उत्तर

As he drove home, he felt guilty for having let his children down. After parking his car, he walked towards his drawing room with heavy steps. He was expecting a strong reaction from his wife and children. But to his utter surprise he saw them engrossed in their favourite programme. Finally, he got some courage to say sorry for being late. Once his wife narrated the whole story of how the boss came and took them to exhibition. It was even more surprising for him. Deep in his heart he developed more respect for his boss.

Empathy of a leader is one of the important characteristics in his character.

Moki : It's because you haven't been to a dentist for ages.
Doki: What a reassuring person you are!
Moki : I'm now going to get Mom. She'll only crack the whip and make you go to the
dentist.
Doki: No, No! I'd better go with you. At least you'd save me from going into the surgery.
Moki : I can only take the horse to the water but I can't make it drink! I'm sure, you're going
to turn tail and go home.
Doki: Don't worry, I shall be led quietly into the dentist like a lamb because my tooth is so
sore.
Moki : If that happens, I would believe that wonders will never cease!
Doki: I wish I had taken proper care of my teeth!
Moki : I wish you had paid attention to the discipline that Mom had laid for all of us!
Doki: Yeah! But past can't be undone. I have to reap what I had sown.
