Conclusion - Truth

Once a old man & his 25 years old son were going in train.
The son sat next to window & started looking outwards & then shouted,"Dad look the trees going behind.."

Dad smiled...
And a young couple siting near looked at the 25 yrs old behaving childishly, with pity. 

Suddenly he again exclaimed,"Dad look the clouds running with us"

Couple couldn't resist & said 2 old man,"Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?"

Old man smiled and said, "We did and we are just coming from hospital. My son was blind from birth & just got his eyes today!"

Moral: Don't jump to a conclusion directly.. coz many times what you see, hear and feel is not the TRUTH!

Truth

When George Washington was about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which, like most little boys, he was extremely fond. He went about chopping everything that came his way.

One day, as he wandered about the garden amusing himself by hacking his mother's pea- sticks, he found a beautiful, young English cherry tree, of which his father was most proud. He tried the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and barked it so that it died.

Some time after this, his father discovered what had happened to his favorite tree. He came into the house in great anger, and demanded to know who the mischievous person was who had cut away the bark. Nobody could tell him anything about it.

Just then George, with his little hatchet, came into the room.

"George," said his father, "do you know who has killed my beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden? I would not have taken five guineas for it!

"This was a hard question to answer, and for a moment George was staggered by it, but quickly recovering himself he cried: --

"I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did cut it with my little hatchet.

"The anger died out of his father's face, and taking the boy tenderly in his arms, he said: --

"My son, that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more to me than a thousand trees! yes, though they were blossomed with silver and had leaves of the purest gold!"
