Even a Stone Can Be a Teacher
BoingBoing has a great little story on how a kid saved his sister and himself from a moose attack using skills he picked up from a game:
In the article he describes how he first yelled at the moose, distracting it so his sister got away, then when he got attacked and the animal stood over him he feigned death. “Just like you learn at level 30 in World of Warcraft.”
What a great example of learning through metaphor.
