A Cup Of Milk

 Long ago, in a village, there lived a  small and kind boy. He had no one to take care of him as he was very very poor. His name was Peter. Peter did odd jobs to earn money. One hot sunny day, Peter was very hungry and decided to go to the village houses to beg for at least a cup of water. Peter hate his luck. He kept on walking till he reached a well white - washed bungalow. Peter knocked the door. A young trader opened the door. Peter elaborated what he wanted . The young man agreed. But he took pity on the young little boy who seemed as if he would faint any moment because of hunger. So, instead of water, The young trader donated Peter a cup of milk. Peter at first, hesitated but then took the offer. 



Many many years passed. The same trader fell sick and did not recover. The doctors tried there best. But the man did not recover. One evening, a doctor challenged to try his best. Day and night, the poor doctor sat by the trader's bedside. Finally, the trader recovered from illness . Then , the trader was about to return home when a terrible thought struck his mind !! "How will I repay the bill?! It must be a great amount!!😨' The next moment, The trader called out to the servant . But...someone had already payed the bill..!!!!

You know who it was?? Beside the payment, there was written as - [Paid by a cup of milk].The trader was really awestruck! It was the little boy Peter!😃
