I Wish .........................

One day, a pair of young lovers went for a sightseeing trip on a bus, the destination of which was a famous tourist attraction. Before the bus entered the hills area, it passed by a small beautiful beach. The scenaries of the beach fully fascinated the pair. The man said to his girl friend, "Before going to the hills, why don't we go to the beach for a walk?" The girl said, " Good idea. I'd love to." So the man pressed the bell to signal to disembark. Afterwards, the bus continued to drive on slowly. The pair walked leisurely in the direction to the beach. But very shortly, they heard a sudden big "BOOM". A hugh boulder rolled down from the hill and struck right on the bus. Very unfortunately, no passengers on the bus survived.
Shocked at the scene, the man said to his girl friend very sadly, "I wish we were still on the bus." The girl was speechless with tears all over her face. She held her boyfriend's hand tight and nodded her head hard in agreement.

Under such situation, people might think about themselves first. They would feel happy and lucky to have gotten off the bus; otherwise they would be killed too. But the pair concerned more about the others and looked at the matter from a broader perspective. They thought that if they were still on the bus, the bus wouldn't have stopped but continued. When the boulder fell down, it wouldn't have hit the bus and the tragedy wouldn't have happened at all! They felt very sorry to have disembarked and not to have stayed with the other passengers!
