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
