Amazing historical story that you must read

Two thousand years ago, the famous Greek philosopher Plato opened an academy in Athens where he began teaching the sons of nobles. When the academy was in full swing, he hired an 18-year-old boy to do the day-to-day work. The boy brought tea and water and did other small chores. This academy was exclusively for princes. So if the boy had done his job, he would have gone out. The doors of the class room would be closed and Plato would start teaching students again. The boy also sat near the door and listened to what was going on inside. Two months later, Plato's class ended. Now as per tradition, a spectacular ceremony was performed. All the scholars of the city used to participate in it. Parents of the students would also participate. The ceremony would also be an examination for every student in the class, so that everyone would have a lively discussion on a topic. So the theme of the event was the importance of knowledge. Students who have recently graduated from Plato's class come to the dice, something about the subject Saying sentences and then returning. No student was able to give an inspiring speech on the importance of knowledge. Plato got really worried after seeing this. Suddenly the servant boy approached him and asked if I could speak. Plato looked at him in a mixture of surprise and indifference and then rejected the boy's request. He said I did not teach you, then how can you express your opinion? The boy then told him that he has been sitting at the door for the last two months listening to his teaching. By then Plato was disappointed with all his disciples. So he introduced his young man to the audience He motioned for the boy to speak. The boy began to speak, then spoke for half an hour on the virtue of knowledge. The whole assembly was amazed at his eloquence and immense knowledge. Speech was very arguable and effective. When the boy had finished speaking, Plato again came to the dice and addressed the audience, saying, "You know, I worked hard to teach the students, and I did not make any mistakes during the teaching." My students lacked the essence of learning, so they could learn from me. While this (boy) had a desire for knowledge, he succeeded in getting everything I wanted to teach my students. Today, the world knows this boy by the name of Aristotle, who left a lasting impression on his ideas, from philosophy to science. He is one of the great philosophers and intellectuals of mankind.
