Don't forget to SMILE

A little girl walked to and from school daily.

Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school.

As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.

The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child.

Following the roar of thunder, lightning, like a flaming word, would cut through the sky.

Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school.

As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up and smile.

Another and another were to follow quickly and with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.

When the mother's car drove up beside the child, she lowered the window and called to her.

What are you doing?.....

…..Why do you keep stopping?

The child answered, "I am trying to look pretty, God keeps taking my picture"

"Face the storms that come your way and don't forget to SMILE! "

Things are new..

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all
ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and
gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As
the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled
with the scenery outside..

" See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful"

This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel
strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other
about this son."This guy seems to be a krack.." newly married Anup
whispered to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers
through the opened window. The Thirty year old son , filled with joy
" see dad, how beautiful the rain is .."

Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.

Anup ," cant you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not
feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum..and dont disturb public
henceforth"


The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are
on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning ,
he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain
and nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the
inconvenience caused..."


The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the
truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even
us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh
action.
