The 100 yard dash....

Several years ago at the Special Olympics, nine contestants-all physically disabled or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out. Not exactly in dash, but with relish to run the race to finish and win. All except one little boy who stumbled over on the asphalt, He tumbled over  a couple of times and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. The all slowed down and looked back. Then they went back to help him; every one of them. One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him, she said "this will make it feel better." Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood up and cheered.

So if they can help each other with their disabilities I just dont get why we cant? click the [<3] if you think everyone is equal.
