In winter, I oftenwalk in a nearby park during lunch time. The park is quiet, as   41   people havethe time to enjoy the winter sun on a weekday. The two people that are oftenseen are a middle-aged father and his little daughter   42   her school uniform. The father looks like hehas all the time in the world—he   43   to hurry along the jogging path; instead hematches his pace with   44   ofthe little girl. Sometimes they are lying   45   in the sun, laughing and chatting.

Theman certainly doesn’t look   46  . What sort of job can he have that giveshim the flexibility to walk in the park in the middle of the day?

And today, we   47   sat on the rocks and had a little chat. “You   48   enjoy the park very much to come here sooften,” I said. The father nodded. “How” I asked curiously,  “do you   49   to leave your office to be with your daughterevery day?”

Thestory that the father, Satyendra Dugbey, told me showed me how, if we   50   under the surface, even ordinary people’s lifecan be quite   51  .

“Iused to be no different from any of those thousands of office workers   52   to work every day,” he began. His wife and hewere well   53   but rarely managed time off for leisure.

Everythingchanged after an accident   54   Dugbey was hit by a car. As he lay in hospital,terrifying thoughts   55   his mind. “How would my daughter, then onlyfour, remember me if I died that day?” “Would my daughter have   56   of being with her father?”

Themoment he recovered and went back to work, Dugbey took time off at lunch,   57   her daughter from school which was just nextdoor to his working place, and took her to the park.

Itwas actually a very small change he’d made, he said, but it amazed him everyday to see the difference it   58   tohis life. “It brings me so much   59   that I can’t believe why others haven’tthought of doing the same thing.” he said simply.

Igot up to continue my   60   walk, unexpectedly happy after his story.
