A tete-a tete between a young boatman and an engineer crossing a river illustrates the important of good Human Relations in Life.

As the journey progressed:

Engineer: Can you speak English?

Boatman: No Sir

Engineer: Can you read or write in English?

Boatman: No Sir

Engineer: Do you know Bible?

Boatman: No Sir

Engineer: You have lost half of your life (irritated)

Little later, water started gushing into the boat through a small leak,and the boat started sinking.

Boatman: Sir, Can you swim?

Engineer: No, I never learned it

Boatman: Sir, your whole life is about to be lost………....Good-bye.

Moral of the story:

Mere knowledge does not take you anywhere. One has to be practical too.

A good human relation should not hurt other’s feelings.

Otherwise you will end up like the engineer.

Let us all learn a lesson from him.
