Service never goes in Vain

-

One day a very poor man Amar Prasad saw an old lady , stranded on the side of the road.

Amar saw that she had a flat tyre, and for an old lady, that was bad enough. She needed help. She was frightened, standing out there in the cold.

Amar said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am.”

Soon he was able to change the tyre. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

She thanked him enough for coming to her aid. Amar just smiled.

The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened if he had not stopped.

Amar never had thought about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need.

Amar told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed.

The lady drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Amar.

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: "You don't owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you.

If you really wanted to pay me back, the next time you saw someone who needed help, you should give that person the assistance they needed.”

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

When she reached home, she told everything to her husband "Amar Prasad”.

As her baby was due in next month and they had not enough money, this became a great help.

 

Lesson:

Loving service always comes back as love. And such exchange of love is more sweeter than the exchange of payment.

Very long ago, there lived a huge apple tree offering tasty apples to the people. A little boy became close friend to the apple tree. The boy used to play with the tree, climb the branches, sleep under the shadow, pluck apples, etc. Every day he visited the tree, and ate apples. The apple tree was so kind to the boy and enjoyed spending time with the little boy.   The boy joined school and could not spend any time with the apple tree. After several months the boy came to the apple tree. The tree was so happy to see the boy and asked him to play with it.   The boy said that he was not a little one to play with the trees. But he had another request to the tree.  The tree asked what he wanted. The boy said that he needed toys to play, but his parents did not have sufficient money to buy toys for him.   The tree replied, ‘Dear friend, I do not have any money to buy toys for you, but you can pick the apples, sell them, get money and buy the t...

Once a father and son went to the kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He too asked his father to get him a kite and a thread with a roller so he can fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son. His son started to fly a kite.  Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky.  After a while, the son said, “Father, It seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, If we break it, It will be free and will go flying even higher.  Can we break it?”   So, the father cut the thread from a roller.  The kite started to go a little higher.  That made a son very happy. But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. And, soon it fell down on the terrace of the unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose of its thread so it can fly high...
