Once upon a time there lived a boy named Ali. He lived in a small village Shahjahanpur.
His father died when he was five, and he was the only son of his parents.His mother used to work as a maid in some of the houses in the village for paltry allowance, so the family had to live from hand to mouth. Still, Ali's mother used to imbue in him to always be honest and helpful to others.
Atavistically the boy,Ali, inherited all what was taught to him and was the most helpful boy in village.He was very well liked and appreciated in the village for the same. Anybody who needed any household work called him up and he was always ready to help.
This habit also brought him close enemity to the scallywags at school. They bashed him as he always tried to smother the attacks on any boy who tried to resist their supremacy. Thus, he sometimes thought that this habit of his had bought him more enemies than friends in life.
Then one day,he was rusticated from school because he was letting a student cheat from his copy.
After that day, he decided that he would not help anybody and would mind his owm business.
After that whenever somebody asked for help, he would plainly refuse them. He was not remembered and even welcome anymore. He roamed about in the streets aimlessly day in and day out.
One day, when he was roaming about in the market, he noticed a macabre silence in the market. Surprised, he thought to go back to his home. Just then, he noticed that there was a huge crowd at the corner of the market near the police station. When he enquired somebody about what was happening, he told him that a woman had been hit by a car and she lay there for about an hour asking for help, but nobody did. She had eventually died after the accident. He thought-"It was in her destiny to die. I don't think she would have survived even if rescued."
Suddenly, he had an urge to look at who the unfortunate woman was, only to find his mother, lying lifelessly, and without help.
'If by doing something you make a thousand enemies and even a single good friend, that something is the best one thing in the world!!'
