An old man sat with his twenty-something son in a train. As the train started to pull out of the station, the young man became quite excited. As the train got under way and picked up velocity, sitting by the window, the young guy put out one hand, felt the passing air, and exclaimed,
"Papa, see all the trees going rapidly past us?"
The old man just smiled.
Across the aisle sat a man and a woman, who listened and watched irritatedly as the son commented at everything he saw.
"Papa, look at the pond … look at the cows … Papa look at this. . .Papa look at that ..."
Soon it started to rain and raindrops hit the young man's arm and hand. The son commented, "Papa it's raining, and water drops are on my arm. See them?"
With the couple unable to contain their irritation any longer, the wife quipped audibly for others to hear, "That fellow needs to see a doctor and get proper counseling and treatment. He acts inappropriately for his age and size."
The old man politely turned to the couple and said, "Please pardon us, if we have disturbed you. You see, we just came from the hospital where my son had surgery, and he got his eyesight for the very first time in his life."
MORAL TO THE STORY: Judge not, especially if you do not know the facts.
