Children were happy with this proposal and came on Tuesday and shoutedby his window and received money. This time the old man said, however, that on Wednesday they can only get 25 cents. The story repeated the next day, except that the rate for Thursday dropped down to 1 cent. - No way! - He heard in reply. And he no longer had to bear with children’s noise.

  19. External rewards can reduce internal interest.

  23. What do we want in our life and how education can help us to gain this?
