Listening to Another

A huge truck got stuck under a bridge.It couldn't move backward or forward.Traffic was blocked in all directions.An official from the company arrived and all sorts of attempts were made to get the truck free.

A few school kids were sitting on a wall nearby,looking at all this.One little lad shouted across at the official,"Do you want to know how to get the truck free,mister?" Well,for now, I don't need your advice smart guy,said the official.

The young lad was unabashed as he replied, "Just let the air out of the tires and you're alright."

The man stopped in his tracks,looked at the kid and smiled-and then proceeded to let the air out of the tires! In his heart he felt that the kid had let some air out of him,and brought him down a bit-and he knew that he deserved it.



Moral: Often our biggest drawback, is our unwillingness to ask for help in dealing with a problem,we are stuck with.
