The self-reliant boy

                                  The self-reliant boy

  There was a famous singer who ruled the world of music. One day, a poor boy came to her. On being asked, the boy replied that his mother was ill and did not have money for treatment as she was the sole bread-winner of the family and as she could not go to work, she could not earn her daily wages also.
" Do you want money ? How much ? Tell me, I will give you"- said the singer.
" Thanks, I don't want to take money without doing anything. I have written a poem. Please sing that in your concert. After that whatever you consider proper, give me. That is enough."
The singer was very much impressed by the words and conduct of the boy. Next day in her concert ,she sang the poem written by the boy. The beautiful song couched in touching words of ennobling feelings set in the sentiment of pathos was so sweet and melodious that the audience were transported to a divine realm for some moments. They were so much moved by the soulful song that most of them came forward to give awards in cash and kind as a token of love to the singer. Whatever she got  the singer took and went to the boy's house and gave to him for his mother's treatment.
