Once there lived a farmer who had a few acres of land. With that, he could barely support his family. One day he was walking through a field and thinking about how he could add to his income. Suddenly, he saw a purse lying beside the field. He picked the purse up and found a lot of money in it.

Honesty of a Rickshaw Puller
Piash was a poor rickshaw puller. He earned his bread at the cost of his honest sweat. He did not like to be a rich man overnight. But his wife Jarina was very greedy. One day while he was returning home with his rickshaw, he found a small leather bag in his rickshaw. At home he opened the bag and found 10 lakh taka inside the bag.
Dancing with joy, she asked Piash to hide the money so that nobody could see or know about it. But Piash refused to do so. He remembered the house where he dropped his last passenger and set out for the house with his rickshaw. He reached the house and pressed the calling bell. The gateman wanted to drive him out saying that Mr. Samad was almost mad after losing his money. Then Piash said, “Please tell him I have a good news for him.” The gatekeeper conveyed the message. Mr. Samad came out running and Piash gave him the bag. Finding his money intact, Mr. Samad took him in his living room. He gave Piash some money and appointed him the caretaker of his house at a monthly pay of taka 8,000.
