3-Mathematical
Miracles...
Little Sameer who was a Hindu, was failing in math. His parents tried
everything. Tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers, but
nothing helped. As a last resort, someone told them to try a Catholic
School.
"Those nuns are tough" they said.
Sameer was soon enrolled at St Mary's. After school on the very first day
Sameer ran through the door and straight to his room, without even kissing
his mother hello. He started studying furiously, books and papers spread all
over his room. Right after dinner, he ran upstairs without mentioning TV and
hit the books harder than before. His parents were amazed.
This behavior continued for weeks, until report card day arrived. Sameer
quietly laid the envelope on the table and went to his room. With great
trepidation, his mother opened the report.
Sameer had an gotten an 'A' in math! She ran up to his room, threw her arms
around him and asked,
"Sameer , how did this happen? Was it the nuns?"
"No" said Sameer. "On the first day of school when I saw that man nailed to
the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around". |
