'How can we determine the hour or dawn, when the night ends and the day begins?' asked the Teacher.
'When from a distance you can distinguish between a dog and a sheep' suggested one of the students.
'No' was the answer.
'Is is when one can distinguish between a fig tree and a grapevine?' asked a second student.
'No.'
'Please tell us the answer then.'
'It is, then,' said the Teacher, 'when you can look in the face of a
human being and you have enough light to recognise in him or her your
brother or sister. Up till then it is night and darkness is still with
us.'
