A poor old man worked hard for the whole week and at the weekend he was able to save five rupees to ful fill the promise to his grand son to but a clay piggy bank to him. He went to the potter shop, buy the piggy bank for his grandson and was enlightened with the vision of smiling face of his grandson. He was running the cycle very fast even beyond his capability just to reach him at earliest possible. In the mid way, passing by the city he felt thursty so he stopped the cycle at a juice bar, crossed the road to drink some water from the road side water tank. Two guys feeling thursty came on a bike, they stopped at the juice bar for some soothing drink. The guy sitting behind just get of the bike and by a chance his foot hit the poor mans cycle. The cycle fall down along with the clothe bag in which the clay piggy was packed. Poor man saw that and rushed to towards the cycle. In all the hurry he just looked into the Bag. Now there was only clay pieces, not a piggy. The guys apologised but in the lost memories the man take his cycle and moved ahead. Dreams of a baby were shattered. Charm of the poor grandfather was all over. Now he was running the cycle but to the slowest possible and thinking about the dull face of little baby who must be waiting at the door to get the long desired gift. Is this destiny? Who is the culprid? The guy who made a hit?, The oldman who didnt park the cycle well?, or the kid who made this demand? Story didnt end here. At the blink of eye the guys realised about the consequence of the lose that they had done. They could feel the pain of the old mans shattered emotions. Immediatly they run to the potter, buy a new clay piggy, followed the old man who was about to be at his home. They stopped him in the way, gave him the piggy and apologised sincerely. Now the situation is turned. Old man was very happy, he started running the cycle at a faster speed to see the little baby waiting for him from so long. boys went back to the work and the things go well. Little kid was happy to have the long desired toy, old man was delightedv to see him smiling, and in heart bleesing the guys. There is only a one step difference between the humanity and ignorance. Its our choice either we want to take that crucial step or we let the things go. So try to cherish the dreams, not only yours but others too. It makes you a human.
