[ WP ] Everyone always talks about those ancient and proud warrior races . Instead , tell me about the meek and timid races .

`` Alright children. In order to be successful in life you must avoid confrontation at all costs. Can anyone tell me the best way of reacting to any type of confrontation?'' 
 The question was met with silence, broken only by a cough and a few nervous sniffs. The teacher's gaze swept over the small figures sitting in the grass in front of her. The students expertly avoided her eyes by staring pointedly at the ground in front of them. 
 
 `` Good! But ignoring the problem does n't always work. If you ca n't avoid a confrontation completely your second best option is to run away as quickly as possible. Let yourself be guided by the spirit of the swift footed gazelle.'' The teacher paused momentarily as the student's nodded and scribbled her words onto their pieces of papyrus. 
 
 `` Now after you've run away, rather than keep running, a wise strategy is to *hide* as quickly as possible. Like the elusive chameleon you must be able to slip out of sight at a moments notice. This is also a good way of avoiding a confrontation in the first place.'' Once again she paused to allow the students to take notes. 
 
 `` If you are discovered you only have one option left to you. Like the wise armadillo, when confronted with danger and no option to avoid it you must curl up into a ball.

Do your best to make sure you can not see or hear anything, that way it can not harm you. 
 
 `` Next we will practice how to properly perform this technique. It *is* a last resort and hopefully you will not have to use it. Nevertheless it is very important to know. Now pair up into groups of two and-'' Her eyes fell on a small figure at the very back of the class. He was sprawled out on the grass snoring quite peacefully. 
 
 `` Bolo!'' The scrawny child awoke with a start and was met with the sound of his classmates' laughter. 
 
 `` Bolo, since you were listening so attentively, would you like to tell the class what the three strategies of dealing with confrontation are?'' The tiny Bolo felt his breathing quicken. He shook his head and stared at the ground. 
 
 `` I asked you a question Bolo. What are the three methods of dealing with confrontation?'' Bolo looked up at her with wild, panicked, eyes and then over to his classmates. Without another word he stood up and sprinted away, making for the trees on the edge of the clearing. 
 
 The teacher pulled a piece of papyrus and charcoal from the sleeve of her robe. On the list of names, next to Bolo, she marked'A+ for participation.'
