It was a usual, hot summer day with people looking for something cool on the train. The train was on its way from Nagpur to Delhi. The journey between both the places had been difficult since the very start due to the hot weather. The train stopped for a little break at one stop, where something strange happened. It was a Saturday afternoon, and a man was wearing a dark leather jacket with high-heeled boots and a black hat. There was something strange about his hat; it didn't look like an ordinary hat. The man came in, stood at the door for 2 minutes, looked right and left, and as the train was about to start, he threw his hat on the train and jumped off it.
The hat had a bomb.
After minutes of panic that felt like hours, the bomb was diffused by the officials. It turns out that the man was on alert and was being followed by police.
Thousands of people were saved that day because a man, who had been observing him for some time, found it suspicious and informed the officials about the whereabouts of this man on time.
Questions and Answers
What is the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is that you should always keep your reflexes open and stay on alert at all times because any danger might come your way. Also, contact the railway officials immediately if you see something strange or disturbing.
How should we act if we see a strange man on the train?
We should act smart and on alert if we see something or someone that is not normal. If you see someone who is dressed up strange or is acting suspicious, you should immediately share the description of the person with the officials, and they will take the needed action on time.
How do we recognise a strange person?
Sometimes we are not able to recognise a person if he/she is strange. But there are some characteristics of a person that make them different from normal people we know and have around us. So, if you see someone dressed up uncommonly or doing something that a normal person wouldn't do, you should alert the officials and describe what you see.
