12th Good Deed

There was once a notice pinned on board in the street.

The notice said 'I have lost 15 dinars and I need the money as I cannot afford my living expenses. Whoever found the money, please bring it to this address.'

A man saw the notice among others and decided to take 15 dinars of his own money to this person.

The kind man knocked on the wooden door and an old woman opened its door.

"Greetings oh mother, I have found the money you lost." said the man as he handed over the money.

when the old woman saw this, she started crying and refused to take the money.

The kind man thought that she was happy about getting back her money but then the old woman said "Son, you are the 12th person who has come to my home and claimed to have found my money."

The kind man understood everything about that money and while still smiling gave the money to the old woman ignoring her protests.

As the man was about to leave, the old woman cried out to him "Son, please remove the paper with which you saw this request for I neither placed it there nor am I literate enough to write it. Seeing kind people like you brings me much happiness."
