"Tell me a Story!" by Rabindranath Tagore
As soon as the child learns to speak, he says: "Tell me a story."
Grandmother begins: "Once upon a time, a prince and his friend, the minister's son-----"
She is stopped by the schoolmaster, who says: "Three times four make twelve."
Well-wishers go on dinning in the child's ears: "Three times four make twelve; this is a fact, while the prince is fiction; therefore-----"
It fails to impress the child, for his mind has flown away to an unmapped land where the prince has killed a demon; and no arithmetic has the wings to fly there.
The well-wishers shake their heads and say: "Spoilt, absolutely spoilt; the rod is the only remedy."
Grandmother has been put to silence by the schoolmaster. But one story-teller takes the place of another. There is no end to them. The well-wishers repeat in vain: "Those stories are not recorded in history. They are false."
From primary to higher school, from school to college, the attempt goes on to reform the boy; but nothing can stop his demand: "Tell me a story."
