　　Long long ago, there lived a learned man in Greece(希臘). He was so well known for his

　　good Knowledge Of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly(全身心的)and answered their questions with great patience.

　　One day a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many

　　more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”

　　With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles. One is as large as a big cake, the

　　other is smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a

　　teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the

　　bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circle

　　is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger

　　circle. That means I have more chances to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself

　　have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you will have. You will

　　never learn enough, you know.”
