wall and water was dripping from
there. He put his small finger inside, and dripping
of water stopped. After ten minutes, he saw that if
he removed his finger, water would come with a greater
force. Then two fingers became necessary to stop the
flow.
Gradually, the whole palm was
required. It became dark and cold, even then he did
not move from his position. He shouted for help, but
no one heard him. He put on a brave front and continued
sitting there throughout the night.Han's parents at
home got worried and tried in vain to search him.
He was sitting there, wet and cold, but with a determination
in his mind to save his beloved country from a disaster.
Imagine what would have happened if the crack had
widened, and water had started gushing in. The town
and country would be wiped out ! This thought haunted
him and prevented him from moving. The next day early
moring a policeman found a bundle near the wall. It
was none else than Hans who was wet, cold and numb
all over, preventing the crack from widening.
The following day, Hans was on the front page of
newspapers. Yet that did not affect him. He was happy
that he had done his duty, and saved the country.All
of us probably have more power than Hans. However
we do not utilise it or channelise it properly. From
now on we can do it. This way, our power will go on
increasing.
A small child by taking responsibility can save a
nation. |
