Commentaries on stories about how people work.

These commentaries focus primarily on aspects of work done by "teachers" or guides. While the stories are more inclusive, the central point is to show some of the many ways the people who really know act and deal with others. This section starts with an introduction to work in general - with an emphasis on the so-called Unseen work, and then another prelude to the actual stories and commentaries. Following those the stories will be read and commented upon. These are preceded by a talk on the use of teaching stories.
