Kindness will be repaid in full

Once there was a fruit seller. One day a man came by the shop. The man was in front of a fruit shop and the man was asked the price of the bananas, the shopkeeper swayed Rs.50 per dozen . The man asked for the price of the apples, the shopkeeper said Rs.200 per kilo. An old lady approached the same shop and asked for the price of the bananas, the shopkeeper said Rs.10 per dozen and when asked for the price of the apple he says Rs.50 per kilo. 

The old woman had some change in the woman's clutch. The woman purchased very minimal fruits. As soon as the old woman left, the other man asked the shopkeeper why the price was high for him and low for her. The shopkeeper said that the old lady was lonely and she lived all alone. I love to offer her fruits for free but she has a lot of self respect so she doesn't accept anything for free. The lady comes to my shop once in a while and whenever she comes here I get a lot of business. The shopkeeper said he firmly believed that when we give to the needy God will note and repay us. 

The shopkeeper also added the story of a shop in Europe, in Italy, where the customers can pay extra for a coffee wherein the shop will offer it for free to those who are in need. They call it the anonymous coffee. The shop's name is called : Cafe Sous Peso. The system of pending coffee is a unique way of kindness and sharing. It is such an invaluable thing.


Caring for the needy will speed up the blessings awaiting.

2.     Mother's Love It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.  The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.  The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held h...

KUTTY STORY 1

STORY.1 It is not necessary that time favours you every time. Sometimes, it teaches a lesson : How to lead a disciplined life through difficulties Once there were two youngsters, one had an office job and the other, being blind, used to beg on the pavement of the office complex where the other worked.  The employee was never appreciated by anyone in his office and so he was demotivated. He had a tough time at his work place. Everyday, the employee on his way to and from his office, watched the blind beggar. One day he saw the begger with a note saying 'I am Blind'. The employee walked up to the begger and made a small change in the note and carried on with his day.  At the end of the day, on his way back from office the employee  was curious to know if his small change in the note made any difference to the beggar. As he neared the place, the begger recognized the employee with his foot steps and said  " I understand you are the one who cam...

Kutty story #61

World moves on without you: There lived a teacher in a small village. He had a wife, a son who was doing his higher studies and daughter who was ready to get married. He was living a contented life when a thought came to his mind that totally disturbed his peaceful existence.  He suddenly thought that he was the reason the whole family was happy. He felt that things wouldn’t be the same for them in his absence. This thought bred in him and over a few days turned into an ego in himself. One day when he was introspecting himself as a teacher he realized that he had become egoistic but it was already late as the ego had got the better of him already. At around the same time, a yogi arrived in the village and coincidentally he was speaking about controlling ones egos and vices. The yogi said that the world remains the same although many have come and left before this and continue to do so. After the talk, the teacher approached the yogi and confesses to him that hes already suffering w...
