A rich student walking
along with his professor who was known for his kindness. While they were
walking, they saw a coat & pair of shoe on the road side of a poor man who
was working in a nearby factory.
The student said,
“Sir, shall we hide his shoes and let’s see how he will react.” The kind
professor said, “Instead of stealing his shoes, why don’t you keep one gold
coin in each of the shoes?” The student agreed and kept one gold coin in each
shoe. They both hide in the bushes; meanwhile, a poor man came.
While putting his
coat, he slipped one of his legs into the shoe. He felt something hard when he
stepped into the shoe. So he removed and was astonished by seeing the gold
coin. He happily kept it in his pocket. Again he felt the same hardness while wearing
the second shoe and found one more gold coin. He was outburst with happiness,
kneels down and praised God saying, “God, thank you for giving enough money for
my wife’s treatment” and left happily from that place.
The student was deeply
moved by the scene and his eyes filled with tears of happiness. He said, “Sir,
Thank you so much for teaching a great lesson. I understood, it is more blessed
to give than to receive”. They both went happily with great happiness in their
hearts.
