Answer» Jope Smith: Good evening, Hasan! I’m Jope Smith, one of the travellers in the Ranaganji, going to Calcutta. Hasan: Good evening! Glad to you were on the ship. JS: Congratulations on your promotion! You really deserve it. Hasan: Thank you, Ms Jope Smith. I thank Allah for all this wonderful things happening to me. JS: I want to say one more thing to you. I want to say ‘sorry’. Hasan: Say ‘sorry' for what? JS: For thinking ill of you and laughing at you. When I saw you first I talked ill of you for no reason. I guess I was very proud. I could never imagine that you were such a nice and brave person. Hasan: I don’t think I am such a nice and brave person. I did what I ought to have done in the circumstances. When I knew some workers were having smallpox, had to take care of them. Does not Allah want us to help one another ? JS: You’re right, Hasan! We ought to help one another. I am ashamed of my prejudice. I’m sorry! Hasan: It’s okay Madam! We all make mistakes. Forget it and be happy. JS: Thank you, Hasan, I feel quite relieved now. Thank you very much. |
