Story enshrining the message kindness pays
Answers
One day Sachin went trekking on the hills. He took some foodstuffs and water with him. On the way he saw a dog who was limping. Sachin sat down near the dog and lifted his foot to see what was the problem. He saw that there was a thorn in his paw. He gently removed the thorn and then gave the dog some biscuits.
Then as he was climbing the hill, some birds, squirrels, rabbits and monkeys started running around him. He took out some nuts and eatables and gave it to them. He patted them and moved forward.
In this way he climbed up the hill showing kindness to all the creatures on the way. It was almost 4 o'clock in the evening by the time he reached the top. He sat there for sometime and watched the beautiful sunset.
After that he started coming down the hill. He was in a hurry because it was becoming dark. He did not see a big stone in the way, his leg hit the stone and he fell down. He could not get up because his ankle got hurt.
He was all alone. It was becoming dark. Just then one of the monkeys saw him from a tree. Sachin had given him something to eat while he was climbing up. So the monkey had become his friend. He went and informed the other creatures to whom Sachin had shown kindness while going up.
The dog went home to his master and barked loudly. The master followed him and came near Sachin. He helped Sachin to come down and took him home. Sachin realized how the kindness shown to the animals had helped him in the time of need.
