The Poor Man’s Wealth
Once upon a time, Ramchand and Premchand were
neighbours in a little town. Ramchand was a poor farmer. He used to be very
relaxed and happy, because he never bothered to close the doors and windows of
his house at night. Although he had no money, he was peaceful. Meanwhile,
Premchand was a landlord. He used to be very tensed, because he was very keen
to close the doors and windows of his house at night. He couldn't sleep well,
and was always bothered that someone might break in and steal away his
money. One day, Premchand call Ramchand
and gave him a boxful of cash saying, “Look my dear friend. I am blessed with
plenty of wealth. I find you in poverty. So, take this cash and live in
prosperity." Ramchand was
overwhelmingly happy. He was joyful throughout the day. Night came. Ramchand
went to bed as usual. But, to-day, he could not sleep. He went and closed the
doors and windows. He still could not sleep. He began to keep on looking at the
box of cash. The whole night he was disturbed.
As soon as day broke, Ramchand took the box of cash to Premchand. He
gave away the box to Premchand saying, “Dear Friend, I am poor. But, your money
took away peace from me. Please bear with me and take back your money." So,
moral of the story is " Money can not get everything. Learn to be
satisfied with what you have and you will always be happy."
