I wish to thank M/s Netha Hussain, a very good friend, whose constant inspiration has led me to bring you this story. I am not good in stories. But my wife is. This story which you are going to read is not my creation. The copyright is for my wife, Mrs. Soli Somanath. She was trying to teach our two sons lessons of sharing...I just happened to be beside them when she was narrating it and felt quiet interesting. Any credits should go to her and any shortcomings to me as I take full responsibility for you not liking the story. But if it is good its Soli's story.....
THE STORY OF TWO AEROPLANES
Once upon a time, in an airport in Kochi there were two aeroplanes. One was the Red aeroplane and the other was Blue. Both were very cute planes and used to take passengers daily from Kochi to Dubai. They were very good friends and were very happy in their work.
One day the Blue aeroplane had a lot of passengers and felt really exhausted. He asked the Red aeroplane " Please can you help me, please carry a few passengers of mine with you". But the Red one was very stubborn. He said " No way, why should I? Its your passengers . Why should I bother". He didn't help the poor Blue aeroplane. The Blue aeroplane became really sad. He cried a lot. He decided to take all the passengers and took off to the sky.
As he reached half way, he felt something was wrong with him. The blue plane had no energy left to carry on any longer. He tried his level best but couldn't attain the required heights. So he decided to fly back. The passengers were really angry with him. They teased him and told that he is not good for a plane. The passengers decided they will never use the Blue plane and would only use the Red plane. The Blue plane was cancelled from the flying list and he was kept on ground.
The Red plane was the only other plane left. So now all passengers opted for Red plane. Red plane was horrified as he saw the number of passengers he had to carry. He understood his mistake and ran to his friend the Blue plane. "Sorry Blue plane, I fully understand my mistake. I should have shared work with you. Please forgive me and come back. We will both work together and live happily." The Blue plane was happy. He kissed the Red plane and agreed to help him. Both of them carried a lot of passengers together. All passengers also praised both the aeroplanes for their good service. They all lived happily thereafter....
