In a certain Kingdom, the King who was a benevolent Ruler all of a sudden got a good idea..
One such poor man who had become eligible to his piece of land had gone the next day to the King's Court to receive the necessary Documents. There, the ‘physical giver’ while giving the same silently said in the ears of the man,
Afraid and fed up of all this, the next day itself the man decided to move to the neighborhood town hoping for a better treatment and luck there in the next allotment. On the way, as he was passing in front of the land that was taken away from him, he found all the 3 men sitting there and relaxing. They saw the man and casually asked,
- "Why not the landless of my Kingdom be given some land?"
One such poor man who had become eligible to his piece of land had gone the next day to the King's Court to receive the necessary Documents. There, the ‘physical giver’ while giving the same silently said in the ears of the man,
- "Remember, 1/3 of this is mine and the rest alone is yours!"
- “If you want to live there, hand over to me 1/3 of your allotment!”
Afraid and fed up of all this, the next day itself the man decided to move to the neighborhood town hoping for a better treatment and luck there in the next allotment. On the way, as he was passing in front of the land that was taken away from him, he found all the 3 men sitting there and relaxing. They saw the man and casually asked,
- “Where are you going?”
- "My dear! Don’t go anywhere. A mile away there's ours, one more piece of land of dispute. That portion of the land, we'd like to give to you for rent.
- We understand that our King has plans of some more land distribution in this area. At that time we would like to include you again as landless and no one can question here because we 4 are together and none of us will complain. There's no problem. But you should start paying your rent regularly to show that you are landless and equally earn something for us too, OK?”
Painful but true, at least in India.
