There
was a poor boy, who made a living with selling various objects door to door, to
pay for his school. He was very hungry and felt he couldn’t walk even a few
steps. He decided to ask for food at a house.
He
knocked the door and was stunned to see a beautiful young girl at the door
step. With so much hesitation, in spite of his hunger he asked the girl to
offer a glass of water.
The
young girl understood his hunger through his eyes and offered him milk in huge
glass. With astonished look he drank the milk very slowly. And asked how much I
owe you for this milk?
The
girl replied “I don’t accept anything for kindness.” With big smile in his
face, the boy thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart and left the place.
Years
passed by. The young girl fell ill and was diagnosed with the rarest kind of
nervous condition, which was a complicated condition to treat. While many
experience doctors baffled at her condition, she was taken to a big hospital to
study about her condition.
Dr.
Madhav, a renowned specialist was called in by the hospital to examine her. He
gave a visit to the hospital where she was admitted to learn about the rare
condition.
As he
entered her room, Dr. Madhav, immediately identified who that woman was. With
all his efforts and knowledge, Dr. Madhav battled hardly with the disease for
weeks and months. At last, he won over the disease and the woman was completely
cured. Every one praised the doctor, while the woman was quite afraid about the
hospital bill as she could not afford to pay.
Dr.
Madhav asked the hospital to send the bill to him as he would add his charged.
After receiving the hospital bill, he wrote a note and sent it to her. With
lots of fear, she opened the bill and had no idea how much she was charged.
Her
eyes filled with tears and happiness once she opened the bill. She found the
bill cancelled and that was not the reason for her happiness. The little note
beneath it was “ I don’t accept anything for kindness”.
The End
