A road sign at the first fork 38 one way to the lion quarters and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the former after a 39 discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland”.

With a good teacher, such times should be less 49 than with a bad one; so the worse the teacher, the more responsibility you have for your 50 ! Whatever your luck in this 51 , one thing is most significant and stays the same, whatever the quality of teaching you receive: if there is something you don't understand, you must ask, again and again if necessary, until you do understand it fully. 52 though this may seem, it is 53 unbelievable how many people would rather sit in silent ignorance than admit not understanding. To behave in such a way is the only truly 54 thing a student can do: it's a false form of pride, which is the most useless, damaging quality anyone can have, to say nothing of a student! 55 , regard your teacher as a guide or even a friend and do not sit quietly wondering what he's going on about.
