A 9-yr-old boy wets his pants at school. He
became so ashamed that he will be booed and
humiliated by the boys and the girls in school
too.
The boy became so worried that he puts his
head down and prays this prayer, “Dear God,
this is an emergency! I need help now! Five
minutes from now I’m dead meat.” He looks
up from his prayer and here comes the teacher
with a look in her eyes that says he has been
discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him, a
classmate named Susie is carrying a bowl that
is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the
teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of
water in the boy’s lap. The boy pretends to be
angry, but all the while is saying to himself,
“Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!”
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the
object of ridicule, the boy is the object of
sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs
and gives him gym shorts to put on while his
pants dry out. All the other children are on
their hands and knees cleaning up around his
desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life
would have it, the ridicule that should have
been his has been transferred to someone else
– Susie. She tries to help, but they tell her to
get out. “You’ve done enough, you clumsy
girl!”
Finally, at the end of the day, as they are
waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie
and whispers, “You did that on purpose, didn’t
you?” Susie whispers back, “I wet my pants
once too.”
Moral: All of us go through all good and bad
things in life. We should always remember how
we felt when we were in same condition and
should not mock others for being in it. Always
try to understand their situation as if you are
in it and help much as possible praying to god
that today you are in a condition to help
someone who needs it.
