Learn to Appreciate
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 your 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
