reasons.
One day, a man in his fifties came to seek the mayors help. He was suffering from some kind of physical defect. He
could not sit. He simply stood there in front of the mayor. As he was talking in a halting manner, his hands and head
were shaking. His eyes were blinking faster than normal. All these were seen by Leo.
As soon as the visitor left, Leo asked his father what the man wanted. As he talked, Leo was mimicking the visitor
amusingly- the manner of speaking, the way his body shook, and the blinking of the eyes. When the mayor saw what Leo
was doing, he scolded the boy.
Leo, the sick man has already been suffering badly. It becomes worse if other people make fun of him as you did
moments ago. Be thankful, son, that you are not sick, his father said.
Shamefully and remorsefully, Leo answered, Im sorry Father. I promise never to do that again.
