The traveling ticket examiner came into her compartment and asked for the ticket. The old lady looked in her bag but could not find it. She then looked for it among her other things but still she couldn’t find the ticket.
The ticket examiner could see that the old lady was visibly trembling. She started sweating. Her water bottle fell down and rolled to one of the corners spilling its contents all the way; but she didn’t seem to notice it. She was trying to open the side pocket of her hand bag from the wrong side. Finally not knowing what to do, the old lady cried out impatiently, “I’ve lost my ticket. Pull the chain please”.
The ticket examiner said, “Please don’t worry. I know that you’re honest. I shall make sure that you do not have any trouble.” But the lady said, “You do not understand. If I do not find my ticket, how will I know where I have to get off ?”

And dream we never shall see them more;
But for a thousand years
Their fruit appears
In weeds that mar the land,
Or healthful store.
The deeds we do-the words we say
Into still air they seem to float;
We count them ever past-
But they shall last,
In the dread judgement, they
And we shall meet!
