WORTH

Everything has a worth. Even a worthless stuff also has a value. Then why it is called as worthless? Because we are uable to find out the value of that stuff. As it is said that, you will definitely get your worth one day. So this story is about an author who got his worth so preciously.

For a writer it is necessary to write something different and creative. And also he has to write things from the core of his heart. Writing something is not about dropping your ink on a paper but justifying your emotions to the world. A writer is like a painter who portraits real facts by words. This is about a writer named George. He is a very passionate author. He loves to write things about life, truth and lie and specially about humanity. He always tries to make people understand their faults and value through his pen. He had tried a lot to let people read his books as much as possible. Some got sold but some are still under the dust. For a week he went so sad because he had written the books with his heart.

But nothing could stop him. He started working on his next project. He worked so hard for this one. In this book, he talked about the truth of life and the difficult stages of life which was fully attentive. After finishing the last word of the last page of his book, he seemed to be very satisfied about his work. After a week, he launched his book named :- “A great truth and a bitter lie”. This time he got many appreciations for his work. He was quite happy.

One day when he went to a store to buy some equipment , he saw an old lady who was slightly bent. The lady was smiling with a wrinkled face and she was holding a book in her hand. George noticed that the lady was holding the book for which he had worked so hard and sweated.
He was so happy by seeing an old lady buying his book with a great smile on her face.

The writer went to the old lady and curiously asked :- “why did you buy this book?” . Without having any hesitation the old lady replied :- “I love this author’s thoughts. Though I have read this book already but I am buying this book again for the hard work of the author ”. George felt emotional and got teary. But he didn’t reveal the old lady that he was the author. The author asked the old lady about herself. The lady replied:- “I am now 79.old and unmarried. I have hired a nurse to take care of mine. All of my money will go to her.” George was too happy by the lady’s words. Then George added :- “If you want then I can go to your home every Sunday to read this book again and again for you”. The lady smiled and said -"God bless you". Then she gave her address to the writer. Next Sunday the writer went to her home. The lady was lying on her bed and the nurse was forcing her to take the pills. George started talking with a formal greeting. He opened the book and started reading. This continued for two months.

One day the lady was in her last stage of her life.She was having trouble to breathe. The nurse called the doctor immediately. Treatment was going on. The lady said her nurse to call George . George went there and saw the old lady fighting with her life. He opened his book and started reading. The lady was smiling though she was in a very bad condition. There were few words left when the lady passed away. George was crying so loudly but he didn’t stop reading. He continued the story by stopping his tears. Then he went to the graveyard for the last prayer. And Within a month he published his new book named :- “The unknown reader and a wrinkled face.”
