It was a sports stadium. Eight Children were standing on the track to  participate in the running event.

* Ready!
* Steady!
* Bang!!!

With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls  started running.  Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps, one of the  smaller girls slipped and fell down, due to bruises
and pain she started  crying.

When other seven girls heard this sound, stopped  running, stood  for a while and turned back, they all ran back to  the place where the  girl fell down. One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl  gently  and enquired 'Now pain must have reduced'.All seven  girls lifted  the fallen girl, pacified her,two of them held the girl firmly and they
 all seven joined hands together and walked together  and reached  the winning post.

Officials were shocked.

Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the
stadium.

Many eyes we re filled with tears and perhaps it
 had reached the
 GOD even!

This happened in Hyderabad ( The city I am living in now ), recently !

The sport was conducted by! National Institute of Mental Health. All these special girls had come to participate in this event  and they are spastic children. Yes, they were mentally retarded.

What did they teach this world?
Teamwork?
 Humanity?
 Equality among all?
 . . . . . . . . ????

Successful people help others who are slow in  learning so that they are not left far behind.

What you have told us is really moving, Munna. Many of us are not mentally challenged yet we do very little to make this world a better place. Our societies are getting more competitive and selfish and we are progressively forget about ethics, relationships, and several other values.
