Do not be stingy in selling food grains | Story time
Business at Peter’s oil shop was in full swing at any time. Peter noticed that more and more customers were coming to his shop and he planned to make more money from them.
So he traded oil and rice with lentils. As Peter expected, business began to grow.
Peter noticed that the business was going well and started selling adulterated oil, rice, pulses etc.
He reduced the weight of one hundred grams to those who bought one kilo of rice. He also reduced the amount of oil and sold it. The evils of Peter’s business system began to be known to the people after a long time.
They all together condemned Peter and demanded him to sell the goods in a fair manner. Peter did not listen to their talk and sold the goods in an unfair manner to gain money.
The villagers had no other choice but to buy goods from Peter’s shop as there was no other way to buy goods.
Peter’s aim was to raise money without realizing the plight of the public.
One night, thieves broke into Peter’s shop. They took all the money, rice, pulses and oil from the shop.
The next morning the villagers all gathered in front of Peter ‘s shop. Knowing that all his belongings had been stolen, Peter ran towards the shop screaming.
Beating in the mouth and stomach “Aw… Mom ..!” he began to cry. The villagers laughed when they saw it.
When they saw Peter, they said, “Peter! If you have done business honestly you would not have lost your belongings!
Because you deceived us and made money unjustly, your belongings was unjustly stolen, and from now trade fairly and survive.” Peter also accepted the advice of the villagers.
Justice: Being honest is something important in life.
