It happen a day ago, I was on my way home, walking with my friends. Suddenly, an old man approached us asking, "Young lads, would you mind helping me by giving some few pennies because I want to have a cup of tea?"
Rain started, we sheltered under a grocery shop near us. A tea vendor shouting, " Garam Chai, Chai Lelo." We were four of us and we bought 4 cups first but again the old man asked for a cup of tea.
Anil one among us said to the man, " Get off ! you oldie." We started to chat all sorts of things from upside down again. I felt quit sad so do Nirmal for the old man. I offered him a cup of tea. The old man started to take sips out of the glass cup.
He took out 4 tiny packets of biscuits and handed to us saying, " I went to a dog shop to sell my dog and the owner of the shop gave me 500. I managed to survive for 9 days. I was left 20 rupees and I bought 4 packets to eat them for 4 days. You young fellows offered me a cup of tea in this rainy evening when I needed tea the most."
We were shocked after listening this. I asked the man why he had sold his dog. He cried and replied, " I'm dying. I have blood cancer. It's the dog who is my best friend. I love him so much that's why I had to send him away." We gave him some money but he refused.
You see in life, we may be having so many people around us as friends but there are a few among them who will be always by your side. The kindness is airborne, you don't need any explanation for kindness.
