One grandmother said

So it turned out that in recent years I have lived and worked far beyond 1/6 of the land. The director of the company is a simple prince (well, it happened). In fact, in addition to the prefix to the name, this title does not give him anything (that is, he can not claim power), but the very fact of working with such a person is a small reason for praise, and at the same time a source of all sorts of curious stories. Here is one of them.

Like many other princes, our prince studied at a major Western university. He studied under a strange surname, so as not to confuse teachers and classmates, and especially not everywhere posted his belonging to the royal blood (at work, by the way, not everyone knows about his noble origin - the man is really modest, although at the same time and unreally smart). Until one moment.

They had a course in modern history, in which they were offered to write an essay on one of several proposed topics. And one of the themes concerned the activities of the grandfather of our prince (I will not name the names, but the personality is really legendary). Of course, this topic was chosen. Numerous relatives who remained on their memory of the same legendary ancestor were interviewed, family archives were involved, etc. As he said, the essay was excellent.

After a while, the ratings are announced, and our prince is surprised to find that for his essay he received a rating of "B" (four). As he himself says, there would be any other topic - not even shrinking, but here the honor of the family is affected. In short, I talked to the teacher:

Why put “B”?
Poor quality of work.
In what is it expressed? Everything seems to be as it is.
Doubts about the reliability of the material.
...??! to
- You understand, in the open sources and in our library there is no material that would confirm the truthfulness of what you have stated.If the Internet existed then it was only on military bases. I asked colleagues who were involved in the history of this region - they were also unable to confirm your version of events. So your essay is nothing more than a fantasy. There is no more than four for that.

The prince, according to him, became red, then greener. Then he exhaled and issued a long tirade, the meaning of which was reduced to the following. He respects the library of this university, and those professors who study the history of his country from the materials of this library. But the source of information in his essay was his grandmother, the granddaughter of the hero of the story, as well as his cousin, respectively, the grandson of the hero of the essay. Documents confirming the truthfulness of the stated, are stored in his family assets, and if necessary - the embassy of his country will declare a note of protest over the assessment of the actions of the "father of the nation" professors of this university.

The rating was corrected to “A+”.
