"Why should I bow before that man?", asked a kid.
"He's a top aristocrat of this kingdom. Kid we're low class, born in a lower class that's why we have to bow to him", said the man.
"Can I be like him? I also want to be respected by people", said the kid.
"Hahaha.....you're good in joking kid. A lowclass can't become a Scholar like them", said the man and walked away.
Determined to become a Scholar like the man described, the kid decided to be like the one he saw on the very first day in the kingdom city.
