A Glass of Milk

As Hari walked home after school one day, he suddenly felt faint with hunger and knew his
mother would not have any food ready for him at home. He grew desperate and went from
house to house asking for food. Finally, a girl gave him a tall glass of milk. When he tried to
pay her she refused and sent him on his way. Years later, the girl, now a grown woman, fell
very sick and could not find anyone who could cure her. Finally, she went to a large hospital
with the city’s greatest doctor. The doctor spent months treating the woman until she was
finally cured. The woman was happy but was also afraid she could not pay the bill. When the
hospital handed the bill to her, she opened it to read, ‘Paid in full, with a glass of milk’.

Moral of The Story

A good deed never goes unrewarded.
