A not so nice, old man
A boy was riding a cycle with a basket of eggs on it. He hit a stone and fell down alongside the cycle. The eggs also fell and broke. A crowd gathered around the boy. As usual, free advice, funny lines and taunts started flowing from the onlookers
“Couldn’t you be more careful?”
“What were you thinking, cycling, casually without attention?”
An old man approached the crowd saw what had happened and aforesaid “Poor fellow, now, what will he answer to his Owner about the eggs. Ok, I am going to help him, as maximum amount as I can”……
saying this handed over $ 10/- to the boy. And mentioned, “These onlookers are good people, they will not only give advice, but they will help you by giving money also, accept their help”.
The onlookers observing the sayings of the old man and his actions gave money to the boy. The boy was very happy and thrilled since the money collected was over the worth of the eggs broken. One of the onlookers asked the boy
“Young man if that old man wasn’t around, I do not know what difficulties you would have faced with your owner”
The boy looked at the man and said, “Sir, He is the owner of the shop, where I work”.
Moral of the Story:
life may seem unfair but clever minds always find ways in the hardship, instead of getting frustrated.

Explanation:
When I was only seven years old, my father made the decision that it was time for me to learn how to swim. This experience took place during that time. I had a terrible fear of being in the water and especially of putting my head underwater. My dad began teaching me how to swim at a local swimming pool which was conveniently located near our home. At first, I was so shaken up that I couldn't even bring myself to get into the swimming pool. After having me wait for a while at the edge of the pool until I was more at ease, my dad finally encouraged me to take baby steps into the water and I did so gradually and methodically. I spent about a year learning how to swim properly, but as soon as I did, I was unbeatable in the water. Because I found swimming to be very enjoyable and could keep doing it for long periods of time without getting bored, my dad had to cajole me into leaving the pool. I felt so much happiness whenever I was in the swimming pool that I would grin from ear to ear the entire time I was there.
