The Rainy Day

It was pouring.

And a 10-year-old girl with a bag full of old books and a rusty umbrella faced a big dilemma.

She walked this route every day to her school, 6 kilometres away from her home. But her school seemed much farther today because of the monsoon rains and the enormous mud puddle that blocked her way.

She had two options ...

The choice she made may not have significantly changed the outcome.

But it has changed forever how I see life.
