A true story

 

 A true story

This story is related to my childhood. As a child after finishing school, my friends and I used to play cricket almost every day. We used to do this till sunset. One day we saw that a family had come to live in the house near our playground. We saw that there were two children of our same age. They joined our school but we did not make friendship with them. So, pass the time slowly and every day they eagerly watched us play, but we never invited them join us. One day unexpectedly they came and asked for permission to join us and although I and a few others agreed to it, most of them did not like it, after that they had to go home sadly. When we questioned the majority who objected to them because it was very low-level incident, they said that ‘relations with foreigners were unnecessary’’.

After this Incident, the next day was a very rainy day and I riding with a friend by bicycle.

Unexpectedly, the bike slipped on the road and the friend’s head hit a stone and started to bleed.

I tried to take him to the hospital but no one showed up.

At that moment two children who we did not take to play came by and before I could tell them they picked up the friend and put him in a car and made sure to take him to the hospital.

The action of both of them was later appreciated by everyone and they were also recruited to play cricket. The example that can be taken from them is that no matter how people treat you, you should treat people well.
