How Shambaru learned the bitter truth

Story by: Selie Visa

Shambaru lived in a village were the main occupation was cultivation. Because of the fortunate location of his land, irrigation was good. With a few cows and buffaloes, he would prepare the fields for sowing. During harvest, the quality and the quantity of his produce surpassed all other villagers. The villagers never stop commenting how lucky he was. The village community belongs to the middle class. But over the years it became the general idea that Shambaru was more well off than the rest of the villagers.

The story goes that one day Shambaru saw a luxury car passing his village. It actually might have been any ordinary car because luxury cars don't come to those remote parts.

Seeing the car changed him drastically. He started to give up traditional garments and opted for costly western clothes. With his new lifestyle, his little savings in the bank also started decreasing. Shambaru was still unsatisfied because he thought that without a car he would never look like a rich person. He went to the bank and took a heavy loan and bought the car. Driving around in his new car he felt excited. He was turning heads everywhere he went in his car. Some elders of the village warned him about cutting the coat according to cloth. But he paid little attention.

But soon reality struck and he realised his great blunder. The bank demanded the installments of the loan. He didn't have any money to pay the installments. The bank took back the car and even his house. With no saved money in the bank, he cannot start a new beginning because the money he saved was meant to purchase seeds at very low rates offered by the government.

This story of Shambaru teaches us that we should cut the coat according to our cloth.
