A very pretty woman entered into an aircraft and started looking for her seat. She noticed that her seat is next to a person with both hands missing. She hesitated to sit next to him.
That �pretty� woman told the airhostess that she can�t sit in her assigned seat and travel comfortably sitting next to that no-arms person; and asked the airhostess to change her seat. The airhostess enquired �Ma�am may I know the reason�?
The �pretty� lady replied: �I don�t like such people. I don�t like sitting next to such people and travel�. The airhostess was shocked to hear this from this lady who in appearance looked like a well-mannered and polite person. The �pretty� lady again told the airhostess that she did not want that seat and demanded the airhostess to find her a different seat.
The airhostess asked the lady to be patient for a little bit and said she will try her best to accommodate her request; and looked around for an empty seat. She couldn�t find any.
The airhostess returned to the lady and said, �Madam! All the seats in this economy class are full. But then for the comfort of our travelers it is our policy to satisfy them to our utmost. So, I will talk to the captain and kindly be patient a bit longer�. Saying so, she went to see the captain.
After some time she returned and told the lady, �Madam! We are very sorry for the discomfort to you. In this entire aircraft, there is only one seat vacant and that is in First class. I talked to our team and we took an extraordinary decision. To send a traveler from economy class to First class is happening for the first time in our company history���.
The �pretty� lady was becoming so ecstatic and even before uttering a word�. The airhostess turned to the person with no arms and said, �Sir, May you please move to the First class? We want to eliminate the tragedy of you traveling next to a manner-less person.� Hearing this every one clapped immensely and welcomed the decision. The �pretty� lady was tremendously felt ashamed.
Then the person stood up and said, �I am a ex-serviceman and I lost my both arms in a bomb blast in Kashmir border during an operation. At first, when I heard the lady talk, I thought: did I put my life at risk for these kind of people? But after looking at their actions and your all response, I feel proud that I lost my both arms for my country.� And saying so, he walked into the First class.
The �pretty� lady drowned into the seats fully ashamed.
Beauty is not in what is seen in face and body. Beauty in a good person is in his/her lofty thoughts.
