Once an Englishman and a Bengalee gentleman were travelling by the same train and they were in the same compartment. The Englishman was very proud of himself because he was an Englishman. He looked down upon the Bengalee gentleman who however, took on notice of it and went to sleep in peace. As soon as the Bengalee gentleman was asleep, the Englishman picked up the gentleman's shoes and threw them outside the window and went to sleep. After a while the Bengalee gentleman woke up. He was looking for his shoes but could not find them. He understood it all. Then he took the Englishman's long coat on the wall and threw it outside the window and went to sleep again.
Next morning the Englishman could not find his coat and shout, "Where's my coat gone?" “Your coat went to fetch my shoes," said the gentleman gravely. The Bengalee gentleman was Sir Asutosh Mukherjee, "The Tiger of Bangal."
Moral: Behave as you like to be behaved.
