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...

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
