A PRAISE CAN DO WONDERS

THAT PAPER

After a war, martyr soldiers’ bodies were sent to their homeland.

Many people had come to see a soldier’s body kept in a coffin open.

He looked relaxed, content, and proud to give away his life for a noble cause.

His friends, relatives, and many others came to pay homage for his magnificent service.

His primary school teacher too had come there. As she was one of those who came early, she was given a small piece of paper that was kept in his Wallet.

It was very old and contained some writings that were getting feeble over time.

She recollected the incident of her class, an activity she got it done in their class.

The students were asked to write one good quality of each one in their class.

The teacher then took efforts to re-write all the qualities written by each student about every individual, making sure to write who wrote that.

This was given to each student to know what quality in him classmates praise individually.

All students were happy to see 27 praises from a class of 28.

The teacher completed her activity hoping to boost the morale of each child.

Tears rolled in her eyes but out of gratification that this small piece of paper was kept with him till the end.

Another person, the soldier’s friend recognized his teacher and showed his piece of paper kept carefully in his briefcase.

A woman came closer to them and told that her husband too kept that paper very carefully and reads it whenever he feels lonely.

And the place saw many such people come with that paper, and....All 27!

That paper had bonded them forever and had become a precious gift ever from their teacher.



A PRAISE CAN DO WONDERS- ABOVE INCIDENT CONFIRMS IT.
