Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Gandhiji) .... Subject: Unknown facts. Sent to me by a very good and worthy friend. While Mohandas Gandhi was studying law at the University College London, he had a professor, Peters, whohad an unexplained animosity for Gandhi, and because Gandhi never backed down, their arguments were very common. One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room at the University and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor, in his arrogance, said, Mr Gandhi: you do not understand... a pig and a bird do not sit together to eat, to which Gandhi replied , Dont worry professor, Ill fly away, and he went and sat at another table. Prof. Peters, now red with rage, planned his revenge on the next test . When the test was taken Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions. Finally, Prof.Peters asked him, Mr Gandhi, if you are walking down the street and find a package, and within it there is a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money; which one would you take? Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, The one with the money, of course. Mr. Peters, smiling, said, I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, dont you think? Well each one must take what one doesnt have, responded Gandhi indifferently. Prof. Peters, by now almost hysterical , scribbled the word idiot on the sheet and shoved it at Gandhi. Gandhi takes the exam sheet and sits down. A few minutes later, Gandhi goes up to the professor and says, Prof. Peters, youve signed the sheet, but you havent given me my grade !
