Modesty Leads To Sublimity
by RPSaxena
The old woman with bent back going on her way said, "The pearl of my youth is lost, and I'm trying to search for it."
It was her reaction to three teenagers' sarcastically hurled question, "Hey Granny, Have you lost something? Why are you looking on the ground..?"
While jogging, I noticed all this, made the boys realize their folly. Consequently, in unison, they exhaled "SORRY."
"NO, say so to her, with due regards!"
They promptly did likewise, and I returned home thinking the veiled Moral: Life's short and the youth is even shorter. Hence, let's use it judiciously.
