A couple wanted to move to the city, where there was potential to make more money and raise a family. So both of them work hard for a year, earning just enough money for them to take a train to the city. They both knew that each other had worked hard for the past year so they both bought first class tickets for the train.
As they get on and find their seats, they find a woman in their seat. As the wife ask to make sure there isn't a mistake. The husband stops her and points out something to her. This woman had a wheelchair next to her and it was obvious that this woman was handicapped. So the husband told his wife to sit and he will stand for the trip.
As they ride the train, the wife worries about her husband and wonders if he gets tired. She asks him if he wants to sit in her seat and they will share. He tells her "no, im fine" and smiles. Every few minutes, she would ask if he is tired and wants to sit, the husband would smile and shakes his head and says everything is fine.
As they get off the train, she asks him why didn't he tell the handicapped person to leave or why wouldn't he sit? and he simply replied " I simply only had to do was stand for 3 hours, but for that woman, she is handicapped for life."
