One day, he met Anil during a wrestling match. Anil was a twenty-five-year-old man who was leading his life casually. He was a struggling writer .Hari deceived Anil by asking him for some work.
Anil offered Hari to cook in his house and also taught him reading and writing.
One day, Anil got a bundle of notes for his published articles. He kept the money under his mattress and Hari noticed this. During midnight Hari stole the money kept under the mattress. He immediately left for the railway station to board a train to Lucknow. Unfortunately, he missed the train and wandered across the streets. As it was pouring heavily, he got drenched completely.
Hari Felt agitated and regretful for stealing money from an honest man who taught him how to read and write his name and add numbers. Suddenly, Hari Singh decided to return to Anil. he kept the money (which was wet due to rain) back in the same place. The following day, when he woke up he found Anil was normal as usual. Hari was offered fifty rupees and said that he had rightfully earned it. Anil further said that he would pay Hari regularly.
Anil was aware of his misdeed the previous night, but he still didn’t treat him with disgust or hand him over to the police.
On the contrary, Anil promised to teach Hari how to write full sentences.
After this incident, Hari Singh was filled with gratitude and respect for Anil and he decided to mend his ways and become a noble human being like Anil.
