There was once a minister for railways. He had a very good reputation.He was known to be an honest man who always did his duty.One,day he was on his way to an impotant function.He was getting late for it.His car reached a railway crossing.They had to stop there.The gate closed just as they arrived.The driver of the minister's car quickily ran to the gaurd on duty.He said firmly to the gaurd,"The minister is in the car.Raise the gate to let us pass.The minister is an important man.He has a function to attend."The gaurd quietly listened to the driver.He waited for the driver to finish speaking.Then he clearly and politely said,"I am sorry,Sir.I cannot open the gate .The express train is expected any moment and it would be dangerous for both the car and the train." The driver was suprised and angry with the gaurd.He walked back to the car grumbling.The minister asked what had happened.The driver told him what the gaurd had said.The minister got out of the car and started walking towards the gaurd.The gaurd was suprised to see the minister coming but he was not afraid.He knew that he had done his duty.The minister reached the gaurd,smiled and said,"Well done! I will see to it that your dedication to duty is rewarded.The Indian Railways needs more people like you."He patted the gaurd and walked back to the car."The gaurd and I are not unlike each other,"the minister told the driver. "We are both doing our duty."
