 Express in your own words.

🌟 What is more important: Intelligence or Strength?

Both intelligence and strength are important, but in many situations, intelligence often proves to be more valuable.

🔑 Why Intelligence Often Wins:

• Helps find creative solutions.
• Avoids conflicts and fights.
• Builds strategies to turn situations in your favour.
• It is useful in both real life and learning.

Is it better to be clever or strong? Give a reason.

💭 Consider this:

In "The Tug of War," the rabbit was significantly smaller and weaker than the rhino and the hippo. Yet, he was able to outsmart both of them using his clever thinking. This shows that:

Strength can help in physical tasks.

But intelligence helps you think, plan, solve problems, and sometimes even win without a fight.

“Strength might win battles, but intelligence wins wars.”
