Panel 1: Nikolai(kid)is climbing a mountain, exhausted. Show sweat drops, a sun and moon to suggest days passed. Caption: “When you finally reach the wise teacher…” Panel 2: Nikolai reaches Leo the turtle and asks: “When is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do?” Panel 3: Leo strokes his beard slowly, like a wise old man in a movie, and says: “Good question.” Panel 4: Nikolai waits for the answer. Leo just smiles or keeps digging. Meme caption: “The best honor a teacher can give you.”
