Teacher ask them to follow him. Finally they reached a river bank. All stood there without a word. Teacher asked one of his student to fetch the water by giving him a bowl. Student did the work. Teacher distributed the water to everyone.
Bowl is empty now. Teacher again asked another student to fetch the water. After getting the water, he again distributed it among students.
Again he asked another student to fetch the water and after getting water , he again distributed the water. This continued for some time.
Seeing the tiredness on the face of student , teacher smiled and asked them whether they have understood the lesson ? Students were confused.
Teacher told them " Knowledge is like an ocean. Teacher is just a mean for fetching it like a bowl. He will distribute whatever he knows , to students. But that is not the end. Still there is more to learn. Students can find another way to get that ".
