Stories play an imperative role in everyone’s life since they teach better lessons to readers. In my childhood, I learned a number of stories and now going to talk about my favourite one. 

When it was? 

I still remember the time when I was in sixth grade at that time I heard about this story and that story changed my life completely. 

Who told the story? 

My cousin's brother narrated this story to me when I was going to my uncle’s home along with my family members by train from my hometown Ferozepur to New Delhi. As the whole journey was 400 miles and I was unable to sleep on the train and owing to this, my cousin narrated this story to me. 

What the story was? 

This story was named TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION – The Story of William Waldorf and George C. Boldt. In this story, my cousin started telling me that 

Once on a stormy night, an elderly couple arrived at a hotel named Belle Vue in Philadelphia and asked for a room.  

They were so sad when came to know that no room is vacant and all hotels had been booked owing to a 3-day long convention in a city.  

However, the manager there was a kind person and with a winning smile, he asked the old couple to get his room. 

The couple agreed and the next morning, the old man asked the manager, one day I will build a big hotel for you. 

After two years, the same manager received tickets in a parcel to New York City where he was welcomed by the same old man.  

The old man asked him to come with me and by pointing out a finger towards a magnificent building, he asked the manager to manage that hotel. 

That particular hotel was built by the old person named “WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOR” and that hotel was the World’s renowned “WALDORF-ASTORIA HOTEL” and that manager was “GEORGE CHARLES BOLDT” who became the first manager of that building for the next 23 years until he died in 1916. 

And explain why you liked it so much? 

I was amazed at this story because of the abundance of reasons; 

First of all, this story has given me a lesson to serve society in a kind as well as compassionate manner since we have to recognize the whole human race as one. 

Secondly, I have learnt that if someone has helped us then we have to revert that person.
