One day in math class, the teacher wrote on the board, the multiplication table by the number 9. 9x1=9 9x2=18, and so on. But in the last entry, she wrote 9x10-89. After writing this, she faced the children and noticed they were all laughing. She asked them the reason why they were laughing at her. First, the students hesitated but then one of them stood up and still giggling said, “Teacher, you wrote the last line of the table wrong. 9 x 10 is not 89. 9 x 10 is 90.”
Listening to this the teacher smiled and said, “I have written the last line incorrectly for a reason because I wanted to teach you something very important. You can see that I have written this table correctly 9 times, but no one appreciated that. Every one of you noticed the mistake I made and laughed at me because of that. Our math lesson is a life lesson. This is how the world is. People don’t appreciate all the things you do right and all the good you do, but as soon as you make one mistake, they may criticize you or get angry at you.
MORAL: No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Always do good deeds and help others, even if no one notices. A small good deed done by you will be a big help to a person in need.
