Philosophy - The Three Questions



Today we read a story based on a story by Leo Tolstoy written by Jon J Muth - The three Questions.
It talked about a boys quest to find the answers to 3 questions that would help him live a good life.

Question one: When is the best time to do things?
Question two: Who is the most important one?
Question three: What is the right thing to do?

After some eventful occurrences the wise turtle helps him realize that...

The most important time is NOW
The most important one is the one you are with
and the most important thing is to do good for the one who is standing at your side.

What do you think? Is there another answer or do you agree? Justify your answers.

I liked how to the authour turned a philoshopher's wisdom into a children's book.
I don't think they missed anything out.
That's a really good way to live life because you are always helping out but you are also bieng helped out if someone else lives that way!

when you have found out what the right time is and see how to do them and also when you see by other peoples actions and what they do.
2. the most important person is no one its everyone wearther they're your best friends or your worst enimies.
3.to pay attention and belive that you can do it and also if someone is in trouble or being hurt you should help them .

This book really made you think and opened your mind to new questions, thoughts and discoveries. I think that everything include in this book had a worthy meaning and is a great way live your life by. They incorporated the philosophers wisdom into the children s book really well in an understanding and heartwarming way.
