thats how his fourth birthday went and ram was eagerly waiting for his fifth not only for the party but also for his "give somthing and get somthing bigger" concept and thats how children are... and the special day arrived again after a yearlong wait.. generally the pattern of the birthdays dont change at kids level... its the same old going to the temple v go to year after year, distributing the similar candies to friends, and the boring party in d evng with the same guests and thats exactly how ram celebrated his fifth.. but the difference here was this time he himself gave away the candies at the temple very enthusiastically and this year he got a chocolate box frm his uncle ... more than that box he was glad that his chocolate-candy theory was really working..." time and tide wait for none but its seems like our happy times run very quickly and the less happy ones are too slow but the most anxious times are those wen we wait" for something like ram waiting for his sixth.. but here came the actual twist.. he did exactly the same things but missed a hatrick chocolate box that time as he dint receive one from the guests that evening... ram was very surprised as he believed in his theory and was very confused actually about what went wrong... he was expecting the bigger thing very badly but didnt get one.. den he went to the only person who could solve the puzzle in his mind and asked " momma i did exactly as i did last yr, i distributed sweets near the temple exactly as i did last year but i didnt get my chocolate box momma, i was waiting for it from a....." he couldnt complete sentence as he expressed his disappointment in d form of tears rolling from his eyes...he tried to hide them but they were even smarter as they rushed out his eyes... as always his mom was immersed in d act of consoling the child ...
after the boy stopped crying his mom explained " we should never expect anything in return for the good things we do beta"
just as his mom was about to finish her sentence the boy retorted " but momma it was you only who told that you get something bigger in return after giving something"
"yes i told that to u and that is true beta, but for your fourth birthday you didnt expect anything for the good thing you did and u got ur box.. last year also u were not expecting much..."
"yes but i was keen about whether i would get something big" the son disrupted
" you were keen but you didnt expect that you would get something, but this time you were very sure u would get something and u didnt.. beta remember this,""for the good things we do , better things are bound to happen to us, but dont do good things for getting the better things"" as u did this time, its a very good thing that u did by distributing sweets to children who do not even have a home like us. who cannot celebrate birthdays like wat we do.. who cannot buy cheetos like u do everyday and who cannot play with tazos, isnt it a good thing u did by treating them equally with your friends, how happy they must have felt wen u gave them candies , so dont expect anything wen u do good things beta.. u shud be very happy for celebrating your birthday like dis.. did u understand?"
he nodded a yes and left the room thinking more about the cheetos and tazos sentences which his mother spoke... thinkng about it he slept very quickly that day...
for his next birthday he had all the different things in his mind that his mom told him but wen he saw the children near the temple he forgot everything.. this time he gave away sweets very happily and he also recommended cheetos for them. the difference was that there wasnt a party at his home that day so he too dint expect anything but he was really happy because for the first time he realized that he was doing a good thing and "when you really feel that you are doing somthing good the happiness makes you forget your expectations". so it was a great happy for him at school, as soon as the auto man dropped him at his gate in the evng he found a new thing before his door and as wondering who the awaiting guest inside his home was.. we he went inside, it was his dad waiting with the keys in his hand waitinf to give them to his son... that was the best surprise gift he got till then," the superbike" of every kid
a new "bicycle"
the moral of the story "better things are bound to happen but dont wait for them"
and an even important thing
"u can expect the unexpected things that mite happen for the good and bad things you do, but never their magnitude, so its better off not expecting
