One day while passing by a junk shop I spotted a really good desk. It was rusted though, I bought it. Back home I tried to open it to keep my pens. It got stuck, after much trial I succeeded. On pulling a drawer I discovered a secret drawer. I when searched the secret drawer found a book, a book I wanted for years, the book for which I was saving money. I rushed to my mom to seek permission to keep it.
“No, The person must be searching for it.”Mom said
I reluctantly went to find the junk shop.
I asked the shopkeeper the address.
He said “Wait a second. Yes go straight from here about half a kilometre. The lady lives in a giant blue coloured bungalow.
On my way I was saying to myself “how I wish I could keep it.”
Absent-mindedly I knocked the door. After a while a women opened the gate , instantly I recognised her and hugged her yelling “Anoushka Aunty.”
I told my aunt about the desk. She said “that desk was mine but was very old so I decided to sell it. You wanted that book so I bought it as your birthday gift but forgot to take it out from the drawer before selling it.”
When I went back home I narrated this incident to my mom too. She said “whenever you do something good something equally good will happen to you”
I didn’t do it for something good but only to satisfy my mom but after I gave it back I felt the pleasure which I wouldn’t have felt if I had kept it. That feeling was really good. Mom was right as she always is.
PS: I got that book as my birthday gift as well as another book as a reward.
