Story

Gandhi was not very smart when he was a child. From primary school to middle school, his grades were not very good. But he is not naughty at all, he is an honest and shy child.

One day, an inspector went to Gandhi’s school to test the students’ English proficiency. He asked the students to dictate five English words. Gandhi got four of them correct, but he couldn't spell the word "teapot." While Gandhi was frowning and thinking hard, the teacher happened to walk next to him. The teacher gently touched the foot of his chair with his toe, suggesting that he should take a peek at the papers of the classmates next to him, but Gandhi continued to lower his head and think, unwilling to look at other people's answers.

As a result, everyone got full marks, except Gandhi who got 80%. After the inspector left, the teacher called Gandhi in front of him and said, "Silly boy, what does it matter if you cheat once in a while? If you can also get full marks, we can be praised."

But Gandhi insisted that what he did was right and that plagiarism was wrong. However, the teacher made him cheat, which made him feel very sad.

Get a pair of good shoes

One day, Gandhi was riding a train and accidentally dropped one of his shoes on the tracks. At this time, the train had already rumbled into motion, and it was impossible for him to get off the train and pick up the shoe.

The people nearby felt sorry for Gandhi when they saw that he was without a shoe. Suddenly, Gandhi bent down, took off his other shoe, and threw it out of the window. A passenger next to him saw his strange behavior and asked: "Sir, why are you doing this?"

Gandhi smiled and said kindly: "In this case, I picked up the shoes. The poor people have a pair of intact shoes to wear.”

Being kicked out of the first class cabin

After Gandhi studied in England, he went to South Africa to become a lawyer. Once, while traveling for business, he got a first-class train ticket.

When Gandhi was dragging his luggage to get on the train, a white staff member saw that he was a person of color and threw his luggage on the platform. It turns out that in South Africa, a British colony, racial discrimination was so serious that people of color could not fly first class.

That night, Gandhi froze all night on the platform. He couldn't understand, everyone's status should be equal, why would he be discriminated against? Therefore, he went to various government departments in South Africa to complain, and also received support from public opinion. In the end he won the fight.

(1869-1948), known as the "Mahatma" and "Father of the Nation" in India, led India's "non-violent non-cooperation movement". He dedicated his life to the country and the nation, and truly "worried about the world's worries first, and rejoiced after the world's happiness." In 1948, he was stabbed to death by Hindu extreme right elements during a sectarian dispute.

Be a promising person

Gandhi often did some sneaky things when he was a child: smoking secretly, stealing money from his parents, eating mutton in restaurants... Once, he asked The elder brother borrowed money to go out to eat and drink. In order to repay the money, he stole the gold from his gold bracelet and sold it. My father was very sad when he found out about this. He was overworked and fell ill.

My father lay in bed, expecting Gandhi to come and admit his mistake every day, but he never came. Gandhi planned to write down all his sins on a piece of paper and prepare to accept the punishment from his father. However, it was too late. His father's illness became more and more serious and he passed away soon. He left only a piece of paper to Gandhi, which read: An honest and self-reliant person is a promising person. After reading this note, Gandhi burst into tears, and a powerful voice sounded in his heart: Father, I will never let you down again!

400 million sweaters

One day in the cold winter, when his wife saw Gandhi wearing very thin clothes, she said very sadly: "It's so cold, why don't you wear a sweater?" "

Gandhi smiled and said: "I don't have a sweater, and I don't have money to buy a sweater!"

My wife was a little confused: "Where is the sweater I knitted for you? ?”

Gandhi said embarrassedly: “I saw an old man begging on the street this morning, so I took off my sweater and gave him the money to buy food.”

< p>The wife said helplessly: "It's like this again! Then I'll knit another one for you!"

"I'm not the only one in our family who doesn't have anything to wear. How can one piece be enough?" Gandhi said hurriedly.

"How many do you want?" the wife asked doubtfully.

Gandhi said seriously: "We have 400 million brothers and sisters in our family. I will only wear sweaters if they all have them. Can you knit a few more for them?"

My wife was happy when she heard this. She knew that the "400 million brothers and sisters" he mentioned referred to the working people across India. The wife said humorously: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll try to knit as many as possible!"
