- 2 minutes 56 secondsS4 - E4 - The teacher and the essay
In our series of (super) short stories to boost your learning in under two minutes we are going into the story of a teacher who had her students write an essay about an interesting topic.
I love this story, because it makes me consider how we treat our 'things' vs how we treat those we love. What do you take away?

It's already time for the last story in this series of short stories. To be fair, this one is not actually all that short, but it definitely is a very inspiring and thought provoking one. It is inspired by Leo Tolstoj's short story 'How much land does a man need'. Probably some of you know it already. It is one of Majd's favorites and therefore we could not leave it out.
