Before India gained independence (獨立), a few young men from the villages wanted to free India from the foreign rule; they wanted the British to quit India. They needed material wealth to
36 the British out of India, so they started collecting
37 in the Indian villages.
One day, they got encouraged to collect
38 things as well. They went from door to door carrying a huge bag, which gradually was
39 with money and gifts. As they went, a one-legged beggar kept
40 them. The young men did not mind.
At the
41 of the day, they entered a house to see
42 they had collected. The beggar also wanted to enter, but since he was not a member of the group, they did not
43 him in. The beggar said to them: “I walked such a
44 distance right behind you. You want freedom; I also want freedom. India is not only your motherland. It is also my motherland.”
45 , the young men got mad and told the beggar to go away. Then one of the men felt
46 for him, so they decided to
47 him the things they had collected.
48 the beggar was looking at the gifts in their bag, most of them were showing no
49 for him. Then suddenly the beggar opened up the bag that he had been carrying. It
50 a few coins and some rice. He threw all the contents into their bag at once.
At the
51 of this, immediately all the members of the revolutionary group started dropping
52 of gratitude (感激), because he had
53 all that he had to their cause. On that day, they had gone to visit so many rich families, who had given them next to
54 ; but this beggar had given them everything that he had! They were deeply
55 by the beggar’s contribution.
