Raju was a little boy who was born
in a poor family. He wanted to get an education but his
financial
condition did not allow him to do so. He remained illiterate and so did not
have any means of
earning. He took to pick-pocketing and small thievery. One day, he was caught red-handed for pick-pocketing. Since he was only
thirteen, he was sent to juvenile prison where he was
forced to do lessons. He had no interest in them and the compelling behaviour
of the prison-people made him sullen and rebellious. It was only during the recreation
hour that he seemed to be his normal self. One day he watched a French comic film on T.V. He was
fascinated with the French language and wanted to learn it He requested the prison authorities for
coaching classes in French. They agreed to his proposal as they were themselves interested in making
him learn something so that he
could be self-dependent. Raju showed a keen interest in learning the language
and in a very short period, had acquired a mastery over the language. Raju was set free after two
years. He had already decided to use the French language as his means of earning. He became a
French tourist guide and started leading an honourable life. He forgot all about his past and is
happy these days for the sudden but
positive turn in his life. He has set an example for others that man is a
master of his own destiny.
