in the early morning. By the way, Old Japanese like me have no bed. So I can't go to bed too. So I always study till morning.
" You are always sleeping in the classroom." She said. I thought her stupid. Are what teachers say instructive and helpful for my business? I told to her" How brilliant I am ! Because I never listen to what teachers say."
There are statues of me in any Japanese elementary schools. This means" You shall not listen to what teachers say."
Of course this story is FICTION.But it is true that there are statues of ninomiya sontoku in every Japanese elementary schools.(actually about 55%)
