บท 237: South Vinegar

"Professor, Sam here was claiming that there was something wrong about the soup," The girl beside Sam explained politely "It didn't suit her taste and Miss Adeline of course was hurt because she was the one who put up this event"

The professor turned to look at Sam and the first thing he noticed was her green eyes which, despite the commotion, were as calm as a lake water that cannot be stirred. She was young but her composure and the way she brought herself tonight was displaying a perfect aura of cleverness.

"Sam, you know it is impolite to criticize someone's effort," The professor spoke to Sam gently. He was not taking sides but it was natural for him to talk through Sam's mishap first.

"Professor I'd rather throw and open criticism than to give a lie of praise," Sam reasoned "Besides my grandmother told me, it's impolite to lie about someone's work. For how would they learn if people keep praising them?"
