The next morning, he went out to market to buy new toys. On the way Rajesh saw a beggar. The beggar looked pale and hungry. Rajesh was deeply moved to see the beggar. He stopped and asked, “ Why are you begging, uncle?” Tue beggar said, “I have four children. My wife is very sick and no one wants to give me a job because I am uneducated. So I have to beg.” Rajesh’s heart softened. He gave all his money to the beggar and told him to buy medicine for his wife and soke food for his children and returned home.

His parents asked, “Where are toys, Rajesh? Why do you come back empty-handed?” Rajesh told them what really happened. He had a big smile on his face and he said, I have found a new kind of joy. I don’t want toys.” His parents hugged him and blessed him. Rajesh’s heart swelled with happiness.
