Hard Work Gets Rewarded

Hard Work Gets Rewarded

Once there was a village named Santhana. Due to lack of rainfall, the village was suffering of water scarcity problems.There was neither water to drink nor to cultivate food. People in the village arranged for a meeting and they decided to move to another village.

Surya was one farmer in that village. He is a confident and hard working person. He told the village people, " We will dig a new well in the land near our village temple. It will give us water. Everyone should come to dig the well"

The villagers thought of making an attempt to get water. They started digging the well. Two days passed, they dug up to fifty feet. There was no sign of a single drop of water coming from the well. Five days passed, they dug up more than seventy five feet. Till then, no water came. The village people became sad and they told that there will be no water in the well. So, they wanted to move to some other village. Surya asked them to dig the well further more. They refused to do so. He started digging the well alone. People in the village discouraged him. "Surya is a fool, no sign of water there in that well"

Ten days passed. He alone dug up to 150 feet. He was digging and suddenly when he hit the earth, spring of water splashed on his face. He became very happy. He called up all the villagers. They were also happy to see water gushing up from the well.

They felt sorry for discouraging him. He replied them that hardwork will be rewarded some day. People in the village were very happy and lived without problems for water thereafter.

Moral: Hard work will be always rewarded. Try, try and try again until you succeed.
