Love and kindness
Bholaram was a hard working man. He was a farmer. His daily chores consisted of waking up early and working on the farm. He also used to grow vegetables in his backyard and sold it to customers in the local farmer's market, every Friday.
Bholaram was married and had three young children. He made sure that his wife and children never went hungry. He led a contented life.
One day, he awoke to the noises of people speaking. He found that a family had moved into the house next door. He welcomed them and went on his way. His wife went over to meet the new neighbors. The lady was dressed in modern clothes and did not seem to mind the shabby looking farmer's wife. She did not even speak to the wife who, by now was very sad and had gone back to her house.
Time went by and the neighbors did not keep in touch with the farmer and his family. One day, the posh neighbor came running to the farmer's house. She was in distress. Her husband had gone on an official tour and her rations had got over. She did not know how to drive a car and go to the nearby town to buy groceries. Her baby was crying for food and she did not know what to do.
The farmer and his wife were compassionate people. They pacified her. The farmer's wife took milk, food and some rations and accompanied the neighbor to her house. The baby was fed and Bholaram's wife also made sure that her neighbor ate the food. The lady felt remorseful and pleaded for forgiveness. Bholaram and his wife were happy that the neighbor was a changed person. The husband who had gone on a tour came back and thanked Bholaram. He also made sure that his company which was in the retail market chain bought organic produce from Bholaram for a good and fair price.
