Listen to the Whisper...
Wait for the Brick
A young and successful executive was
traveling down a neighborhood street,
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.
He was
watching for kids darting out from
between parked cars
and slowed
down when he thought he saw something.
As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a
brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed
on the brakes and drove the Jag back
to the
spot where the brick had been thrown.
The angry
driver then jumped out of the car,
grabbed
the nearest kid and pushed him up against
a parked car shouting,
''What
was that all about and who are you?
Just what
the heck are you doing?
That's a
new car and that brick you threw is going
to cost a lot of money.
Why did
you do it?''
The young boy was apologetic.
''Please
mister... please, I'm sorry... I didn't
know what else to do,'' he pleaded.
''I
threw the brick because no one else would
stop...''
With tears
dripping down his face and off his chin,
the youth
pointed to a spot just around a parked
car.
''It's
my brother,'' he said.
''He
rolled off the curb and fell out of his
wheelchair and I can't lift him up.''
Now
sobbing, the boy asked the stunned
executive,
''Would
you please help me get him back into his
wheelchair?
He's hurt and he's too heavy for
me.''
Moved beyond words,
the driver
tried to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump in his throat.
He
hurriedly lifted the handi-capped boy
back into the wheelchair,
then took
out his fancy handkerchief and
dabbed at
the fresh scrapes and cuts.
A quick
look told him everything was going to be
okay.
''Thank you and may God bless
you,'' the grateful child told the
stranger.
Too shook up for words,
the man
simply watched the little boy push his
wheelchair-bound brother
down the
sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long, slow walk back to the
Jaguar.
The damage
was very noticeable, but
the driver
never bothered to repair the dented side
door.
He kept the dent there to remind him of
this message:
Don't go
through life so fast
that
someone has to throw a brick at you to
get your attention!
