A heart touching story
It was a sports stadium. Eight Children were standing on the
track to participate in the running event.
* Ready! * Steady! * Bang!!!
With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls started running.
Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps, one of the
smaller girls slipped and fell down, due to bruises and
pain she started crying. When other seven girls heard this
sound, stopped running, stood for a while and turned back,
they all ran back to the place where the girl fell down. One
among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and
enquired 'Now pain must have reduced'. All seven girls lifted
the fallen girl, pacified her, two of them held the girl firmly
and they all seven joined hands together and walked together
and reached the winning post. Officials were shocked.
Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium.
Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had reached
the GOD even! YES. This happened in Hyderabad [INDIA],
recently! The sport was conducted by National Institute of
Mental Health [NIMH]. All these special girls had come to
participate in this event and they are spastic children. Yes,
they were mentally retarded. What did they teach this world?
Teamwork! Humanity!! Equality!!! And LOVE!!!! Successful
people help others who are slow in learning so that they are
not left far behind.
