THERE LIVED A YOUNG BOY WHO SELLS FLOWER ON THE EXPRESSWAY, ONE DAY, AN OLD MAN STOPPED HIM AND ASKED. "WHY DO U CHOOSE TO MAKE YOUR SALES ON SUCH A BUSY AND DANGEROUS ROAD?" HE ANSWERED AND " MY FAMILY IS POOR, AND I DO THIS TO HELP OUT IN OUR HOME". THE OLD MAN RESPONDED " BOY YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING IN THE WRONG WAY, DO YOU KNOW YOU COULD GET KNOCKED DOWN BY A VEHICLE, WHICH CAN MOST LIKELY KILL U?. THE BOY RESPONDED "SIR I DO THIS TO EARN A LITTLE SO I CAN GO BACK TO SCHOOL. THE OLD MAN ANSWERED " YOU MEAN YOU RISK YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF EDUCATION, THIS IS MORE LIKE DOING THE RIGHT THING IN THE WRONG MANNER BECAUSE YOU COULD BE KILLED BY A MOVING VEHICLE ON THIS BUSY ROAD. DO YOU KNOW MANY UNEDUCATED GREAT MEN? EDUCATION IS NOT THE KEY TO SUCCESS, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THE BOY WENT INTO DEEP THINKING OVER THE OLD MAN'S WORDS AND PROMISED HIMSELF NEVER TO SELL FLOWERS AGAIN. MANY YEARS LATER, THE BOY BECAME POORER THAN HE WAS WITHOUT ANY INCOME FOR HIMSELF, AND WAS BEGGING FOR AN ARM, HE SAW AN OLD MAN AND PLEADED HE GIVES HIM SOMETHING, AND THE OLD MAN ASKED HIM WHY DIDN'T STUDY. "HE ANSWERED THAT HIS FAMILY IS POOR AND COULDN'T TRAIN HIM IN SCHOOL". THE OLD MAN ANSWERED HIM "DO NOT BLAME YOUR PARENTS FOR YOUR MISFORTUNE, FOR SO MANY KIDS RISK THEIR LIFE TO SAVE UP MONEY TO STUDY, HE WENT FURTHER TO TELL HIM IT WAS HIS FAULT". THE BOY FELT SO BAD BECAUSE OF WHAT THE OLD MAN TOLD HIM, AND WORSE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME OLD MAN WHO TOLD HIM EDUCATION IS NOT WORTH RISKING ONES LIFE FOR. THE BOY WEEPS AND REALISES IN LIFE YOU DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE'S CONSUMETHE YOU, SAME PEOPLE WHO CONDEMN YOUR ACTIONS ARE STILL THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WILL BLAME YOU FOR NOT CHASING YOUR DROF TOO
