Sometime we played tricks on ppl but pls read this and decide
what type of trick you wish to play...
A young man, a student in one of
our universities, was one day taking a walk with a professor, who
was commonly called the students' friend, from his kindness to
those who waited on his instructions.
As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes,
which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a
field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work.
The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a
trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those
bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find
them."
"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse
ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may
give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of the poor man. Put
a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch
how the discovery affects him."
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the
bushes close by.
The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to
the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his
coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling
something hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the
coin.
Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed
upon the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again.
He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be
seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and proceeded to put on
the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other
coin.
His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to
heaven and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving, in which he spoke
of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread,
whom the timely bounty, from some unknown hand, would save from
perishing.
The student stood there deeply affected, and his eyes filled with
tears. "Now," said the professor, "are you not much better pleased
than if you had played your intended trick?"
The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never
forget. I feel now the truth of those words, which I never
understood before: 'It is more blessed to give than to
receive."
