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 the toy pistol, all eight girls started running. Hardly had they covered 10 - 15 steps, one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down. Due to bruises and pain, she started crying.
When the other seven girls heard this sound, they stopped running, stood for a while, and turned back. They all ran back to the place where the girl fell down.
One amongst 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 all seven of them 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 even reached GOD!!
YES, this happened in Hyderabad recently. The sports meet was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health. All these special girls had come to participate in this event and they were 'spastic' girls. Yes, they were 'Mentally Challenged' as the world knows them.
What did they teach this world??
Teamwork?
Humanity?
Equality among all?
Successful people help those others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind...
We can't do this ever..... because WE HAVE BRAINS!!!!!!!!!
