A certain foreigner had visited Japan and now was travelling through one city to another by train.

Suddenly the train slowed down and finally made a halt in a  big station. It was nine in the morning and the foreigner after knowing the stoppage to be approx 20 minutes got down the train and was anxiously looking for fresh fruits. Going up and down and from one end to another he could not find any fruit vendor . This was annoying him and looking at his watch he murmured only 11 minutes left.

All along a young boy in his late teens was noticing the gentleman's behavior. Finally the boy approached and politely asked the gentleman" Good Sir what fruits would you like to have" The man answered any fresh fruits, "Okay" said the boy, "Please wait and I will be back within five minutes" He ran fast avoiding the crowd in all ziz zag, sometimes just an inch left to collide with the other passengers and also to hurriedly turning his face to all raised eyebrows who were wondering as to what the boy is up to.

 "He said to himself, I must buy the fruits and hand it over soon to the gentleman before the train leaves.

At last he came panting back carrying a medium size basket full of fresh fruits and handed over to the surprised gentleman. "Sir I ran and bought them from outside the platform" "Thankyou" said the gentleman and was half his way to climb the stairs to go in, when the boy again called him"Sir, I have something to say", he added, "Please do not tell when you go back to your country or to anyone that whilst travelling in Japan and when the train halted in a big station, you could not find fruits to buy for yourself" He further added if anyone says anything against my country, We, I feel very bad"

the signals were down and time for the train to move, when the boy said aloud, we will try and make up our mistake and next time when you or anyone halts in any station "Fruits will be Available"

Good bye said the man, I will keep things to myself but if my fellow passengers write, then I cannot say anything but one good feeling which we, specially, I had "Bravo" how many people feel for their country, how many people keep the morals high. The gentleman futher said, "One day you shall become a big man, true in qualities, and will head people, you will Lead"

The train had picked up speed and the gentleman bid buy----------
