Answer:
Sita was a ten year old girl who went to school by bicycle everyday. She was a kindhearted young girl always willing to help people. She was very good at studies and always followed her teacher’s advice that one must always lend a helping hand to those in trouble.
One morning, as she was on her way to school, she saw a blind man trying to cross the road in the midst of busy traffic. There was no one to help him and he was in danger of getting hurt by the speeding vehicles. Sita, who saw this, parked her cycle in front of a shop and requested the shop owner to look after her cycle, telling him that she was going to help the blind man. Sita ran across to the blind man, took hold of his white cane and told him to walk with her. She waved her hand at all the vehicles, signaling them to stop.
All the vehicles stopped and gave way for them to get across. The drivers were touched by the helping move of a small girl who did this small help. The blind man thanked Sita profusely and wished her good luck. Sita’s class teacher who was passing by saw this and felt very proud of her student. Sita’s gesture towards the blind man clearly showed her good intention to help others who were in need.
That day the teacher told the whole class of Sita’s helping tendency and asked them to applaud her. She also told the other students that they should follow Sita in converting what they learn into action. Sita was very pleased that she could at least do this small help for a handicapped person. After that Sita became famous among the school-students and she was awarded in the school function for her humanitarian gesture.
Answer:
Actions speak louder than words
It was another cold winter day. The chilly wind is blowing and the snow falling. A poor, homeless, hungry and thirsty man goes to a rich man. He tells the rich man that he is hungry and has not eaten for three days. The rich man came out to see who is at his door. Seeing the poor man in tattered clothes, he gets angry. He yells angrily about beggars constantly harassing him. He scolds the poor hungry for disturbing him. He calls the hungry man a lazy man who is unwilling to work and earn a livelihood. He tells the hungry and thirsty man to go away somewhere else and find something to eat. He goes inside, slamming the door shut.
The poor man slowly walks away thinking about what has happened in his life. He tells himself, "If not for this terminal cancer, I could find a job. I don't like to beg because it is humiliating. It's my unlucky fate that both my wife and son were killed in a road accident six months ago. Even with this cancer, my life was good when they were alive. I misses them so much."
The rich man did not help the poor man in any manner. He did not give the hungry man anything to eat or drink. He also sent him away without telling him where to find food. He didn't know the circumstances in the life of the hungry man.
Actions of people are more significant than what they say. The expression "Actions speak louder than words" teaches us it is better to do positive things rather than talking about them. It is only by our actual good works that can change the life of a person in a positive way and make the world a better place to live in.
