Lomov,the beggar

1
Friends my name is Karan. Today I am going to
tell you a story about a beggar, Lomov.
2
In a city lived a beggar named Lomov. He never
worked and liked begging to fill his stomach.
Feeling very hungry. What to do? Let me knock at
doors of people.
3
Lomov saw the old man who always advised him to
work hard, so he turned to go as soon as possible
Good grandfather I am hungry and sick. If I dont
beg, I have to die of starvation.
Hey Lomov I am talking to you dear son. Havent
you given up the habit of begging still?
4
As usual the old man started giving Lomov pieces
of advices and Lomov listened silently but said
nothing.
Ok good man, first let me fill my stomach by
begging food, then I will think upon it.
See you are healthy and young. You can cut wood
and get money by selling them in market.
5
Lomov was fed up of his life as he had no
possession and nothing to be called his own.
How happy are these people! A home to live in and
food to eat but I have nothing.
6
Lomov decided to start working and earn money.
He was determined to do something to improve his
ways and life.
The old man says rightly that I should work, it
may be my life change for better. I become a man
of any worth.

It so happened Lomov met Mr. Johnson who was in
look for a man who could chop wood for his fire
place.
Hello, can you chop wood for me? I would give you
wages and food.
Oh good Sir, I shall be obliged if handsomely
paid.

Lomov changed a lot, he shaved daily,wore clean
clothes and had enough food. He built a hut of
his own and all people praised him for his
quality of working hard.
Its better to earn money through own labour.
Today I can walk with some dignity at least.
