A Business Man and a Burglar

Long ago there lived a business man. One night the business man “Jay was resting on his bed with his eyes closed but he was not getting sleep as he was worried of some matter thoughts were arising in his mind like tidal waves……

It was late at night suddenly, the business man Mr. jay heard some  kind of noise in the house he opened his eyes and noticed that a man was collecting some things on a sheet Jay continued to lie silently. The burglar collected a lot of stuff and proceeded to make a bundle…

However, the sheet was two short for the amount of goods he had assembled. The burglar tried his best to tie the knot but to on avail. there was no other large enough sheet in sight……. So for a moment the burglar paused to examine his next move.

Mr. Jay was watching the burglar’s the bed…… he said to the burglar. Brother don’t worry. I will help you in securing the knot “On hearing this the burglar was surprised he started to escape but the business man said don’t be afraid, you intended to do a big favor to me. I have accumulated a lot of stuff in my house.

I do not need much of it. You are helping me in relieving my burden. These goods will be useful to you. I will always be grateful to you for this favor, these words of the jay made a great impact on the burglar’s heart. He said please no I will not take anything, the business man said lovingly, son you must take this material you have assembled it with considerable labour. How can you learn it here? Saying this the business man got up and tied the bundle.

The bundle was heavy, so he helped the burglar in lifting it and back farewell to the burglar when entire story to his mother. She was surprised and said

My son what did you do the man whom you have robbed is not a human being., he is an angle go back return his material, and ask him to pardon you.

The burglar had been touched even before being warned by his mother….

On her advice, he returned to the business man residence and placed the bundle at his feet , with tears in his eyes, he urged, please  keep your goods and forgive me, I take a vow that I will never steal anything in the future.

The business man jay picked him up and said dear what ever you see in my home is earned by me with lot of efforts you are good person instead of robbing you work hard and earn some money, I have a farm house . today onwards you  take care of it ……
The burglar kept his words and started working.

BAD CAN ALSO BECOME GOOD IF GUIDED PROPERLY WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION.
