Be kind and generous. Learn to appreciate what you are given.
Once upon a time, there was a man who was very helpful, kindhearted and
generous. He was a man who would help someone without expecting anything in
return. One day while walking down a dusty road, this man saw a purse. He picked
it up and noticed that the purse was empty. Suddenly a woman with a policeman
shows up and gets him arrested.
The woman kept asking where he hid her money but the
man replied, “It was empty when I found it, Mam.” The
woman yelled at him, “Please give it back. It’s for my son’s
school fees.” The man noticed that the woman really felt
sad, so he handed all his money. The man said, “Take this,
sorry for the inconvenience.” The woman left and
policeman held he man for further questioning.
The woman was very happy but when she counted her
money later on, it was doubled. She was shocked. One
day while the woman was going to pay her son’s school fees,
she noticed that some skinny man was walking behind her.
She thought that he may rob her, so she approached a policeman standing nearby.
He was the same policeman, who she took along to inquire about her purse. The
woman told him about the man following her, but suddenly they saw that man
collapsing. They ran towards him and saw that he was the same man whom they
arrested few days back for stealing the purse.
He looked very weak. The policeman said to the woman, “He didn’t return your
money, he gave you his money that day. He wasn’t the thief but hearing about
your son’s school fees, he felt sad and gave you his money.” Later, they helped the
man stand up, and the man told the woman, “Please go ahead and pay your son’s
school fees, I saw you and followed you to be sure that no one steals your son’s
school fees.” The woman was speechless.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Life gives you strange experiences, sometime it shocks you and sometimes it may
surprise you. We end up making wrong judgments or mistakes in our anger,
desperation and frustration. However, when you get a second chance, correct your
mistakes. Be kind and generous. Learn to appreciate what you are given.
