Interesting Stories!!

Manoj, who lived in Surajpura village, was a fisherman who used to throw his net in the sea every day and catch and sell the fish he caught. He had two daughters, the elder daughter's name was Meena and the younger daughter's name was Joya, both were very beautiful.

One day Manoj said to his elder daughter Meena - "I am going to catch fish, I will return by noon." Saying this, Manoj goes to the sea. He stands to throw the net in the sea, just then a big and dangerous fish comes out of the water and catches Manoj. Its sharp teeth start tearing Manoj.

Manoj (shouting!) - "Save me! Save me! This fish will eat me, is there anyone?" Manoj starts calling people for help. Some fishermen come and pull Manoj out of the fish's mouth and bring him to the hospital.

Doctor: The fish has bitten Manoj's lower body badly. There are very deep wounds on his body, so now he will not be able to walk. These wounds will take a lot of time to heal and special medicines may have to be used.

Meena: "Doctor uncle! Does this mean that father will never be able to walk?"

Doctor: "I can't say anything! Manoj can walk only if that special medicine is found and it works on Manoj."

Meena and Joya are very sad to hear this. Now Manoj has taken to bed, so fishing stops. Meena starts thinking of going fishing herself to run the house.

Meena to Joya: "Joya! I am going to catch fish, you take care of father, we don't have a boat, father always goes fishing in the chief's boat, I go to the sea and meet him"

Meena goes to the sea with her fishing net and asks Chief for a boat

Chief - "Manoj has not paid the boat rent yet, I had told him to pay the week's rent on the first day of the week, now I will not give you the boat until you pay the old rent"

Meena - "chief !, I don't have that much money right now and a lot has been spent on father's treatment too"

Chief - "I don't know all this, I want my money, I will give you the boat only when you give me the money"

Meena returns home disappointed after listening to the Chief's words

Neighbor Grandmother - "What happened Meena! Why are you getting so worried?"

Meena tells her grandmother everything about the Chief.

Neighbor Grandmother - "Hey! That Chief is greedy, don't worry, everything will be fine"

Meena - "How will everything be fine? How will we manage father's treatment, household expenses? We have to do something to earn money"

Neighbor Grandma - "Meena! You go to our Queen, she is very kind, maybe she can help you in some way?"

Meena comes to the palace and meets the queen and tells her everything, and asks for help from the queen

Queen - "Absolutely! I will definitely help you, I will give you money and then your problem will be solved”

But Meena refused to take the money and said – “My father always says that ‘free money has no value, one should always earn money by working hard, one should never take money without working’”

Queen – “It is a very good thing, I will give you the work of ploughing the land and in return I will give you money”

Meena accepts the queen’s words and takes the plough to the fields to plough. Half of Meena’s field was about to be ploughed when her plough gets stuck in the ground, Meena digs to take it out and finds a gold pot buried in the soil which is full of gold coins, Meena is very happy to see this and takes it to the queen

Meena – “Queen! I found a pot full of gold coins buried in the ground, so I thought of returning it to you, it is your property.”

Queen – “No Meena! I have no right over it, this is the result of your hard work, it is yours, you take it.”

Meena brings home the pot full of gold coins and tells everything to her father and sister, then her father says – “See, the result of hard work is very good.”

Meena and her family are very happy, with that money she pays the rent of the Mukhiya’s boat and buys that boat from the Mukhiya, now that boat is hers, now she will not have to pay its rent. And with the remaining money she gets her father treated and runs her household expenses. All her problems are solved.

Moral of the Story:- "Hard work and fate are not written anywhere, you just need to keep doing your work honestly."
