Blessing Behind Tragedy
There was a black family in Scotland years ago. They were Clark family with nine children.
They had a dream to go to America. The family worked and saved. They were making plan to
travel with their children to America. It had taken several years but finally they had saved

enough money. They had gotten passport. They had booked seats for the whole family
member in a new liner to America.
The entire family was full of anticipation and excitement with their new life in America.
However few days before their departure, the youngest son was bitten by a dog. The doctor
sewed up the boy. Because of the possibility of getting rabies, there were being quarantined
for long days. They were in quarantine when the departure time came. The family dreams
were dashed. They could not make the trip to America as they had planned.
The father was full of disappointed and anger. He stomped the dock to watch the ship leaved
without him and his family. He shed tears of disappointment. He cursed both his son and God
for the misfortune.
Five days latter, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland. The ship, the mighty Titanic,
had shank. It took hundreds of passenger and crew with it. Titanic which had been called the
unsinkable ship had sunk. It was unbelievable but it was.
The Clak family should have been on that ship, but because of the bitten son by a dog, they
were left behind. When the father heard the news, he hugged the son and thanked him for
saving the family. He thanked God for saving their lives. It was a blessing behind a tragedy.
