Instruction, Acceptable
People receive instruction gladly when it is presented attractively, like a golden apple in a silver rind.
Nathan, a prophet and teacher in Salem, sat among his disciples; and words of wisdom flowed from his lips. Then asked Gamaliel, "Master, how is it that we love so well to receive thy instructions and to listen to the words of thy mouth?" The modest teacher smiled, and said, "Is not my name, interpreted, 'to give'? Man receives with pleasure, if you know how to give." — "What dost thou give?" asked Hillel. And Nathan answered, "I offer you a golden apple in a silver rind: you receive the rind; but you find the apple." Krummacher.
