The Shepherd who passed away
In a village there lived a poor woodcutter. He always cut wood, sold them and got a little bit of money to survive. One day when he was walking on his way back home, he found a boy begging for money. So the woodcutter felt sorry for the boy and adopted him, but the worst thing was that the woodcutter didn’t have enough money to feed the boy.
One day he saw Sridevi, his friend who was also a poor woman. The woodcutter ran towards Sridevi calling out ‘Sridevi’.
‘What do you want?’, asked Sridevi.
The poor woodcutter cried, ‘I have adopted a boy but I don’t have enough money to feed him’.
‘Dear woodcutter please do not cry. I will take the boy along with me and provide him with food and water’.
‘Are you sure?’, asked the woodcutter.
‘Yes’ told the lady.
The next day the woodcutter brought the boy along with him and gave it off to the lady. But the lady instead of treating the boy well made him a shepherd who had to take care of sheep. The lady never provided the boy with food nor water. The boy who starving with hunger passed away. The next day the lady went to the woodcutter narrated the whole story.
‘What?!!’ screamed the woodcutter and lead a sad life.
