Help by animals

                          Help by animals
Ramanna was living in a village with his family. He had a shop which sells sweets. He had pets which are a donkey and a dog. Once Ramanna had lost all his money in business. He came home and started yelling at his wife and children. When asked by the neighbour, Ramanna told he suffered loss in his business and wants to die. His pets listened to this.
They were very loyal to their master. They now know the problem faced by their master and decided to help him. But how? They were wandering in the streets with this thought. Suddenly, they saw a man hiding something under a tree. The man looked like a thief.
Donkey and dog watched him carefully what is he doing . The man didn't pay much attention to the animals watching him. After he left, both of them went near the tree and digged earth there. They found lots of gold coins and jewellary wrapped in a cloth. They thought,by this their master's problems will get solved. They came home with the bounty.
But at that time, their master was searching for them . By seeing them, in a rage he beated both of them mercilessly. He thought it is a waste to feed them as they are not of any use. His pets fled the scene. After his temper cooled down, he began to think what he has done to his pets. He felt shame. Suddenly, he remembered his dog was carrying something.
He went near the dog. Both his pets were sleeping after he thrashed them. The bounty was near the dog. Their master opened it. He saw gold coins and jewellary in them. He thought dog has stolen all these. Then he heard chaos on street. The richman living in same street was shouting that  his house was robbed. All his wealth was stolen by thieves.
Then the man showed the bag he was carrying to rich man. Rich man said these were his property. He thanked the man for finding his lost wealth. As token of gratitude he gave some of his wealth found by man to man himself. By that wealth, man started a new business. He was prospered so his family. He never beated his pets from that day onwards.

  1. digged - dug
    beated - beaten
    otherwise excellent story. There are many in our puranas, itihasas where animals, birds etc have helped their human masters out of love and dedication. Many predictions were also made and some people, like the father of Shakapurusha Shaalivahana who knew bird's language benefitted by knowing the "future"
