When you lose a sandal

From the Singapore Kindness Movement website:

The revered Indian Nationalist leader, Mahatma Gandhi, once stepped aboard a train and one of his sandals slipped off and landed on the tracks. As the train was moving, he was unable to retrieve it. So, he calmly took off his other sandal and threw it back along the track close to the first sandal.
When asked why he did it, Gandhi smiled and replied, "The poor man who finds the sandals on the track will now have a pair that he can wear.
