    Ramadin was fond of children. He had opened a school for the children of
    his village. One day he decided to test the intelligence of his pupils. He
    called two of them aside and gave them some money. He said, “Do you see
    those rooms at the edge of the field? I want you to fill them up with
    whatever you can. Each of you should fill one room. This is very little
    money, I know. But use it to the best of your ability and fill up the whole
    room.”
    The two pupils went to the marketplace and started looking for things to
    buy. The first pupil found a shop selling hay and thought, “Hay is cheap. It
    may fill the entire room.” So he bought all the hay and carried it to the
    room.
    In the evening, he showed the room to his teacher. “Sir, I have filled the
    room,” he said.
    “Yes,” the teacher replied, “With greater gloom”.
    Then they went to the other room. In the middle of the room was just a
    candle. As they entered, the second pupil lit the candle. Immediately, its
    light spread all around the room.
    “You have done well,” the teacher replied. “Where it was dark, you made it
    bright. Where it was empty, you filled in light.”
