Children can beat the Grown ups

Abhishek and Janak

A grown up person can think rationally because it is expected from him/her.  What if a four year child behaves sagaciously to you! Yesterday, my wife narrated an incident of a boy (aunt's son) who used to study in Kindergarten then.  I was astounded when I heard this.

It’s about a drawing class competition. Once he came from the school with flying color. Well, he had scored the highest marks because of his outstanding performance in the drawing class. When his mother got his paper in hand, she was surprised why he did not even use color to paint a cow. The teacher had deducted some marks due to eluding to color on the cow. She asked, “Son! Why did not you do this? You could have scored marks, had you done coloring on the picture!”  Taking off his shoes, he replied to mom, “Mom! why shall I do coloring on that COW? Don’t you know that white cows exist in our town? When it is already white on the paper, why shall add an extra flavor.” Mom got surprised to hear this from his son.

How would we rate this sort of brilliancy? Aren’t we fool to consider ourselves smarter than children? Children have such a brain that we cannot even comprehend. It’s beyond our limit. Children can beat the grown ups.
