Ravi was a worker in Babu Singh’s house who was an engineer. Ravi was working under him for 10 years but his wages per month was a hundred rupees. His family lived in a village. He had a wife, his mother and father, two sons and a daughter. Babu’s neighbour was Saleem who was a judge in the district court. Ramu was a security guard, guarding Saleem’s house, a close friend of Ravi. Babu likes sweets and Saleem liked fruits. So they always asked someone to get them these fruits.


A letter came from Ravi’s family stating that his daughter was ill and they needed some money. Ravi requested Babu but he refused to help. Ravi feeling tensed and worried met Ramu. Ramu like any friend would do discovered the problem Ravi was going through and to solve it he lent the money he had been saving which was of rupees eight hundred and fifty. Ravi hesitated but did not have a second thought and took the money. He sent the money to his family and they got their daughter treated. 


A few days later Ravi was doing his work of cleaning when he overheard Babu telling one of his contractors that he needed ten thousand rupees under bribe. Ravi was shocked and immediately met Ramu and told him the same. Ramu very casually grinned and told Ravi that it was very common for people like Saleem and Babu to take bribes. Ravi was convinced and came out of his shocked state.


Ravi had paid Ramu eight hundred and forty rupees and was only left to pay ten rupees more. Babu ordered Ravi to get sweets and gave him fifty rupees. Ravi bought sweets only for forty rupees and paid the ten rupees to Ramu. As soon as Babu saw the sweets he discovered that there was something fishy. He hit and tortured Ravi to get to know the truth. Poor Ravi was not able to bear the arrogance of his owner and told what he had done with the money. 

 

Babu immediately went to the police station and filed a case on Ravi. He paid the officer a thousand rupees and asked him to persecute Ravi for his misbehaviour. The police officer obeyed Babu's orders. Ravi was half dead by the time the officers had produced him in the court. In the court the judge was Saleem and he punished Ravi by sending him to jail for six months and fined him for two thousand rupees. 


Ramu was very irritated and said after he got to know what had happened to Ravi. He in anger said “This world is a dark world where people who take thousands and thousands of rupees as bribe are sleeping in nice and cozy beds, while the person who just stole ten rupees is in the jail experiencing hell.”
