Review

There were 6 blind men. One day, they heard about a creature called an Elephant. These 6 men argued about an elephant.

Eventually, the 6 men were able to meet an elephant in real life. All the men touched different portions of the elephant and began arguing about what the creature really is. They disagreed until they woke the king, he told them about the thing being an elephant. He said to put all the parts together and then they might understand. They went home and discussed and they understood that all of them touched different parts.

People have different perspectives and you are not always right.

Story

There are two lumberjacks, one young and one old. They had a competition to see who cut the most wood. The young one thought he was going to win because the old one kept on taking breaks. At the end the old one won because the breaks were for sharpening his ax.

 Lesson

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover 

Just like the ax we should sharpen are body and mind

Reflection Adventure of the Week 

To go outside and study something and write note about it

Notes by Savitha Somnath Buono

RECAP:

We talked about the story of the blind man, the king and the elephant. Last week’s RAW was to clean up trash in a park.

STORY:

Once upon a time, there were two lumberjacks. One was old and one was young. They had a contest to see who could chop more wood in one day. The lumberjack thought he would definitely win as he had more energy and also because he could hear the old lumberjack taking a lot of breaks during the day. When evening came, the 2 lumberjacks gathered to see who had won the contest. Much to the young one’s surprise, the old man had cut more wood than him. 

“How is this possible? You were taking so many breaks?” the young lumberjack stammered. 

“Really? You thought they were breaks? No, I was sharpening my axe!!!!” replied the old lumberjack. 

MESSAGE:

Never underestimate people who might have more experience than you. 

RAW:

Go outside, pick an item and focus on it (like a tree or grass) for a long time. Observe it and learn from it.
