Not the colour...but what inside...

There was a man who made living selling balloons at a fair. He had all colours of balloons including, red ,blue, yellow and green.

Whenever business was slow, he will release a helium- filled balloon into the air and when children saw it to go up, they wanted to buy one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon and his sales would go up again. He continued the process all day.

One day he felt some one pulling at his jacket. He turned around and saw a little boy who asked,

“If you releases a black balloon ,would that also fly?”.

Moved by the boy’s concern, the man replied with empathy ,

”Son it is not the colour of the balloon; it is what inside that makes it goes up”.
