#17 "the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" challenge.
Happy Lesson © Media Works / KSS Films / ADV Films.
After a lengthy study session with Mutsuki, Chitose tossed his books aside and held his face in his hands. "ARRGH!!" he said into his hands. "I'm never going to learn all this stuff."
"You shouldn't talk like that," Mutsuki said. "If you have a positive attitude, and you're willing to learn, there's no limit to what you can do!"
"Wait a minute," Chitose said. "I've heard a saying that goes, 'The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.' Isn't that true?"
"Well, yes, in a way," Mutsuki said.
"In that case," Chitose said, "I already have true wisdom, 'cause I know I know nothing!"
Mutsuki blankly stared at Chitose for a moment. And then, she shouted. "SATSUKI!!"
Satsuki walked up. Mutsuki held up her open hand and 'tagged' Satsuki's hand. "Your turn. I'm not getting anywhere with him today."
After Mutsuki walked away, Satsuki cracked her knuckles. "Alright, boy! Drop and give me twenty!"
"You know," Chitose began, "if you exercise too much, it can actually be bad for your health— *MMMPH*!!"
"It's also bad for your health when I step on your face!!" Satsuki said. "So save your breath— your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me!!"
