I found three identical notebooks lying on the desk this morning.
I opened one to find a half finished sentence: "knowledge is better than weal"..
So, I opened the second book and found the same sentence carried on: "knowledge is better than wealth you".. still unfinished.
Intrigued, I then opened the last notebook to find this sentence written in scrawny handwriting at the top of the first page: knowledge is better than wealth. knowledge protects you while you protect wealth.
Those three notebooks belong to 3 lil siblings who come over for tuition every weekend. Apparently, the first 2 kids didn't get enough time to finish copying that sentence from the 3rd kid, hehee.

Lol, cuteness. I was intrigued too and thought there was some profound ending of someone so poignant. Turns out to be kids! Hehe. The quote is poignant enough though. :)
Btw, I can't seem to get a feed off your blog. So yours in one of the few I have to visit manually every now and then to check for updates. Any ideas?

ps: I really find it so magical, the way in which you got to the full sentence.
It's like discovering a universal secret, the way it would happen in a story book.
I thought about that a couple of times after reading it :)
