Although I don’t like reading or watching English books and serials , but after much effort from Jayanti , my wife, I finally bought a book called Chicken soup for the soul". I know its a very common book for readers, but the story was really very touchy and I always remember it .Its of the great basketball player Magic Johnson. He used to visit a club during his practice days .He was having a SUV which he parked in the parking area .
One fine day , he reached the club, parked his vehicle and was about to leave the area , a lady in wretched condition came to him. She was carrying a baby and she slowly moved to Johnson.
She begged for 5$ from him and said that her baby was suffering from leukemia .If he helps with such a small amount , she would be finally able to treat her child .
Johnson had heard from fellow members that there is a lady who asks for money by befooling others.
He just though for some moment, and gave 5$ to the lady and went up .
In the lobby he discussed this with one of the other members, and that member replied "Johnson you have been fooled by that lady" She always asks for money by telling some or the other stories.
Johnson moved ahead by saying "thank GOD , the child is not suffering from leukemia"
There are two aspects of this story.
Some may say he was fooled, some may not. where do we fall???
