A Grain Of Sand
There's this story of a cheerful boy who went about an exciting journey called LIFE. He was optimistic, with a wicked sense of humor and laughs his childlike laughter, which cheers up everyone around him unknowingly.
Along his way he met many new friends and life has just began it's wonderful journey, but alas! one wrong step and his leg got into a sand pit and he stumbled.
A Grain of Sand got into his shoe, but he thought it's ok. His friends picked him up, and he walked and walked..and walked for a long time
but it was different. He was no longer as cheerful, and his laughter hides a tinge of sadness. People who cared for him told him to stop walking, take off his shoes to remove that grain of sand. A few occasions he looked like he wanted to do it, but he didnt.
Soon, it looks as though his foot grew callous. He walked on and one, as if that grain of sand wasnt there at all. His friends wonder if it's his foot grew callous, or is it his heart....
What is that grain of sand in your life, eroding you bit by bit unknowingly? Sometimes you can't just pretend that the grain of sand is not there...
