A class went on a field trip to a construction site. Shortly after they arrived, a worker fell from the fourth floor of a new building.

Afterward, the teacher gathered the pupils to discuss what they could learn from the accident.

"Why do you think the worker fell?"

Masha raised her hand. "Because he didn't follow workplace safety rules, miss."

"That's quite possible. Any other ideas?"

Kolya said, "Perhaps he was feeling ill."

"We can't rule that out. Vova, what do you think?"

"He fell because he shouted at me!"

"What do you mean?"

"He said, 'You little brat, stop shaking the ladder!'"

At the end of a psychology lesson, a male student at the back timidly asked, "Sir, how do we distinguish between stress, fear, and panic?"

The teacher looked at him kindly and answered calmly, "Here are three levels: stress is discovering that your wife is pregnant; fear is discovering that your girlfriend is pregnant; panic is discovering that both are pregnant at the same time."

The student nodded thoughtfully but asked another question. "Can all three emotions—stress, fear, and panic—occur at once?"

The teacher answered firmly, "Yes. When you learn that your wife and your girlfriend are both pregnant, even though you yourself are infertile!"
