Thieves, But Honorable

The Pakistani poet and writer Adeeb Mirza

Wrote in his book The Lamp says, "I went to Delhi in the 1960s to work, and one day I got off the bus
and searched my pockets, I was surprised that someone had stolen me.

And it was only nine rupees in my pocket when I was looted, and a letter in an envelope that I had
written to my mother “my affectionate mother!! I'm fired, I can't send you this month the usual
amount”.

I had put this message in my pocket three days ago in the hope that I would send it later with rupees
available, although the nine rupees are worth nothing; but who has been dismissed; His money was
stolen equally to these rupees in his view 9,000 rupees!!..

Days ago, I got a message from my mom, I was afraid, and I said to myself: She must have asked for the
amount I used to send her, but when I read the letter I guessed that she bore her thanks and prayers to
me, saying: "You got me 50 rupees through your money transfer, how great you are, son, you send me
the money in time, and you never delay even though they dismissed you from your business, calling for
you to reconcile with your livelihood."

And I've lived wobbly for days, who do you see sending that money to my mom?!! Days later, I received
another barely-read handwritten message, in which the owner wrote

I got your address from the circumstances of the letter and I "added to your nine robes, forty-one
rupees I had previously collected; I sent her a money transfer to your mom according to the address of
your letter, and honestly, I thought of your mom and my mom, and I said to myself, "Why is your mom
dumping her days on hunger and taking your guilt and her guilt?" Greetings to you I am your owner who
pulled you on the bus so forgive me

Conclusion:

Sometimes we may come across a thief that is much more honorable than those who raise slogans in
fact that are skimmed if they are not fake slogans!!
