Answer:
Long back, there was a poor man in a village in England. He used to stay in a kuchcha house with his wife and two sons. Every day, he used to go to nearby town to search for some work, but he was not getting anything from last few days. This was making him poorer day by day. Daily, he used to exchange some house item for food.
The poor man was getting poorer by selling his stuff. Everyone in the family was sad at this condition of house.
One day, when nothing else was left to sell, he thought he would give away his sons to some rich person in return of lots of money. He discussed with his wife but the very thought of giving away children made them shiver. He changed his mind and searched for something else to sell in the house. His wife gave some of her clothes, selling which gave them some money which lasted for few days.
Finally, the day came when he decided that he would sell his sons. He took them both and started his journey towards town. Both the sons were so scared and did not want to go. They wanted to stay with his parents. But for poor man, all doors were shut and this was his last resort. He had lost all his hopes.
While they were crossing the jungle, they heard the sound of a man who was getting drowned in the river. He was calling for help, both the brothers ran immediately towards him. They gathered tree roots and stems in no time and saved the man.
The man was very happy and thanked them. Then he got to know about the sad story of poor man and he offered him lots of money as his sons saved his life. He was the king of nearby village. He also gave him the job in his court.
The poor man was so happy and he was feeling guilty too that he thought of selling his sons who in turn got him all the rewards.
Hence, the moral of the story is we should always look towards the positive side. There can be situations where all things are going wrong but as every cloud has a silver lining, every problem has a solution.
