memoirs of a school boy... part 1

now i want to narrate a story and i hope it'll make some sense.....

i know of a boy called ram right from his childhood, he was a very naughty boy when he was a kid ,as all mothers do, his mother used to love him very much and his dad was also very friendly... he was 3 yrs old and his parents decided to admit him into a school and they chose st andrews high school.. ram was the naughtiest boy in the class but very bright too.. his mother used to train him in his subjects in d house and he had a very good time in the school,, den one day it was his birthday , birthdays are very special especially for kids.. he started off his birthday with a great hug and a kiss from his mom and he was excited about distributing candies to his 30 odd friends in the class... he wanted to select the candies and on the way to school his mom stopped in front of a shop and they went, selected and took candies... but dis 4 yr old guy was surprised and asked his mom " mummy when there are only thirty two friends in my class why did you take 50 chocolates instead of 33?". then his mom replied "i'l tel you in a while beta", and then she took him to a temple in order to offer prayer and seek blessings from god.. after having prasadam and while coming out his mom opened the pack of candies and told ram " i have taken extra candies so that you can distribute these candies to these friends" pointing out to the less privileged ones sitting near the temple,, but ram didn't understand and asked his mom "but they are not my friends mummy and i never play with them", then his mummy told him one of the most important lines which he never forgot " u give these chocolates to these people and you will get even more chocolates back" , the boy dint understand a word his mom said , she explained again " u give something to somebody even though its very small and in return you will get something very big " , still the boy didn't understand a word but he gave away candies as told by his mother... then he went to school and at the end of a happy day at school he came back home and was getting ready to cut the cake .. the grand parents of that boy and some close family friends were invited.. once the cake was cut and the celebration started the first gift he received was from his maternal grandmother.. ram was very happy and was very curious to open the gift wrap but waited till all the others finished giving them.. later he was involved in playing with the children who came for the party .. the party was over and everyone left .. ram felt sleepy but he suddenly remembered the gifts.. other gifts didn't interest him but the one from his grand mother did... he carefully opened the gift wrap and there was a box inside it.. he opened the box and was surprised to see his favourite and the best chocolates it contained .. he was so happy and started shouting in happiness.. he ate one that day and was thinking about how many more days would the contents in the box last.. and finally before going to bed he went to his mom , hugged her with his little soft hands and said "you give something to someone and in return you would get something bigger" and then he kissed his mom good night and dozed off....


for the boy the candies which he gave to the beggars were "something to someone" and the big chocolate box was "something bigger" which he got in return...


there are two important things that we can learn from dis story
1) u give anything and in return am sure you will get something more than what u gave... let it be in terms of luck money gifts or more importantly HAPPINESS
2) this is the most important common fact " CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME"


to be continued.....
