Conscience
While going to a meeting with a friend the American President Abraham Lincoln saw a pig caught in a hole of slush. He immediately got down from his carriage and rescued the pig . As there was not much time for the meeting to begin, Lincoln walked in with his dirty clothes on. On enquiring the reason for the dirty attire , the friend narrated the incident. The onlookers were all in praise for the president’s great quality mercy .
The convenor of the meeting was introducing Lincoln, ‘our president is full of mercy .He did not bother about his clothes and saved the pig’, when he was interrupted by Lincoln who stood up and said,’ you have got me wrong. Seeing the pig struggle , my own conscience was struggling and hence I saved the pig not for its sake but to save myself ‘.
