When Nelson Mandela was studying law at the University, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room when Mandela came along with his tray & sat next to the professor.
The professor said,
"Mr Mandela, you do not understand, a pig & a bird do not sit together to eat"
Mandela looked at him as a parent would a rude child & calmly replied,
"You do not worry professor. I'll fly away,"
& he went & sat at another table.
Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge.
The next day in class he posed the following question:
"Mr. Mandela, if you were walking down the street & found a package, & within was a bag of wisdom & another bag with money, which one would you take ?"
Without hesitating, Mandela responded, "The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said,
"I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."
Nelson Mandela shrugged & responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have."
Mr. Peters, by this time was about to throw a fit, seething with fury. So great was his anger that he wrote on Nelson Mandela's exam sheet the word "IDIOT"
& gave it to the future struggle icon.
Mandela took the exam sheet & sat down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.
A few minutes later, Nelson Mandela got up, walked up to the professor & told him in a dignified polite tone,
"Mr. Peters, you signed your name on the sheet, but you forgot to give me my grade."
