Learning From The Little Ones

About a year ago during my Story Telling Programme at a school in Yio Chu Kang, a little boy brought my attention to the existence of the “liger”. I asked the rest of the class and none of them knew about it. I told the little boy that I will try to find it out. I checked with some people but to no avail. The dictionary did not help either.

Recently I found the answer. The liger is a cat born from the breeding of a male lion and a female tiger.

We have much to learn from children. Their eagerness, enthusiasm, sense of awe and wonder, joy, simplicity and quest for learning never fail to challenge me.
