story of a black boy on self depression

Book Summary by: chetanhk    

Original Author: chetanhk
Story of a black boy on self depression:
Once there was a fair in village. There a balloon seller was selling his
balloons(filled with hydrogen). There was a black boy standing near him. He was attracting the children gathered by filling hydrogen gas inside the colourfull balloons and leaving them flying in the air. All the children surrounded him to buy those beautiful balloons with their favourite colours.some bought red, some pink, some yellow...green...blue... but a black boy stood looking the seller. The balloon seller asks that black boy “what are you looking for?” .The black boy replied in a kind way “sir, can that black one also fly”. Then that balloon seller understands the boy’s condition & took a black balloon filled it with air & made it to fly. The boy was very happy on seeing that & his eyes were full of tears of joy. Then that balloon seller tells him “colors doesn’t matter anything; the thing present inside that does everything”
Here what I mean is that black boy’s mind is set up to think in a way that he’ll never grow in life, people will not support him and all are hesitating to talk with him. The surroundings; the atmosphere around him made him to think like this. But now he got a lesson, a positive attitude from that balloon seller that he can attract or he can become famous through his mind, using his talent.
