The learned man, why is he like this? - Beside him is a writing on new paper

The memory of a child who has learned something is like the letters of ink written clearly on the back of new paper. A sign that expresses the child's ability to learn and his pure mind and openness to learning new things.

("Elisha ben Abijah said: The one who teaches a child is like a writing on new paper, and the one who teaches an old man is like a writing on erased paper" - Avot 22)
