He said: The U.S. Flight Data Center has announced that in more than 40 airports across the country, around 2,000 flights have been canceled due to staff shortages, leaving passengers stranded and uncertain.

The son of the homeowner came to the door and said, “We have no money.” The beggar said, “Then give me an old piece of clothing; that too is a blessing.” The boy replied, “We have no old clothes.” The beggar said, “Then at least give me a piece of bread.” The boy answered, “We have no bread either.” The beggar said, “Then go tell your father to come out; perhaps he’ll give something.” The boy said, “My father has gone to a mourning ceremony for one of our relatives.” The beggar replied, “Go and tell him to return home—true mourning is in your own house!”
