The new recruit to the force of guards was told by his senior, “I need hardly say that you must prove more alert, more smart, more speedy in your action than the smuggler and the criminal you confront. Your success lies in proving yourself better than he!”
The new recruit was on a round of the area for the first time at night. He returned to the camp by midnight, panting and sweating.
“What happened?” asked his senior.
“I was face to face with a gang of three criminals. They pointed their pistols at me,” he said.
“What did you do?”
“I was alert enough to read the situation, and smart enough to jump into my jeep. They drove at eighty kilometres; I drove at hundred!” he said with satisfaction.
