A Touching True Story
It was a Sports Stadium. Eight Children were standing on the track to
participate in a running event. * Ready! * Steady! * Bang!!!
With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls started running. Hardly
had they covered ten to fifteen steps, when one of the smaller girls
slipped and fell down, Due to bruises and pain she started crying.
When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running,
stood for a while and turned back. Seeing the girl on the track they all
ran to help. One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently
and enquired as to how she was..
They then lifted the fallen girl pacifying her. Two of them held her
firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards
the winning post........ ..
There was pin drop silence at the spectator's stand. Officials were
shocked. Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in
appreciation. Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps even God's!
YES.!! This happened in Hyderabad [INDIA], recently! The event was
conducted by National Institute of Mental Health.
All these special girls had come to participate in this event. They were
spastic children. Yes, they were Mentally Challenged.
What did they teach the WORLD?
Teamwork?
Humanity?
Equality among all??
Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are
not left far behind.
