A quiet boy named Leo raised his hand. I do not know how to draw that, he said.

Mr. Petrov smiled and handed a large, blank sheet of paper and a box of bright colored pencils to every student.

Masha drew kindness as a giant, soft umbrella sheltering a wet puppy from a storm of blue raindrops.Kirill drew respect as two very different trees, an oak and a palm, intertwining their roots underground to share water.Sofia drew empathy as a girl with a literal window in her chest, looking into the heart of another.

The classroom buzzed with confused whispers. Ethics was about talking and writing, not drawing!
