Among three people, one can always find a teacher.
One day, Confucius was riding in a wagon with his students. A group of boys were building a sandcastle in the middle of the road. Confucius asked the boys to move aside. Xiang Tuo, a seven-year-old boy said, "Since when does a castle give way to a wagon? You have to go round a castle." "This boy is very clever," Confucius thought.
Confucius decided to ask him some questions.
"What kind of mountain has no rock?" asked Confucius.
The boy replied, "A sand mountain has no rock."
"What water does not have fish in it?" Confucius asked.
"Fish do not live in well water," Xiang Tuo replied.

"What kind of horse does not give birth to baby horses?" asked Confucius.
"A wooden horse does not give birth to baby horses," Xiang Tuo said.
Confucius said to his students, "Among three people, one can always find a teacher."
