Once there lived a poor farmer who worked very hard
to maintain his big family.But he could hardly manage two squares meals a
day.One day while working in the field he found a basket. He picked it up and
carried it home. His wife became very pleased to see it. She thought the basket
contain some valuable things. By selling those things, they could overcome their poverty and enjoy
happy days. But the farmer was an honest man. He was not at all interested to
use anything inside the basket. His wife opened it and found fifty thousand
taka in a paper packet covered with some ragged clothes. She told the farmer to
use all the money for themselves. The farmer was in a great problem. However,
he announced in the market that a basket was found by him. The real owner could
take it from him showing/proving his/her real identity. At last the owner was
found. He gave the farmer ten thousand taka being very pleased with him. With
the money the farmer started a small business. In course of time, he became a
rich man. His poverty disappeared and he became a happy man. Thus his honesty
was rewarded.
