What use a single shoe?
As Mahatma Gandhi stepped aboard a train one day,
One of his shoes slipped off and landed near the track.
He was unable to retrieve it as the train was about to move.
To the amazement of his companions, Gandhi calmly took off his other shoe
and threw it back along the track to land close to the first.
Asked by a fellow passenger why he did so, Gandhi smiled.
"The poor man who finds the shoes lying on the track," he replied,
"will now have a pair he can use."
