Educated Beggar

CHAPTER -10

"This part is last of the this Book , Hope dear all wait for the reverse part and read with so passionate"

In a city's slum area, there lived a man who resembled a beggar. His old, tattered clothes and disheveled appearance were quite deceiving. Unperturbed, he strolled down the road. Every now and then, he'd notice people standing in lines, patiently waiting for food. Instead of sympathy, he burst into laughter, and after a few minutes, he continued on his way.

Further along, he reached a train station. Gazing up at the station's imposing gates, he once again erupted into laughter, this time even heartier. After a brief moment, he walked away.

His journey led him to a massive, spotlessly clean hospital. Observing the queues at the hospital's counters, he couldn't help but laugh heartily once more. After a few minutes, he departed.

Finally, he visited a park and sat on the grass, paying no heed to its lack of cleanliness. After some time, a young boy named Raju approached him and asked, "Hello, sir. I'm Raju. I've been following you for the past two hours, witnessing your laughter everywhere. May I ask, why were you laughing? Can you tell me?"

The man responded, "I'm not laughing without reason, young man. My laughter was directed at the people, the lines, and the crowds, and the situations that unfolded."

Perplexed, Raju inquired, "I don't quite understand. Could you please explain?"

The man explained, "When I observed the road and saw those lines for food, I couldn't help but laugh. The people waiting in those lines were educated, well-dressed, and in better conditions than the beggars in the corners. My laughter stemmed from witnessing the selfishness and greed of the people."

He continued, "Then, when I looked at the lines at the station's ticket counter and the families sleeping on the footpath, I was bewildered by God's plan. Those who had homes wanted to leave them and rest elsewhere, while those with no homes slept peacefully on the pavement. This irony made me laugh."

He added, "Lastly, when I saw the lines at the hospital, I chuckled at the hypocrisy of people. They remembered God only when they were in the hospital. Nowadays, people are exceedingly greedy, careless, and selfish. They take but seldom give, and this is why I laughed."

Moral of the story: Gratitude is essential for us all.
