In English
Once, Socrates was walking, accompanied by his students. He walked with his head bent down, as he wanted to set an example to his students in the matter of looks. Suddenly, he bumped into a man coming from the opposite direction. This other person who was an officer of the State, angrily demanded, "Who are you?" With humility, Socrates replied, "Sir, that precisely is the question I am grappling with! Please can you tell me who exactly I am?" Socrates was strict not only in the matter of looks but also with respect to listening. He never listened to anything bad.
