So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his hometown. \"There's so much to learn,\" he'd say. \"Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.\" He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.\nTherefore, Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, we'd still do _ . And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of the day. Sometimes the news was unimportant, but it was always taken seriously. Stanley would listen carefully and discuss it with us.\nThen came the moment--the time to share the day's new learning.\n\"Felice,\" he'd say, \"tell me what you learned today.\"\n\"I learned that the population of Denmark is ....\"\nSilence.\nStanley was thinking about what was said. \"The population of Denmark.

Old Dan smiled, and took it. \"Thank you, little miss,\" he said, \"It is kindly meant.\"\nAfter that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool. Soon she was scared by a noise near her, and Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock!\nHe licked her hands and made a loud noise, and then began gently to pull her coat. \"Rover wishes me to come away, I see,\" she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, that was not so easy as she had expected. She found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up, and as the tide had been coming in for some time. She found some of the stones wet and smooth.\nWhat could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the waves made a much louder noise than she could make, and perhaps she would have been drowned without good wise Rover.\nRover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the waves could not drown it.\nThe fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs , and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover in trouble, so, going to the edge of the cliffs, he looked over. There he saw it all--Rover barking for help, and the little child standing beside him.\n\"Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!\" he cried, and he hurried to his sons' home.\n\"Quick, boys, quick!\" he said. \"Get to the boat, and row fast to the bay . There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned.\" The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out, and give her into her mother's arms.\n\"It was the penny that did it, madam,\" he said to Mrs. Weston later. \"I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kind-like into my hand--just as if he would have said, 'Rover will be your friend now, little girl.' And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day, for he never came near me after that.\"\nSome years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written-- \"Will Maggie help Rover?--his master is dead.\"\n\n<question>:\nWhat can we learn from the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA One kind act brings another.\nB You should act and speak the same--kindly.\nC One person's pleasure may be another's pain.\nD People often forget what is really important in our lives.\n\n<answer>:\n",
