He smiled at her as walked her to the car and carried her case into the trunk of the cab. As they settled into drive he asked her where she wanted to go… After giving him the address she asked…Can we drive through downtown to get there? It’ll be longer...he said. The woman smiled….I don’t mind, I’m going to the hospice tonight. The cab driver looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening….I don't have any family left….she continued.

The Magic Shirt :
A great king said to his son. “Son! I am not well. Go and bring a good doctor."
The king was not really well. But he said, “I am sick. I am sick."
He was lazy. So he fell sick.
A great doctor came. He examined the king.
He said, “You are not sick. You are well and strong."
The king was angry. “I do not believe you. You are a fool." The king cut off the doctor’s head.
Another doctor came. He said, “Oh King! Sleep one night in the shirt of a man who is happy. You will be happy and well."
The king called his servants. He said to them, “Go and get me a shirt of a happy man."
The servants went in search of a happy man. They saw some rich people. The rich people said, “We are NOT happy. We are poor."
The poort people said, “We poor men are always unhappy. So our shirts will not be useful to your king."
The servants went to a begger. He was laughing and singing. He was rolling on the grass. The servants said to him. “You are a happy man. Give us your shirt. We will take it to the king."
The begger said, “I have no shirt at all."
The servants told this story to the king. He learnt a lesson. He went out of his palace. He worked hard. He was happy. The people were also happy.
Moral
A dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.
Work hard and achieve lot.
