Auto-rickshaw driver and his honesty

 Auto-rickshaw driver and his honesty

One fine morning, an auto-rickshaw driver, who was in torn clad and scattered hair, collided the auto into a car due to some technical problem of his auto-rickshaw. The driver started searching for the car owner. But he could not find him, even asking people nearby. So he was waiting for one and a half hours at that place. Then, the car driver came and got shocked at the car accident. After meeting the auto Wala, he immediately called his master and reported the whole incident. The master called his driver and the auto driver at his factory office.

But he was surprised by the auto driver’s character and honesty as he was waiting for the driver after hitting the car. In life and the world, it was seen and observed that the people liked running away after hitting others and vehicles on the road. But that man seemed to be a man of value and principles. Therefore the car owner was eager to see him.

As soon as they both reached the factory and came into the office where the owner was sitting. He asked the auto Wala,

“What to do for such massive accident and expensed of the car repairing?”

The auto Wala humbly said that he was indigent and had no money at that moment.

On hearing him, the owner suggested to him, 

" You should give me ten thousand rupees. I would take care of repairing and expenses."

But the auto Wala dejectedly responded,

 “Sir, I don’t have ten thousand rupees now, but I can leave my auto at your factory and bring money within three or four days. Then I will take my auto.”

On listening to the words of torn clad man, the owner stood at his place and emotionally said,

“Not take tension Bhai, take your auto and enjoy your life. But have a cup of tea with us.”

At the time, the auto Wala asked him why he had called him if he would not take money. Over that, the car owner told him that he wanted to see the man of honesty and principle.

Before leaving the auto Wala, the owner asked him what his name was.

He said, “My name is Ibrahim.”

The car owner remembered the old lines of a book,

“Humanity is not the heritage of any caste or community. It is the consciousness of the whole human race."
