London, a white professor whose last name was Wilson,
disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and
animosity towards him.
Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when
addressing him, as he expected, there were always
"arguments" and confrontations.
.
One day, Professor Wilson was having lunch at the dining
room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray
and sat next to the professor. The professor said, "Mr
Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit
together to eat." Gandhi looked at him as a parent would to
a rude child and calmly replied, "Do not worry professor. I'll
fly
away," and he went and sat at another table.
.
Professor Wilson reddened with rage, decided to take
revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded
brilliantly to all questions. Professor Wilson, unhappy and
frustrated, asked him the following question. "Mr Gandhi, if
you were walking down the street, found a package, and
within one was a bag of wisdom and another was a bag with
a lot of money, which one would you take?"
.
Without hesitating, Gandhi responded... "The one with the
money of course." Professor Wilson, smiling sarcastically
said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don't
you think?" Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded,
"Each one takes what he doesn't have."
.
Professor Wilson, by this time was boiling. So great was his
anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "Idiot"
and gave it to Gandhi. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat
down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he
contemplated his next move.
.
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the professor
and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone,
.
"Professor Wilson, you signed the sheet, but you did not
give me the marks!"have a great day y'all.
