Preaching? Nah!

I was walking fanatically and was not satisfied with my pace at all. I didn’t have time. Come on, increase your speed!
I saw a child sitting on the road, sulking and weeping at the same time. The road was deserted. No! it was not, I found out when I browsed the roads. Across the road a little girl of five or six years was standing, puzzled and confused.
I asked, “Why is he weeping?”
She replied, “He hit him.”
“Who is he? And where is he?” I scanned the road again, failing to notice another child.
“He is hiding behind that tree?”
“Do you know both of these boys?” She seemed related to them.
“Yes! Both of them are my brothers.”
I went near the girl and whispered in confidential tone, “Ask your he-man brother to go near him, help him getting up, and then both of them should shake hands.”
She agreed.
I remembered, I was going to do some work. I must hurry. Others were waiting for me.
I finished my task in time, was returning home with a satisfied grin.
Again I spotted the trio. This time they were together. What a stamina their mother might have possessed to produce them barely at a gap of one year each and what a remarkable professional she might be to leave them on street and devoting her time to sell vegetables.
“Well, tell me have they shaken hands?” I quizzed.
“Yes! They have.” She answered, looking amused.
“How?” I was not satisfied, “Show me, how both of you did shake hands?”
They reproduced the gesture for me.
“OK! Have they embraced each other too?”
“What is gale milna (embracing)?”
“Come near me. I will show you.”
One of the daring types came near me. I taught him using demonstration method how to hug his brother. Now it was their turn to show me how they learnt this art. We all were ignoring curious passers by.
Two little figures hugged and I made them remember that in future whenever they are going to fight, after shedding all the tears and anger, they must shake hands and hug each other. They promised me to do exactly that. I didn’t the have the feeling of preaching anything to anyone.
While returning home I was walking at a leisurely pace and had a wider stupid grin on my face.
