Jonathan Swift, a famous English writer, was one day travelling on horseback with a servant. The weather was bad; it was raining and the roads were muddy. In the evening the two men came to an inn. Before going to bed, Swift told his servant to clean his boots as they were dirty. But the servant was very lazy and did not do what his master had said. The next morning when Swift saw the dirty boots, he asked the servant why he had not executed the order. ”The roads are muddy. What is the use of cleaning the boots now? They will soon be dirty again,” the servant answered. Swift didn’t say anything and soon told the servant to get ready because they would start at once.

But there are people who do it only on camera, and in their hearts they do not want to help anyone. Some celebrities put themselves above others, but there are some who don't consider themselves superior. All people are good in their own way.
