A Man with a Lamp
Once upon a time,
there was a small town.
There lived a man by himself who couldn’t see.
He was blind.
Yet,
he carried a lighted lamp with him whenever he went out at night.
One night as he was coming home after having a dinner outside,
he came across a group of young travellers.
They saw that he was blind,
yet carrying a lighted lamp.
They started passing comments on him and made a fun of him.
One of them asked him,
“Hey Man! You are blind and can’t see anything! Why do you carry the lamp then?!”
The blind man replied,
“Yes, unfortunately,
I am blind and I can’t see anything but a lighted lamp which I am carrying is for the people like you who can see.
You may not see the blind man coming and end up pushing me.
That is why I carry a lighted lamp”.
The group of travellers felt ashamed and apologized for their behaviour.
Moral:
We should think before judging others.
Always be polite and learn to see things from others point of view.
