A wise teacher asked his students, 'How can we determine the hour of dawn-when the night ends and the day begins?'
'When, from a distance, you can distinguish between a dog and a sheep?' one of his students suggested.
'No,' the teacher answered.
'Is it when you can distinguish between an oak tree and a hickory tree?' another student asked.
'No,' he replied.
'Please tell us the answer, then,' said the students.
'It is when you can look into the face of a human being and have enough light to recognize in him your brother,' the wise teacher replied. 'Until then, it is night, and the darkness is still with us.'
