Loan Troubles, Foolish Plans.

There was a young boy named Rahul who lived in a small village in India. He was the only son of his parents and they were struggling to make ends meet. Rahul had big dreams, but he knew that his family's financial situation would never allow him to achieve them.

One day, Rahul heard about a wealthy man named Mr. Kapoor who was lending money to people in the village. Rahul saw this as an opportunity to fulfill his dreams and decided to borrow some money from Mr. Kapoor. He went to meet him and asked for a loan of Rs. 10,000, promising to pay it back within six months.

Mr. Kapoor agreed to lend him the money, but with a high-interest rate of 15%. Rahul was happy to get the money and he immediately used it to start a small business of selling vegetables in the market. For a few months, Rahul was able to make a decent profit and was confident that he would be able to repay the loan on time.

However, things started to go downhill when a new vendor started selling vegetables at a much lower price. Rahul's sales began to drop, and he struggled to make enough money to repay the loan. The six months went by, and he still owed Mr. Kapoor the full amount.

Rahul was worried about how he would be able to repay the loan. He knew that Mr. Kapoor was a wealthy man who would not take kindly to not getting his money back. He was afraid of what would happen if he did not repay the loan.

One day, Rahul had an idea. He decided to pretend to be crazy and act like he had lost his mind. He thought that if he acted crazy, Mr. Kapoor would not bother him about the loan and would leave him alone.

Rahul went to Mr. Kapoor's house and started acting crazy, talking to himself and laughing out loud. Mr. Kapoor was shocked to see Rahul in this state and asked him what was wrong. Rahul replied that he had lost his mind and did not know what he was doing.

Feeling sorry for Rahul, Mr. Kapoor decided to let him go and forget about the loan. Rahul was relieved and happy that his plan had worked. He went back to his village, happy that he had fooled the wealthy man and had gotten away with not paying back the loan.

However, as time passed, Rahul started to feel guilty about what he had done. He realized that it was not right to take advantage of someone's kindness and deceive them. He decided to make things right and went back to Mr. Kapoor's house to confess.

Mr. Kapoor was surprised to see Rahul and asked him what was wrong. Rahul told him the truth about his plan and how he had pretended to be crazy to avoid paying back the loan. Mr. Kapoor was disappointed but also impressed by Rahul's honesty. He forgave him for what he had done and told him that he could repay the loan in installments.

Rahul was grateful for Mr. Kapoor's kindness and promised to repay the loan as soon as possible. He learned a valuable lesson that day about the importance of honesty and integrity. From then on, he made sure to always do the right thing, no matter how difficult it may be.
