Dositheus, nicknamed the teacher, was the most cultured and wise man in the kingdom; Therefore, all the people went there to find an answer and he, with his wise words, made everyone reflect on their concerns.

One day a man appeared and asked:

-Teacher, light or shade?

And Dositeo replied:

Light is life.

The shadow is death.

There is no shadow without light.

No life without luck.

Dositeo turned back to his reading as he always did and the man left thinking about those words.

Another day a young man appeared and asked:

-Teacher, man or woman?

Neither woman nor man

Neither weak nor strong.

The woman gives life

that is her great luck.

Dositeo became engrossed in his reading as he always did and the young man left there reflecting on those words.

That same afternoon a woman approached and asked:

-Teacher, face or cross?

The face is not better

nor worse the cross,

of the darkness

the light is born

Dositeo became engrossed in his reading as he always did and the woman left thinking about his words.

One morning in blue sky a child came and asked:

- You come with me to play the ball?

Dositeo, when listening to the little voice, looked at the child and did not think about it.

He left everything and with the child he played and, above all, he learned.

Children give great lessons.
