Vikram Leaves His Farm to Care for His Mother
A few weeks later, Vikram stopped going regularly to his farm because his mother had become seriously ill.
He spent most of his time at the hospital.
Meanwhile, his crops desperately needed water.
John noticed it while passing by his field.
The plants were beginning to dry.
He stood there for a long time.
He remembered all the years Vikram had
helped him.
He remembered the harvests.
The childhood.
The laughter.
The countless times Vikram had stood beside him.
John looked at the dry field.
Then he looked toward his own well.
Without telling anyone, he began working.
He created a small water channel from his well toward Vikram's field.
He worked late into the evening.
The next morning, he opened the channel.
Water slowly entered Vikram's field.
Day after day, John continued taking care of the crops.
Within weeks, the dry field became green again.
But Vikram knew nothing about it.
