take responsibility, they
probably will. If you
expect them not to even
try, they probably won’t.In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion was
a gifted sculptor from Cyprus. He showed no
interest in the local women. Instead, he
concentrated on his art until one day he ran
across a large, flawless piece of ivory and
decided to carve a beautiful woman from it.
When he finished the statue, The Greek MythPygmalion found the image of his ideal woman
so lovely that he fell in love with it. Then he
went to the temple of Aphrodite ( the goddess
of love, beauty and fertility ) to ask her to
bring the statue to life. When he returned, he
found the statue which he named Galatea alive
and humbled himself at her feet. At last they
got married.Pygmalion, a gifted artist, makes a

her to life.His wish is granted.DiscussionDo you think that Pygmalion and his

that he decides to teach her how to
