Bouncing deeds

    When Suma reached the bus stop she saw the old man sitting under the tree shaking like a leaf.  She felt sorry for him and thought of giving him something.  She searched her bag and found a ten rupee coin and placed it on his begging bowl. The old man said May God bless you with three times what you have donated. She looked at him surprised for his words. But at the same time her bus arrived and she boarded it. When conductor came near her  she gave him a ten rupee note.  She knew that her fare was  ten rupees and hence she gave him the money. But to her surprise the conductor gave her back money and said "Today being women's day you ladies can have a free travel anywhere today."  Suma was reminded of the beggar's words and gazed at the money for a second.
            At lunch she went to canteen to eat and ordered tiffin. The bill mounted to hundred and ten rupees. She gave a hundred and a ten rupee at the counter and the cashier gave her back ten rupee note. Puzzled she looked at him and he said "today being women's day you ladies get 10% discount on your billing."Again She was reminded of the beggar's words.  Later in the evening her friend Anita came to her and said I am going to Shirdi along with my family. I will not be coming to office for three days " Immediately Suma took out a ten rupee note and asked her to put it in the hundi. But Anita refused to take the money saying that she already had to give Suma twenty she had taken long back and said that she will put a ten in the hundi and returned another ten.Suma was left speechless. She understood one thing for sure.
     What we do to others certainly comes back to us . Beggar's  words were true.
