A sweet short story

A sweet short story with a great lesson.Worth Reading!

A building construction work was going on. Lots of poor labourers were working there and their small children used to hold onto one another's shirt and play "train-train".Someone would become the engine and others would become bogies. Every day these children used to take turns becoming the engine and bogies.But there was one small boy wearing only a half pant who used to hold one small green cloth in his hand and become the guard daily.

So the person who was observing them went to him and asked him Son, don't you also wish to become an engine or a bogie some time ?

He softly replied .. Sir , I don't have a shirt to wear so how will the other children catch me to make the train?

That person could see the slight wetness in his eyes.

But he learnt a lesson on that day that the boy could have cried and sat at home and abused his parents for not affording to buy him a shirt. But instead he chose another way to play and enjoy himself.

In life, we don't get all things we desire and we keep complaining .

I dont have a bike, I don't have car , I don't have this or that etc...

Life is like that.We need to make it beautiful and be grateful for what we have.Have an attitude of gratitude.
