Summary “Thirteenth feat of Hercules” by Iskander
Mathematician Kharlampi Diogenovich differed noticeably from his slovenly colleagues. With his appearance in the class, strict discipline was established. The lessons were so quiet that the principal could not believe that the students were in their places, and not at the stadium.

Since then, the boy has become more serious about doing homework. Reasoning, he came to the conclusion that the worst thing is that a person ceases to be afraid of being ridiculous. It can bring on him misfortune. Haughty Roman emperors did not see on time, as in fact they are ridiculous, that’s why the great empire died.
