Ramchand and Premchand were neighbours. Ramchand was a poor farmer. Premchand was a landlord.
Ramchand used to be very relaxed and happy. He never bothered to close
the doors and windows of his house at night. He had deep sound sleeps.
Although he had no money he was peaceful.
Premchand used to be very tense always. He was very keen to close the
doors and windows of his house at night. He could not sleep well. He was
always bothered that someone might break open his safes and steal away
his money. He envied the peaceful Ramchand.
One day, Premchand call Ramchand and gave him a boxful of cash saying,
“Look my dear friend. I am blessed with plenty of wealth. I find you in
poverty. So, take this cash and live in prosperity.”
Ramchand was overwhelmingly happy. He was joyful throughout the day.
Night came. Ramchand went to bed as usual. But, to-day, he could not
sleep. He went and closed the doors and windows. He still could not
sleep. He began to keep on looking at the box of cash. The whole night
he was disturbed.
As soon as day broke, Ramchand took the box of cash to Premchand. He
gave away the box to Premchand saying, “Dear Friend, I am poor. But,
your money took away peace from me. Please bear with me and take back
your money.”
Moral: Money can not get everything. Learn to be satisfied with what you have and you will always be happy.
