Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course."
ガンジーは躊躇することなく答える、「もちろん、お金が入っている方です。」
Mr. Peters, smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."
教授は微笑みながら皮肉を込めて言う、「僕が君なら智慧の方を取るがね。」
Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have."
ガンジーは関心なさそうに肩をすくめると答えた、「各々、自分にないものを取るということですね。」
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied.
教授が激怒したのは言うまでもない。
So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk, trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the professor and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone, "Mr. Peters, you autographed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."
Mahatma Gandhi ..... A lovely little anecdote, about one of life's more interesting characters ....... マハトマ・ガンジー、興味深い人格を示す愛すべき逸話
When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London , a professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed animosity towards him. Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him as he expected, there were always "arguments" and confrontations.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came 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, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on 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 package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?"
