The Poor Man's Virtue
Kiran was a poor farmer. He had only a small piece of farm. He grew whatever he could in that land. He was also very kind. He used to go daily nearby temple and give offering to the god.
Once, he took two apples to the temple. When he was about to go to temple, a sanyasi stopped him and said, "i am so hungry. Can you give me something to eat?" Kiran gave him two apples to the sanyasi without any hesitation.
The sanyasi asked, what will you offer to God now?" Kiran answered, if these apples can quench your hunger, that too is service to God."
The sanyasi was very pleased with the honestly and kindness of Kiran that he bestowed many boons upon him and made him a very rich man. Even then, Kiran continued his charity.
Moral: Honesty pays Goodness
