The Two Falls of Mr. Ghambashidze (Should we be expecting more?)

Some teachers leave behind a legacy of wisdom. Others – a trail of unforgettable moments. History teacher, Mr. Levan Ghambashidze, however, has managed to do both.

Levan Ghambashidze falls into a barrel with a lit fire (The First Fall)

His first legendary tumble took place on the annual Christmas village, in the fire barrel, where, in a moment that defied both gravity and luck, his pants briefly caught flame. The spectacle was tragic in theory, comedic in memory, and legendary in its nature.

Yet, as if destiny had a sense of humor, a second act followed, but this time on the slippery, freshly wiped ground. A swift descent, a moment of stunned silence, and then, as always, Mr. Ghambashidze rose with calm dignity, brushing off the faux pas with nonchalance.

“I feel fantastic,” he said. “I’m always glad to set an example for my students. In this case, I'm a living demonstration of the dangers of running on wet floors.”

Two falls, one man, and a composure that could only be described as the Ghambashidzean resilience.

Now, the people are wondering, should we be expecting more falls in the near future, or does destiny have different plans…?
