Command UNO! - Prax

This happened during the age of steam engines to diesel engines. A rich man and a poor old lady lived in either side of a railway track. The poor old lady used to pick up small wooden pieces (used to power the steam engine) that spill out as the train pass by. This made up for her costs on firewood. Days changed. Steam engines out – Diesel engines in. She was not aware of the change. But surprisingly the lady continued picking woods beside the track.

A neighbor was watching this and found out why the rich man continued throwing wooden pieces from his backyard after the train passed by. He felt the meaning of the Prime Commandment.

You meant "Love your neighbour as you Love yourself". Was this the story in the sermon yesterday ??. Just Kidding, a nice thought-VJ

There could be many reasons, why he did like that 1) He didn't want the old lady to know that he was helping her i.e (helping silently without showing-off) 2) If the old lady was a proud person, she would not have accepted the help 3) The funny one, he was a doctor, so he wanted the old lady to get some exercise daily, so "One stone Two birds"-VJ
