😁"One day, my mother realised that she had never seen her son studying at home. So she told my teacher at a parent’s association meeting. 'Please give my son homework at least occasionally. Otherwise, he never studies at home.' My teacher answered, 'Your son has never done his homework despite the fact that I give him homework every day!' Disastrous was that night. I got a two-hour lecture from my parents."

but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
