Truthfulness
This incident happened when Gopala Krishna Gokhale was in his childhood. Once in the school , maths teacher gave homework to students. Next day he wanted students to come to class with completed homework.
But since the problems were little difficult, no student had done the homework except Gokhale. Teacher checked answer sheet of Gokhale and found all the solution to problems are correct. He showed the paper to class and praised Gokhale.
Teacher wanted Gokhale to come infront of class. But Gokhale didnt leave his seat. Teacher called again and again. Gokhale sat in his seat itself. Teacher came near Gokhale and asked for reason that he is not coming infront of class.
Then Gokhale replied that the homework he has done with the help of his brother. He has not done it by himself. So , he is not eligible for what the teacher mean to do. By hearing this, teacher was dumbfounded by Gokhale's truthfulness.
