Once upon a time, there was a king. One day he called his servants and said whenever I say that is great, then give one bag of gold coins to the won whom I praise.
One day the king went for hunting with is soldiers. He went into a forest and an old man planting a tree nearly his house in the forest. The king was confused and thought this man looks very old. He is planting a tree. He must be knowing that he could not eat the fruits of this tree. So why he is planning?
The king order his solders to call the old man to his palace at the end of the day. In the evening old man apprised before the king. The king asked the old man. How many days it will take for the plant to bear fruits that you planted today. The old man thought or a while and replied your majesty the plant that I planted today will bear fruits in 10 to 12 years. Again the king questioned the old man. How many years do you think y8ou can live? The old man relied. Your majesty no one can say. But according to my health today, I think I can live 4 to 5 more years.
Then the king asked there is no way you can eat the fruit of the tree that you have planted today then why so much hard work in planting the tree. At this age you need to take a rest at home. The man said, sir if you have noticed, you must have seen that there were many fruit trees near my house which were planted by my grandfather when he was of my age.
He had also thought like this. Today I and my children would not get to eat the fruits of those threes. Someone else planted a tree yesterday and got to eat the fruits of that tree today. Similarly, if I plant a tree today then tomorrow someone else will get to eat its fruits. That is why it is my duty to plant tree for others today. One should not always think only of himself. After listening to his answer from the old man.
The king became very happy and he spoke spontaneously that is great. As soon as the servants heard this word from king. They brought bags of gold coins and gave it to the old man. The old man said, sir, the tree that I panted today will bear fruit after many years but I have got its fruit today in the form of these gold coins. After listening to these worlds from the old man. It came out to the king’s mouth again spontaneously. That is great that is great.
When the kings servants again heard these words from king mouth two times, they again gave two bags full of gold coins to the old man. The old man took those three bags of gold coins and went back home happily.
If we see in our lives, then we will find that when we do any good deed and do not expect anything in return then one day you will definitely get its reward in the future.
For example, if you plant a tree today then after a few years that three will grow up, other people will sit under its shade and eat tis fruit and then you will get their blessings.
Good deeds can be done in a variety of ways. You can feed poor people, help orphans, teach poor children, help people with disabilities, and help the homeless, plant a tree or you can feed the street dogs. Good deeds done selflessly never go in vain. When you do a good deed selflessly. You will feel the happiness and satisfaction immediately in your heat. The result of your selfless work will be more than your imagination. Therefore, always remember that you have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
