Once upon a time, there was a man who was very ignorant but always liked to show off his knowledge. He boasted that he could read and write well, so some villagers invited him to be a teacher for their children.
One day, while teaching, he saw the word "Ke" (meaning Chicken) in the book. Because the character had many strokes, he got confused. He guessed it looked like the word "Du Di" (a type of bird), so he taught the children: "This is 'Du Di'."
However, he felt unsure. He secretly asked the spirits using a coin toss. By pure luck, the coins confirmed he was right. Feeling confident, he made the students read loudly: "Du Di is the Du Di bird!"
The landowner, who was educated, heard the noise and ran out. He looked at the book and said: "This is the word 'Chicken'! Why are you teaching them 'Du Di'?"
The teacher was deeply embarrassed but quickly made up an excuse to cover up his mistake. He said: "I know it is 'Chicken', but I wanted to teach them the lineage. 'Du Di' is the mother, 'Chicken' is the child. I am teaching them the three generations of chickens to expand their minds!"
Giau Dot (Hiding Ignorance): This story mocks people who are ignorant but refuse to admit it. Instead of learning, they use "clever" tricks to cover up their lack of knowledge.
Superstition (Mê tín): The teacher relied on a coin toss (chance) rather than studying books, criticizing blind faith in superstition over education.
Giấu Dốt: Câu chuyện chế giễu những kẻ dốt nát nhưng không chịu thừa nhận. Thay vì học hỏi, họ dùng những mánh khóe "khôn vặt" để che đậy sự thiếu hiểu biết của mình.
Mê tín: Thầy đồ dựa vào việc xin đài âm dương (may rủi) thay vì tra cứu sách vở, phê phán niềm tin mù quáng vào mê tín dị đoan hơn là giáo dục.
