Suddenly, a twinkle of an eye, then his determined heart grew weary. He loses his focus. "I have no money, I can't get on this train," he reminded himself. He doubted and turned to leave in disappointment. Painfully he slowly crippled back home regrettably and looking pale. Just in time along the way, as he crippled home, he met another younger cripple going toward the same train. Excitedly the younger cripple asked him, "Are you not supposed to be on that train going to the land of plenty?" "Uhm . . . yes, but I'm going back home because I have no ticket," he replied. Then passionately the younger cripple gave a silent whisper to his ears, "Two angels of light found me, they told me you are here waiting for me," he said. Then he brought out a folded handkerchief and unfolded it. Then he said, ''Here are our tickets, I am sorry I came a little bit late, I needed to pay off my debt before departing this city." He handed over his ticket to him and gave him a kiss and pulled him toward the train. Happily, the younger cripple said "I have gotten the hearing heart" and started his way back gently, and they got on the train.
