One day,there was a youngman traveling on a bus. He felt thirsty and got off at a station in search of water. However, before he got back to the bus, it had left. The man decided to find a place for a day's stay. He went to the nearby hotels to ask for a room but found none.
At last he reached a small house. He asked the owner of the house whether he could stay in her house for a day. The owner agreed. On that day the owner served him food and gave him a room to stay in, but did not ask for or expect anything in return.
At night when it was about eight o'clock, the gentleman heard a knock at the door. The owner opened the door. A well-dressed man entered and asked the owner to pay.
The gentleman came to know that the owner was in need of money. The next morning he left some money and a note on the table in the room and left.
Soon the owner saw the money. Beside the money, there was a note. It said, "You helped me but did not expect anything from me. Yesterday I heard the conversation between you and the stranger and come to know that you were in need of money. This is what you need."
