"3.

When the best student is told about the way,
It is barely within his power to practise it;
When the average student is told about the way,
It seems to him one moment there and gone the next;
When the worst student is told about the way,
He laughs out loud at it.
If he did not laugh at it
It would not have been good enough to be the way..."
