One day an old farmer was going through a field. All on a sudden, he found a purse which was full of the pieces of gold. He became wonder-struck when he saw the gold. He was in a fix and could not think anything clearly. He became very happy and began to dream of becoming rich very soon by selling the pieces of gold. So, he took the purse and returned home in an extremely jolly mood. He hesitated to tell his wife why he was so happy. But when his wife insisted, he disclosed the fact to her and told her that they would not remain poor any longer. He described his plans to her and told that he would sell these pieces of gold and thus would become rich.

But as the wife was honest, she said scornfully, "No, you can't do that. It's a sin. You must find the owner and return the purse of gold. I'll help you find the owner." Then the old fanner told her that he would sell only a few pieces of gold and would return the rest to the owner. But his wife did not agree.

Honesty Never Goes Unrewarded: Once there lived a farmer

In a small, rural village lived a poor but worthy farmer who, with the modest income from his meager few acres of land, managed to support himself, his wife and their seven children. As he walked through his fields one day, he pondered his circumstances, realizing that as his children grew older and required more, their family expenses continued to increase. In an effort to brainstorm how he could earn additional funds, he happened upon a purse lying on the ground before him.

Initially, the farmer considered that someone must have lost the purse, and he could not keep it for himself. Nevertheless, he picked it up and opened it, revealing a substantial sum of money inside. Rushing home to share his discovery with his wife, she greedily suggested they keep the money for themselves and use it to better their family's situation. However, the farmer's moral compass pointed in a different direction. He recognized that the money was not rightfully theirs and insisted that they find the owner of the lost purse.

After a few days, the farmer successfully located the rightful owner and promptly returned the lost item, along with its contents. The owner, a very wealthy man, was deeply moved by the farmer's honesty and integrity. Impressed by the farmer's character, the wealthy man appointed him as his caretaker.

Overjoyed by this newfound opportunity, the farmer began his new job with a sense of pride and honor. His honesty had not only earned him the admiration of others, but it had also paved the way for a brighter future. The farmer learned that doing what is right is often rewarded in ways beyond measure, and his unwavering moral compass had led him to a newfound success and prosperity.

এক সময়ের কথা, এক গরিব কিন্তু সৎ কৃষক একটি গ্রামে বাস করত। তার ছোট্ট একটি জমি ছিল, এবং তিনি যা আয় করতেন, তা দিয়ে তার স্ত্রী ও সাত সন্তানকে কোনোভাবে চালিয়ে নিচ্ছিলেন। জীবন ছিল খুবই কঠিন, আর তিনি প্রায়ই চিন্তা করতেন কীভাবে তার পরিবারের জন্য আরও টাকার ব্যবস্থা করবেন, কারণ তার সন্তানরা বড় হচ্ছিল এবং তাদের চাহিদাও বাড়ছিল।

একদিন, মাঠে হাঁটতে হাঁটতে তিনি মাটিতে একটি থলে পড়ে থাকতে দেখলেন। থলেটি তুলে নিয়ে খুলে দেখেন, ভেতরে অনেক টাকা! তিনি তাড়াতাড়ি বাড়ি ফিরে তার স্ত্রীকে টাকা ভর্তি থলেটি দেখালেন। তার স্ত্রী খুশি হয়ে বললেন, “এই টাকা আমরা রেখে দিই, আমাদের সমস্যাগুলো সমাধান হয়ে যাবে।” কিন্তু কৃষক তা মানলেন না। তিনি বললেন, এই টাকা আমাদের নয়, এটি যার হারিয়েছে, তাকে ফিরিয়ে দিতে হবে।

কয়েকদিন পর, কৃষক জানতে পারলেন যে থলেটি গ্রামের এক ধনী মানুষের। কৃষক যখন টাকাটা ফিরিয়ে দিলেন, ধনী ব্যক্তি খুবই খুশি হলেন এবং কৃষকের সততায় মুগ্ধ হলেন। কৃতজ্ঞতা জানাতে তিনি কৃষককে তার দেখাশোনার চাকরি দিলেন। কৃষক সেই কাজটি গ্রহণ করলেন, এবং কিছুদিনের মধ্যেই তার পরিবার সুখে দিন কাটাতে লাগল।

এই গল্পটি আমাদের শেখায় যে সততা সবসময় ভালো ফল বয়ে আনে। যদিও কৃষক ছিলেন গরিব, তার সততাই তাকে সুখ এবং সফলতা এনে দিল।
