Question

Complete the story:-
How foolish I was to have believed that young man's story.........

Answer 1

I was once waiting at the bus stop for my bus. A fairly well dressed man was standing next to me. As he got talking, I noticed the right sleeve of his shirt lying loose. He told me that he did not have one arm and that he had lost it a few years back in an accident. It had also cost him his job. He asked me if I could lend him some money and give him my address. He said that he would repay it to me in a couple of days after he met his uncle who had got him a job. Everyone looked at me as I gave him a Rs.500/- note from my wallet.

A month passed and I had not seen him. In fact, I had almost forgotten about him. One day, when I was dining with a friend in a restaurant, I saw the same man come in with a girl. The man had both hands and he was swirling a key ring on the index finger of his right hand. I realized that I had been a fool to blindly believe that man’s sob story.

I saw her first near Lala Mouram</p><p>shop. She was standing there calmly, head held high but eyes searching for something</p><p>I would not have noticed, had my bike not punctured at exactly the same spot. She</p><p>looked worried. I went up to her and asked her if she had any problem. She was</p><p>quiet. I coaxed her and eventually, she told me that she had come for an interview</p><p>to our city. She slept off in the bus and had woken up suddenly at the stop. In the</p><p>rush, she had forgotten one of her bags in the bus and that bag had her wallet</p><p>in it. I told her not to worry and told her that the bus would be back at that stop</p><p>by 4 p.m. I also assured her that the people here are honest and whoever finds it</p><p>would return the wallet. She seemed relaxed and started to move. However,</p><p>I felt bad for her and offered her some money. She seemed indignant and I had to</p><p>coax her to take it. I gave her my card and said, "Take it as a loan. You can return it</p><p>when you get your wallet." Saying this, I gave her 250 rupees and went ofl, happy at</p><p>helping someone in need. I never heard again from the lady. I had almost forgotten</p><p>the incident until I saw her again. She was there, at the same spot. This time talking to</p><p>Mr Shah, one of my neighbours. I was angry but decided to act wisely. I walked up</p><p>to them and wished Mr Shah. The young woman seemed terrified seeing me. I asked</p><p>her, if she had found her wallet.

We threatened her with dire consequences, if she is seen around again</p><p>Mr Shah thanked me for saving him and his money that he had withdrawn to pay his</p><p>wife's hospital bill. I smiled and went of thinking how foolish I was to have believed</p><p>that young woman.</p><p>..$
