Irony of Fate
Raghav was an old man of eighty. His home for the last eight decades had been the Rangpur Railway Station. His parents who were daily labourers worked for the Railways. Raghav was about a year then when a speeding train had run both his parents down.
The orphan was brought up with negligence by the beggars of the station. They gave him what little they could spare. He grew up at the railway station begging and lived in misery. His only possession was a steel trunk lying in one corner . It contained his parents belongings.
Rai was a wagon breaker. He lurked round the station stealing all things he could lay his hands on. At night he would rob the wagons, in the morning he would pick pocket unsuspecting passengers.
The police could never catch him as they could not trace the place where he hid the stolen things.
Rai was as sly as a fox. He had noticed Raghav's old, caste away trunk. He hid all his things there.
One day Raghav passed away in his sleep. As soon as his body was taken, Rai disguised as a middle aged man and stormed into the station. Claiming to be the beggar's only son he took away the steel trunk. Rai was very happy to have hood winked the police.
But the police were cleverer than he expected. They had secretly taken Raghav into confidence and make him their spy and placed a transmitter in his trunk. Through it they tracked down Rai and caught him finally. What an irony of fate!
