A 6 year old boy was going to the market with his 4 year old younger sister.
Suddenly he felt that his sister was left behind.
He stopped, looked back and saw that his sister was standing in front of a toy shop looking at something.
The boy comes back and asks the sister, "Do you want anything?" The girl points to a doll by raising her finger.
The child holds her hand, like a responsible big brother gives the doll to his sister. Sister became very happy.
The shopkeeper was watching all this, he was surprised to see the behavior of the child.
Now the child came to the counter with his sister and asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this doll cost?"
The shopkeeper was a calm and deep person, he had seen many ups and downs of life, he asked the child with great love and affection,
"Tell me son, what can you give??"
The child takes out all those shells from his pocket and gives them to the shopkeeper, which he and his sister had picked from the beach a while back.
The shopkeeper takes all that and counts it as if someone is counting money.
When he started looking at the child after counting the shells, the child said, "Sir, are you missing something??"
Shopkeeper :-" No - no, this is more than the price of this doll, more I will give back." Saying this he kept 4 shells and gave the rest back to the child.
The child very happily kept those shells in his pocket and took his sister along with him.
The worker of that shop was watching all this, he asked the owner with surprise, "Owner! You gave such an expensive doll in exchange for only 4 shells?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile of satisfaction, "It is only an oyster for us but it is very valuable for that 6 year old child and now at this age he does not know what money is?
But when he grows up...
And when he remembers that he had bought a doll for his sister instead of shells, then he will definitely remember me, and then he will think that,,,,,,
"The world is too full of good people."
This will help in developing a positive attitude in him and he will also be motivated to become a good human being.
