Ravina Sewani

Once upon a time, in a small village in Kenya, there lived a young boy with his step family. Due to the scarcity of water in the village, the young boy awoke early every morning, carried his pot and headed for the stream with the aim of fetching water for himself and his step family. Sadly for him, he alone had to do this task as a routine every morning while his step siblings were given other easier tasks. Yet, the young boy bore no grudge against his step family, loved them and carried out his task, dedicatingly.On his way back from the stream, he met an old man resting under a tree who begged for water to quench his thirst and he gave some water to the old man. He met an elderly woman, a little ahead, who begged for water and so he gave some water to the woman too. This happend almost every time he came back from the stream; meeting people who begged for thirst. His step mother would get angry and torture him for half-filled pots but the buy continued being compassionate.One day, he couldn’t bear the torture from his step mum, so he swore never to give anyone water, but on his way back, he met a man lay by the roadside with injury, begging for water.The young boy remembered his vow – never to give anyone water – but contemplated for a moment and then gave the man some water.When he got home, his step mum noticed the half-filled pots, and this time tortured with more cruelty. As she was beating the young boy, there was a knock on the door. It was the wounded man – a mail deliverer. Apparently, he came from the town with a letter for the young boy. A letter containing a scholarship. The post-man handed the letter to the boy with additional cash gift. He thanked the boy saying that he would have died on the way if not for the boy’s help. Moral:Good deeds towards others never go in vain. They return to us in one way or the other.
