☆ Inexhaustible ☆

In the childhood, he had read the story of three *’D’*. *Daya*, the kindness, is expected from the demons; *Daman*, the sensory repression from the deities, and *Daan*, the donations from the humans.

He was a pauper, had nothing to give. Then, he started giving a portion of his bread to others. He started drinking water only after distributing it to the thirsty people. He would give supporting hands to the little ones and accompaniment to the elders.

As the adage goes, the pauper’s accumulation always remained inexhaustible.
