The teacher and student went for a walk near a farm.

They come across old shoes most likely belonging to a poor farmer. The students said why don't we hide these shoes it will be so fun to watch the farmer's reaction when he cannot find them

 Son, it is not ok to play cruel jokes on a poor person. I have a better idea.

Why don't we just put some coins in his shoes? We can hide and see the farmer's reaction. When he sees the coins in his torn shoes.


After a while, the farmer finished working and came to collect his shoes.

 As he slipped his foot into one of the shoes he felt something hard.

 He checked and saw that there were some coins in his shoes.

He looking for the coins. He did not see anyone so he kept them in his Pocket. Then the farmer put on the other shoe. Again he felt something hard.. He checked and saw that they were even more coins in his shoes.


Seeing the coins made the farmer more emotional and he began to cry. He folded his hands and look towards the sky. Oh God! I thank you a thousand times. For the unknown person who is helping me in this time of need because of their kindness. I can now buy medicines for my sick wife and get bread for my children.


As the student listened to the words of this farmer his eyes filled with tears.

Once the former left the teacher questioned his student. Tell me that would have made you happier hiding his shoes or putting coins in his shoes.

I will never forget the lesson. You taught me today. Now, I understood the meaning of these words the joy of giving is much more than taking for it is. Truly limitless. Thank you, teacher.
