Kofi worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when he finished with his work schedule, he went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something, but in a moment of bad luck, the door closed and he was locked inside with no help in sight. Although he screamed and knocked with all his might, his cries went unheard as no one could hear him. Most of the workers had already gone, and outside the cold room its impossible to hear what was going on inside. Five hours later, whilst Kofi was on the verge of death, the security guard(TA) of the factory eventually opened the door and saved the life of Kofi. Kofi then asked the security guard(TA) how he got to open the door, as it wasnt part of his work routine. His explanation: Ive been working in this factory for 35 years, hundreds of workers come in and out every day, but youre one of the few who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me every night when leaving after working hours. Many treat me as if Im invisible. Today, like every other day, you greeted me in your simple manner Hello at the entrance when resuming for work, but curiously, after working hours today, I observed Ive not heard your bye, see you tomorrow. Hence, I decided to check around the factory. I look forward to your hi and bye every day. To you, I am someone. By not hearing your farewell, I knew something had happened. Thats why I started searching every where for you. Moral Lesson to reflect upon: Be humble, love and respect those around you. As life is too short! Try to have an impact on people in ways we cant even imagine, especially the people who cross your path every day, you never know what tomorrow holds. Let this teaching warm all hearts!
