It was the closing day of the sports week in that school. As we stood on the stage to witness the finals of the relay race, the runners took their positions. Many of them, perhaps from poor background, were not wearing shoes. Not that it stopped them from giving their best.
One of the senior teachers then started moving along the track which was partly grass and partly bare soil. He started to pick the pebbles on the route and move them aside. He did this with such diligence that one could feel the immense love and care he had for the students. The race had not started yet, but we had a winner already.
