Effortless Money

After four years he had come to his village in India from abroad to attend his niece's marriage. He felt some uneasiness as no one had come to receive him. In the meantime, a fifteen-year boy in torn white shirt and half brown pants came and asked: "Sir, shall I carry your luggage?". Taking out the cigarette from a golden cigarette box, he asked "How much you will charge?" the boy said, "Sir, give me thirty rupees." Lightening the cigarette, he said rudely "Go, go who will give thirty rupees for just two luggage. I can pay you twenty rupees." Boy with tears in his eyes said with a request "Sir, give me thirty rupees, I will carry the luggage till rickshaw stand. I really need this money."

Taking a long puff of the cigarette, he said "Money does not come without efforts. If you agree for twenty rupees, then carry the luggage or go from here." The helpless boy bent down to lift the luggage. Suddenly hearing a voice "Uncle, sorry for getting late to pick you up". The boy looked up and seeing him the nephew of uncle said "Oh, Amar! Your mother is ill, and you had not come to school for that reason. What you are doing over here? "Lifting the luggage Amar said "I am here just to collect money for medicine of my mother" and he started walking with the luggage.
