A Lesson From The Umbrellas

Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

The College Annual Day was a fortnight away.
Students of different religions had different views.

The Principal wanted each student to participate in some way.
There was a notice asking every student to lend her/his umbrella for the decoration.
Attendance was compulsory. Students were to collect their umbrellas after the celebration.

The Annual Day presented a colourful picture with umbrellas of different colours in neat rows above.

Seeing the sunlight and interesting sight and the cool shade and multi-coloured light, the Principal addressed, "Together we look bright and attractive just like our umbrellas. Let’s accept, tolerate and coexist harmoniously..."
