Ghandi
Shoes
As Gandhi stepped aboard a train one day, one of his shoes
slipped off and landed on the track. He was unable to retrieve it
as the train was moving. To the amazement of his companions,
Gandhi calmly took off his other shoe and threw it back along the
track to land close to the first. Asked by a fellow passenger why
he did so, Gandhi smiled. "The poor man who finds the shoes lying
on the track," he replied, "will now have a pair he can use."
