Ramesh was one of the many delivery executives who use to work for the food delivery industry. He was tall and thin. He looked like a weak person who hadn’t had their proper meal for many days. Ramesh was from the poor family background. He had lost his father when he was ten years old, his mother use to work as a maid and he had one brother and one sister. He was the eldest among all his siblings. So he had his family responsibility from a young age.

He was working part-time and was also completing his graduation along with it. He wanted a decent lifestyle in which his family could have anything they wanted. Ramesh’s brother and sister use to study in school and they didn’t work.

He use to deliver the food in an old vehicle that belonged to his father. He wanted a new one, but he can’t afford it. Many times the vehicle had stopped during delivery but Ramesh anyhow use to deliver that food on time. But he use to become so much exhausted that he was not able to get ready for the next delivery. He had to take a long break between two deliveries when his vehicle use to stop working properly.

In the morning when he use to leave for work or college, he use to spend ten rupees on poha or idle from a nearby stall, which didn’t fill his stomach but was enough to get him going. He use to leave his house early in the morning and didn’t want to trouble his family members for anything. At lunchtime, he use to have two bananas or a ten rupees meal and the same thing he use to do for dinner. Sometimes he use to have evening tea. He didn’t have any had habits of drinking alcohol or chewing tobacco products. He was a decent boy with dreams.

On the occasion of the companies tenth anniversary, the company had announced an incentive for the delivery executives who had or will be completing their regular 150 deliveries on time and without any customer complaints. Ramesh had completed his 149 deliveries and he was eligible for the incentive if he was able to complete this 1 last delivery. This incentive will be a huge help for Ramesh. He can buy a new vehicle for deliveries and can also solve some of his family problems.

One day when he was going for his last delivery, he saw a man lying on the road with blood coming from his head. People gathered around him were not helping him at all. Ramesh wanted to help that man but if he take that man to the hospital, he could lose his regular deliveries which took him six months to complete. On one hand, he had his incentive and on the other hand the life of that man. He selected the life of that man as he can earn his incentive in coming six or early but once the man losses his life he cannot come back.

Ramesh rushed towards the man and took him to the hospital in an auto. He waited there for 2 hours till the doctor operated on that man. The man was now out of danger but was not awake. When the family of that man came, Ramesh was shocked to see that one of the family members was the owner of the delivery company in which he was working. The man lying in the bed was the father of the delivery company owner. He thanked Ramesh and told him that his father went for a morning walk all alone and it might be a vehicle that had hit him on his way. He is now safe all because of him. He also asked Ramesh how he found his father and if there is anything he can do in return. Ramesh first declined his offer politely and then narrated the whole incident. By listening to Ramesh, the owner of the company found that Ramesh was not in a financially stable condition, and he was also a decent and hardworking boy. So he decided to buy him a new vehicle and also give him the incentive amount.

***********************************************************************

Once upon a time in a large and prosperous village their lived two well-diggers. The village was prosperous as the soil was best for crops and plants to grow and produce a maximum number of fruits and vegetables according to their capacity. The environment and climate of that village were so peaceful and calm that anyone who visits it doesn’t want to return. The domestic animals in that village were also very happy as they were getting the proper amount of food that too with nutritious value and due to which they were producing the best quality of products for the farmers and villagers. There was also no shortage of water in that village as the groundwater in that village was not very deep, if the ground was dug for it they can find water very easily.

In that same village came to two well-diggers Ramesh and Suresh from a nearby village. Both of them were muscular and tough. Perfect people for digging the well and the village was large enough for both of them to get the job and survive.

But they were poor and were making their ends meet as there was little in that profession. The villagers use to pay them according to the level of the well they dig and as the water was not very far away from the earth's surface, they didn’t get enough money to save and prosper. They were just getting their daily bread and surviving to the end of days.

Ramesh, on one hand, was an honest and hardworking man with a positive attitude towards life who use to think that one day all this hard work will pay off and he will settle for sure. On the other hand, Suresh wanted to get rich fast and settle and can do anything to make that dream come true.

There was a bridge at one end of the village with which the businessman and farmers use to cross to go to the bigger cities and also sell their crops and do other business. It was a busy path and many villagers use to cross that bridge once or twice a week.

As many wealthy villagers used that bridge, so Suresh thought of a plan to rob them differently. He used to dig a hole in some way and a little bit near the bridge and whenever anyone tries to cross that bridge used to fall in that hole. As Suresh was strong and well-built, he used to carry them out on his shoulder but in a certain condition that the villagers will have to pay him half of their wealth. The innocent and afraid villagers use to pay him as they wanted their lives to be saved first. Suresh use to close that hole and again dig another whenever needed in a planned manner.

This plan of Suresh worked and he accumulated more wealth and riches to be spent in his entire lifetime. He was living like a king and even trained some apprentice of his to do the same. They use to dig holes and trap villagers from the nearby villages and demand money for the same. They use to give most of the amount to Suresh as he was strong among them and his apprentice was also afraid of him.

One day the apprentices came to Suresh to talk about one of the richest men in the village and how they were not able to trap him in that hole. One by one all the apprentices told the incident to Suresh. Each one of them had tried to make a better hole than the other but was not able to trap that man. That man was Ramesh as he was also well built and trained like Suresh, he use to climb out of that hole without the help of anyone. When Suresh left the village there was only one well-digger left in the entire village and nearby villages. So Ramesh worked very hard day and night and even trained and hired some of his apprentices and made his fortune. Ramesh was now one of the richest people in that village.

But Suresh felt like that his apprentices were not digging the hole too big and deep as till now no one was able to climb out of the hole dug by him. So he took this incident on his ego and didn’t even tell his apprentices about the plan and wanted to show them how the job is done. He worked day and night for five days to dig a hole that was too deep and wide. The trap was too deep that know even he cannot climb out of it. He tried several times to get out of it but it was of no use. In the end, he died due to thirst and hunger.

Moral: Never use your talent to hurt others. Use your strength and intelligence in the right way. Your ego will be the doom of yourself, so be humble and hardworking and one day you will be rewarded
