Once upon a time, there was a man who was very helpful,
kindhearted, and generous. He was a man who will help someone without
asking anything to pay him back. He will help someone because he wants
to and he loves to. One day while walking into a dusty road, this man
saw a purse, so 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 on asking where did he hide 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. He could say
that the woman was a single mother. The man said, “Take these, 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 woman was going to pay
her son’s school fees towards the school, 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
at him, and saw that he was the same man whom they arrested few days
back for stealing a purse.
He looked very weak and woman was confused. 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 you son’s school fees, he
felt sad and gave you his money.” Later, they helped man stand up, and
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: 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 and return the favor. Be Kind
and Generous. Learn to Appreciate what you are given.
