Description

In a classroom are several "children" with books on the floor and get one of them the master with the roe. Right, a donkey in a niche, reading by the light of a burning candle. As goes the donkey to school, he is still a donkey and will never turn into a horse, as the saying goes. Its scope is that someone who has no qualities, it will never get far. Nil invita Minerva is the Latin Proverb. After original drawing by Bruegel in 1556
