TRAGEDY...... Goa's Education Minister (Babush) was visiting a school. He enters in Std: IV class room and asks: Babush: Students, could anyone give me an example of a "TRAGEDY".
A little boy (Ghafoor) stands up and offers: Ghafoor: If my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street when a car came along and killed him, that would be a TRAGEDY. Babush: No, that would be an ACCIDENT. A girl (Rashmi) raises her hand: Babush: Yes... Rashmi: If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off cliff, killing everyone involved ... that would be a TRAGEDY. Babush: I m afraid not, that is what we would call a GREAT LOSS. The whole class room was silent; none of the other children volunteer. Babush: So......What ? Isn't there anyone who can give an example of a TRAGEDY? Finally a boy (Micky) in the back raises his hand: Micky: (In a timid voice) If an airplane carrying Educational Minister Babush and Ex. Chief Minister Parrikar were blown up by a bomb, THAT would be a "TRAGEDY". Babush: (Beams) Wonderful!...... Marvelous! And can you tell me WHY that would be a TRAGEDY? Micky: Well, because it wouldn't be an ACCIDENT and it certainly wouldn't be a GREAT LOSS! Cajetan de Sanvordem Kuwait.
