A Generous Work of a Housemaster
In a lavish mansion resided a destitute young girl named Rina, who worked as a domestic servant. Although the housemaster was benevolent towards her, his wife was rather harsh and treated Rina with contempt. On one unfortunate day, while Rina was serving tea, she accidentally broke a delicate teacup which enraged the mistress. In a fit of anger, she mercilessly berated and punished Rina, depriving her of food for two days. The condition of the hapless maid deteriorated rapidly.
Witnessing the pitiful state of Rina, the housemaster was filled with remorse and compassion. Driven by his generous nature, he took Rina to a physician for medical attention. After Rina had recuperated, the magnanimous man resolved to find her a new job where she could work without fear of mistreatment. He reached out to a friend who owned a clothing factory and requested him to offer Rina a job in his establishment.
One day, the housemaster escorted Rina to the garment factory and introduced her to her new colleagues. As Rina was referred by the factory owner, her colleagues welcomed her with open arms and extended their helping hands. Thus, the young girl was rescued from her plight and given a chance to start afresh. The housemaster's act of benevolence was a testament to the adage that even a small act of kindness can bring about significant changes in someone's life.
