#3 Introduction
Now this is a story that you don't get to read often. But when you do, it feels really good. So here it goes...
A teacher was tutoring a class of students when she relayed a story about a cruise ship capsized while at sea, and on the ship was a couple that managed to make their way to a lifeboat but realized there was only space for one. You'll never guess what lesson they learned from the story. A cruise ship met with an incident at sea. On the ship was a couple, after having made their way to the lifeboat, they realized that there was only space for one person left. At this moment, the man pushed the woman behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself. But the reason for doing this will definitely shock you. Take a look...
#2 The Reason
The lady stood on the sinking ship and shouted one sentence to her husband. The teacher stopped and asked, "What do you think she shouted?" Most of the students excitedly answered, "I hate you! I was blind!"Now, the teacher noticed a boy who was silent throughout, she got him to answer and he replied....
#1 The Reply
So the boy replied, "Teacher, I believe she would have shouted - Take care of our child!" The teacher was surprised, asking "Have you heard this story before?" The boy shook his head, "Nope, but that was what my mom told my dad before she died to disease". The teacher lamented, "The answer is right". The cruise ship sunk. The man went home and brought up their daughter single-handedly. Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter found his diary while tidying his belongings.
What she read in it is heart breaking. It turns out that when parents went onto the cruise ship, the mother was already diagnosed with a terminal illness. At the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival. He had to take a very tough decision at that time.
He wrote in his diary, "How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you, but for the sake of our daughter, I can only let you lie forever below the sea alone". Everyone in the class were wet eyed.
