~~Reading on travel~~

   Books are best companions and we can take them where ever we go. Best time to read a book is during the travel. This should have in practice for a long time ,to prove this I came across this statue of Lincoln in our institute in the middle of apple orchid . We can see him reading a book while riding a horse.

Before Abraham Lincoln became President he was called out of town on important law business. As he had a long distance to travel he hired a horse from a livery stable. When a few days later he returned he took the horse back to the stable and asked the man who had given it to him: “Keep this horse for funerals?”

“No, indeed,” answered the man indignantly.

“Glad to hear it,” said Lincoln; “because if you did the corpse wouldn’t get there in time for the resurrection.”


After this Lincoln started reading books while riding.!
