The bar tender prepared wine ,they had it. servant came and said “Sir, tea is served”. They entered in a great beautiful hall. It was not just tea,it was” HI tea”. The rich man asked him to start with.The goon never saw such a splendid life style.Why this man brought me here, I think he is mistaken ? .The goon thought,after a while he said”Sir,I think you have mistaken bringing me here, I’m not of your style, I had some work with that poor fisherman “.The goon said in a very low tone. “ Ah man, Look to me,you didn’t recognize me, I’m the poor fisherman,whom you are looking for “.The rich man said.The goon stood up very astonishingly, He was fully gaped.” You are that fisherman, how it could be possible, He had nothing to eat and you are a big boss".The goon said with mixing words."Look close to me “.The rich man said." Oh my God”..The goon said.Now a great confusion settled down. The goon was still looking towards the fisherman and  the fisherman laughed. “How this all happened so soon, ?it is just a dream”. The goon asked .”The day you stroked me.,I was very perturbed,.I looked up and just said these words “This man had shown his strength now you show your strength “with these words I cried. Next day I went towards dockyard, There was an auction,Heaps of cloth were lying,I just stood there for a while, watching the scene, at last I screamed ”Two hundred and ten".All the people were looking towards me ,a person came close to me and said “are you crazy, I know you are a poor fisherman, how would you buy this lot of lacs”?. As I was about to answer him ,a giant man just gave his entrance “He is my man”. An opulent person , standing with a cigar in his mouth. I didn’t know that man but he knew me.we won that lot and that opulent man paid for the lot. As we were about to pick up that stock, a person came and gave us twenty percent of profit to us. That profit given boost to me .After that event we both became partners. That man was filthy rich but issue less and suffering from heart ailment.He transferred all his wealth to me and now he is dead”.The goon was ashamed of his deed.” I came here for forgiveness,you forgive me, I’m now a destitute, pity on me or I would die”. Goon said it very nervously.”" Actually some times man considers himself a hero but he doesn’t know that he ruins one whole family,you did something like this but it’s an old saying “whom God’s keep,no frost can kill”.This some thing happens to me that day”. The fisherman was talking but the goon was thinking something else.He was looking towards his life style, his pompous life. The goon became greedy.Instead to beg for forgiveness he tried to snatch again the wealth from him but now....it was not a fish,that he would snatch from the fisherman's hand ,no doubt that the fisherman was very humble and he forgave the goon and also asked for monetary help but the fisherman was great alert. The goon was now became dishonest. In the meantime a servant brought some more coffee. The fisherman excused himself and went outside.The goon thought a trick.He very swiftly took out that poison from his silver ring and add it into the cup of a fisherman.Fisherman came quickly and poured some coffee in his cup and about to take a sip,a phat cat jumped on the coffee cup of the fisherman. The coffee spilt on the floor but some coffee split in the cat’s mouth and the cat’s fallen down and been killed. Fisherman was Very nervously watching the whole scenario.The goon laughed vampirely, Now the fisherman understood the whole game.He said”. Somebody very well said “ The wolf may loose his teeth but never loose his nature”,I forgive you but you didn’t pity on me and once again you attacked on my life.The fisherman uttered the word's very heavy heartedly.Goon immediately picked up a knife and attacked on the fisher man but in the meantime a fire triggered up by the guard and the bullets had stucked in the chest of the goon ,he had fallen down and died.(The End)
