Three absent minded writers were busy discussing
a writing project on the platform, while waiting
for the train. The announcement was made, and
the train finally arrived. There was complete panic
among eagerly waiting passengers as the train
made its way to the platform. Passengers rushed
inside the train, and the train left. However, one
of the writers was not able to catch thetrain in
the confusion.
A passerby who saw all this came up to the writer
and told him not to worry and catch the next
available train. The writer replied, “I am not
worried for myself, but the real problem is that I
was the one who was suppose to catch the train,
and the two of them who went on the train,
actually came to see me off”.
