After five days completely closed a city for the riots, curfew was imposed to control the situation.Along with other shops, food shops were also closed. Everything else can still be managed but how will life go without eating ?? So there is a lot of wailing with food. Those who were a little richer had already saved food and left it at home.But the condition of those who were poor, those who ate day after day, became very bad.
There was a hostel for orphans in that town. Even there, the effect was severe. The amount of food that was in stock is slowly running out and there is nothing left for the children to eat. A small child who was there couldn't bear the hunger and went out on the street.He knew that if he was caught by the police on the street he would have to be beaten or even arrested and taken away but his stomach hunger was so painful that he might not notice anything else. He thought that it would be better to go out on the streets and look for some food than to die without eating from here.
However, with this in mind, he goes out into the city streets and looks around to see if there is any food to be found. While searching, he was walking down an alley in the city when he saw a girl sitting on the balcony of his house eating something. The little boy looked at her and motioned for her to give him some food.The girl is very fond of seeing the child. Meanwhile, she is a little scared that curfew is going on outside and at this time, letting someone come inside the house means that there is a lot of danger. But when the child told him that he had not eaten for three days, he couldn't bear the child's suffering. He brought the boy into the house without thinking of the danger. The child tells him, "I'm very thirsty." Tears came to the girl's eyes. She gets up and goes to the kitchen and from there brings a glass of milk for the boy.
The boy eats milk first from a glass of milk with thirst and hunger and then slowly eats the breads. After not eating for three days, a glass of milk and two loaves of bread seemed like nectar to him. His life seemed to come to an end.He finished eating and thanked the girl a lot and then when he came out of the girl's house he stood looking at the nameplate next to the door. Seeing that, the girl asks him if you want to eat something more ?? The boy said, "No", he didn't need anything else, so he left.
Then gradually the condition of the city returned to normal and many years passed. The girl is now an old woman. One day while she was on her way to work on the road, a car hit her. She was seriously injured and lost consciousness on the road. People on the street took her to a nearby hospital. Many doctors After three or four days, he regained consciousness.
When she regained consciousness she found out that she was admitted to one of the most expensive hospitals in the city. More than the happiness of living life, she thinks about how she will pay the bill of this hospital. She spends her days one by one and she gets better little by little. She started to calculate how much he would have to pay the bill after she was discharged from the hospital and what she would have to sell for it.Her most tension that day. She don't know how many lakhs of many will come in her hand. She thinks that all the property she has accumulated throughout her life should be sold today and if it becomes less after that, then she should also take a loan.
However, when she is ready to take the discharge, when she asks the nurse for the bill, the nurse brings a file of the bill and gives it to her. She turned the first page of the file in fear. After turning the page and seeing the bill, she couldn't say anything to anyone. Only tears started falling from her eyes. The bill in the file was a few lakh rupees but it read, "Bill fully paid. Thankyou for one glass of milk and two slices of bread." The nurse tells her that the owner of the hospital has paid her bill himself. The woman tells the nurse, "I want to see her once." She goes and cries and asks him, 'Who are you to pay my bill?'
The owner of the hospital came up to him and greeted him, saying, "I am the little boy who came to your door in one of the streets of this city many years ago during the riots. As a result of not eating for three days, I thought that maybe I would die. Ignoring the fear of the police, I did not get any food even after trying hard all day.You became my life-giver that day and invited me to your house and gave me a glass of milk and two loaves of bread. I'm the little boy who got a new life that day just for you. I thanked you that day and remembered your name from the nameplate next to the door. After being successful, I went there and searched for you a lot but I didn't find any of you.I never wanted God to meet you like this but the day you have an accident and the people on the street bring you to my hospital I can recognize you by looking at your ID card. All I prayed to God that day was for the man I was living with today to keep her alive. Let her not be harmed. I'm very grateful to the doctors at my hospital for their efforts in healing you."
After hearing this, the old woman didn't wanna stop her tears. She said to the men, "But this one glass of milk is worth so many lakhs of rupees?" The owner said, "The price of that one glass of milk for me is much more than this lakh rupees. Because that little help of that day has brought me to this place today."
This little story builds the mentality to help us.
This story teaches us that if we can afford it, each of us should help the helpless. And that's not the only money we need to help. We can help the hungry by eating something within our means if we want,If we want, we can help someone by giving our previous year's books, If we want, we can help a brilliant student with free tuition, If we want, we can inspire a troubled person or a broken person through our own words and rekindle the light of hope in their life.If nothing else, we can help at least one elderly person by crossing the street.
