Train Ride
An old man was sitting with his twenty-five-year-old son on a train. The train was about to leave the station. All of the passengers were settling down into their seats for the journey. As the train started, the young man was filled with joy and curiosity. He was sitting at the window seat. He put out one hand and felt the passing air. He shouted, “Papa, see all the trees are going behind.” The old man smiled and admired his son’s feelings. Beside the young man, one couple was sitting and listing to the conversion between the father and son. They were a little awkward with the attitude of a twenty-five-year-old man behaving like a small child. Suddenly the young man again shouted, “Papa, see the pond and animals. The clouds are moving with the train.” The couple was watching the young man in embarrassment. Then it started raining and some of the water drops touched the young man’s hand. He was filled with joy and he closed the eyes. He shouted again, “Papa, it’s raining, water is touching me, see Papa.” The couple could not help themselves and asked the old man, “Why don’t you visit a doctor and get treatment for your son?” The old man said, “Yes, we are coming from the hospital, and only today did my son get his eyesight, for the first time in his life.”
The moral of the story is: We ought to refrain from drawing conclusions until the facts are known.
