Who is a beggar ?

                                    Who is a beggar ?

Rahul is in love with Meera. Rahul is the only son of a rich man who is having royal background. Rahul's ancestors were kings.
But Meera is the daughter of a poor father. When both of them expressed their wish to get marry, protests were mainly from Rahul's side.
Rahul's parents didnt like the idea of Rahul marrying a girl who dont match to their level. But Rahul was adamant.
Finally Rahul's parents had to agree for their son's wish. Rahul's father went to Meera's house with marriage proposal.
That time, Meera's father asked for a promise from Rahul's parents. That is , whatever Meera does, Rahul's parents must look into the matter before saying anything to Meera.
Rahul's parents agreed. Marriage took place. Meera came to house as daughter in law. Slowly, she got adjusted to the customs of house.
One day, it was the afternoon time. All were having meal. That time, a beggar stood infront of house and asked for food as he was hungry.
He shouted many times in order to draw the attention. But no one moved from their dining table. Meera went outside and said to beggar " In this house, everyone is deaf. We are having foul food. How can we give it to you? Please go away ! "
Rahul's father heard what Meera said. He was very angry. But he remembered his promise to Meera's father. He managed to keep his cool.
Finally, he met Meera and asked for the reason for her saying. Meera explained " Beggar was shouting since a long time. But no one moved from their place. So, I said everyone is deaf. We are having the profits of our ancestors have made. We didnt do anything by ourselves. The food we eat, is also by their saved money. Hence I said we are having foul food. "
Rahul's father understood what Meera try to say and decided he will work till he is able to work .
