34. A Wicket Man and His Fate

A Wicket Man and His Fate

There was a great rich man who lived in a village. He had a lot of property. His building was just like a  palace. He had many servants to maintain his household work. He lived his life very simply. He behaved with his neighbors very normally. He honored them very much and he was respected very cordially.

One day he wished to invite some of his friends to his house for a feast. He ordered his servants to decorate his house and around the house with colorful light. He arranged delicious food for them. He employed the best cook who was hired from the town. The cook cooked biryani, kofta, beef, mutton, chicken, and many other kinds of vegetables except fish. He announced to the people for a big fish. He also declared a handsome reward for the man who will give him the fish. Among the villagers, a fisherman came to give the fish to the rich man. But on his way, a gatekeeper of the rich man's house told him if he did not give him 50% of the reward that the fisherman will take from the rich man then he would not give the permission of access. The fisherman agreed to his demand. 

When the fisherman gave the fish to the rich man, the rich man was very happy with the fisherman. When he wanted to give the amazing reward to the fisherman, then he refused the reward. The rich man was surprised. He wanted to know the reason for refusing to take the reward. The fisherman told the rich man that he was promised by one of the gatekeepers of this house that let me give him half of the reward. So, I want hundred times whipped instead of a handsome reward. Listening to the fisherman, the rich man realized the fact. According to the demand of the gatekeeper, the rich man whipped him fifty times and go him out of his house for his bad deed. After this incident, the rich man gave a hundred gold coins to the fisherman that he was announced before.

At last, we have come to know from the above short story that a bad man always suffers for his bad deed. So, all of us should stay far away from the badman.
