A dialogue between a policeman and student

    Policeman: Excuse me. Stop. The light is red.

    Student: I'm sorry. I did not notice.

    P: Most of the people are in hurry.

    S: If a man is in a hurry, he has to violate a signal.

    P: The signals are for you people.

    S: But sometimes, they are very long.

    P: It depends. Laws are for every body.

    S: I don't agree. Laws are usually for the poor.

    P: No one is rich or poor in the eyes of a law. It is equal to all.

    S: But it usually does not happen. The poor are challenged and fined, not the rich.

    P: You are mistaken. Throughout my service, I have treated equally.

    S: Exceptions are there. You may do your duty honestly.

    P: It is the same with everybody. If you are good, everyone is good.

    S: It is not a general practice. I have different experience. If you do a good turn, you get a bad one.

    P: No. Always keep in mind. Do good and have good.

    S: It is an old saying now.

    P: This is universal truth. It is ever green. It never becomes old.

    S: O.K. If you say, I agree.

    P: Thank you. One thing always keep in mind. Don't find fault with others. Always sweep before your own door.

    S: Thanks for your advice. Good-bye.

    P: Good-bye.
