Pair of Old Shoes
A young man, a student in one of the universities, was one day taking a walk
with a professor, who was commonly called the students' friend for 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 were
supposed to belong to a poor man who was working in a field close by, and who
had nearly finished his day's work . . .
Student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick:
We will hide his shoes, and hide 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 this poor man.
Put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how this
affects him.." Visit: 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 around 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 this 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 these words, which I never understood before: "It's
more blessed to give than to receive."
If you want happiness... .For a lifetime - help someone.
