Story 4: The shoe story

Question : If u are catching a train and while running to get on the train, one of your shoes slipped off and fell onto the tracks, what will u do? To continue boarding the train or to pick up the shoe lst.

Answer: Remove the other shoe and threw into the tracks toward where the lst one landed.

Why: This is what Gandhi did in one of the incident on one of his tours. When asked why he did that, he replied," At least now if a poor person find the shoe lying on the track, he will end up with a good pair of shoes he can use." He believed such selfless actions was he able to truly live as a human being.
