One day I was shopping for some groceries in a department store in
Bangalore. A boy about 7/8 years was playing around with the shopping
cart. I was just checking some items and the cart just touched me while
the boy was pushing it .... I got alert and looked back ...even before I
saw the boy he instantly said "Sorry" I smiled at him and said "It's
Ok, No Problem !"
This incident doesn't end here .... few
seconds later a girl (most probably his sister) came and said "Sorry, He
is a naughty kid" ... I again smiled and said " It is fine, no problem
really" and at last his mom ( most probably ) came and again apologized.
The boy was there observing this incident.
All of them were so sweet and polite. Saying sorry to a random stranger
just because the cart touched him. A small boy had already learned to
say sorry even for some small mistake, which was really appreciable ...
In life we should also learn to say Sorry and Thank You. We should
always be appreciative of good things and instantly say sorry for our
mistake no matter how small the mistake it. If I was inside the store in
Nepal, same scenario was not possible. I am not saying that all people
in Nepal are rude but usually they are. This, I think, is the perfect
example of how child should be raised ... with moral values. Afterall
the children learn most of their behaviour from family, how they treat
each other and how they treat others ...
(Just Wanted to share this incident ..... )
Saying please is equally important too...!!!
