When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, a professor whose last name was Peters, didn’t like him at all. Peters was just like Uncle Freddie. He always displayed hatred towards him.
And because Gandhi never bow he head when he was talking to Peters although Peters expected him to, there were always confrontations.
One day, Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University and Gandhi come along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said, “Mr. Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat.”
Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, “You do not worry, professor. I’ll fly away,” and he went and sat at another table.
Mr. Peters, get really vex and decided to take revenge pun the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions.
Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question:
“Mr. Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a bag wid wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?”
Without hesitating, Gandhi seh, “The one with the money, of course.”
Mr. Peters, smile and seh, “I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom.”
Gandhi shake he shoulders and seh, “Each one takes what he doesn’t have.”
Mr. Peters, by this time, coulda ketch fits. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi’s exam paper the word “idiot” and gave it to Gandhi.
Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk. He try very hard to remain calm while planning he next move.
A few minutes later, Gandhi get up, went to the professor and said to him calmly, “Mr. Peters, you autographed the sheet, but you did not give me a grade.”
Dem boys hear when de great Mahatma Gandhi graduate he go back to India and lead nuff protests against the Raj. He came back to England to negotiate a settlement. A reporter like Freddie ask him, Gandhi, wha you think about de “civilization of England”.
Gandhi think for a moment and reply to Freddie: “I think it would be a good idea.”
Talk half and hope that Soulja Bai act just like Gandhi, because he magga like Gandhi anyhow.
