Musa, the bane of his parents' existence, was a student perpetually stuck in academic purgatory. Nicknamed "Father of fools" by his peers, his grades were a testament to his struggles: 2% in Math, 5% in English, a measly 1% in Social Sciences, and a soul-crushing 0% in Science (at a private school, no less!).

Seeking a miracle, Musa's parents enrolled him in a government school. Alas, the change of scenery offered no improvement – his scores plummeted further. Disheartened but determined, they made a final, desperate gamble: a Christian school, despite their own non-religious beliefs.

The results were nothing short of astonishing. Musa, once a perennial underachiever, blossomed into a star student. His grades soared – 90% in Math, 93% in English, 95% in Science, and a respectable 89% in Social Sciences. His bewildered parents demanded an explanation.

Musa, with wide eyes, pointed to the crucifixes adorning the school walls. "Every time I saw a man nailed to a cross," he confessed, "I knew these teachers weren't playing around. They'd nail me too if I failed!"

(The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, some might say.)
