Once, a boy was carrying some wood. While passing a forest, he a saw a hungry old man. Saddened that he couldn’t help the old man, the boy resumed his journey. Further on, he saw a thirsty deer. Not having any water to give, the dejected boy went ahead. Later, he came across a man who wanted to make a fire but he did not have any wood. The boy immediately gave him some of his wood. In return, the man gave him some food and water. The happy boy immediately ran back. He gave the water to the deer and food to the old man. The old man and the deer were highly grateful. Now, one day, the boy fell down a hill. It was none other than the old man who rescued him and the deer who brought some rare herbs to cure him. The boy realised that one good deserves another.
Moral: If you help others, then they will also help you.
