Mr.Clark, a poor farmer lived in Scotland with 4 children and a wife.
In 1912, Mr.Clark have heard that Thomas Andrews have made the RMS Titanic. Inaddition to that White Starline have purchased the Titanic to made a luxury cruise liner. Mr.Clark have starved and saved a lot of money and bought the tickets for his families dream voyage in the RMS Titanic.
On April 10th 1912, the RMS Titanic started her historic maiden voyage from Southampton to New York with 2,224 passengers and crew aboard.
As a dog had bitten one of his sons and he was quarantined, Mr.Clark and his family was forced to drop the dream voyage. On the port of Southampton, Mr.Clark was standing weeping and crying, as he could not board the RMS Titanic.
All his hard earned money invested in buying the costly tickets were gone for a toss. Mr.Clark's dream sank in the sea waves. On 14th April 1912 2.20AM, he had heard the news from White Starline that "With great regret, we announce that the Great RMS Titanic is Sunk".
On hearing this news, Mr.Clark jumped with joy and thanked the dog for biting his son on the right time.
Moral of Story :
Good and bad is so relative. Something that seems to be apparently bad turns to be good in the course of the time, have FAITH and PATIENCE in God's plan. Always believe that God plan is always better than your plan.
