Story of two friends | | Urban stories with moral lesson

Once upon a time, there lived two friends named Sunil and Amar. Sunil worked as an accountant in a multinational company, and Amar was a sales manager. Sunil and Amar would meet every morning at a park, and they would jog and exercise. 

One fine day, Amar invited Sunil to a dinner party at his home. This was the first time Amar visited Sunil’s home. He was surprised to see Sunil’s plush home. He wondered why he worked as an Accountant. Intrigued about Sunil’s riches, Amar invited him to his house for a private dinner. Two friends spoke at length, and Amar discovered Sunil had inherited the home from his father.

That day, Amar arrived home very disappointed. He wished his father had properties like that, and he started to become jealous of Sunil. Amar misbehaved with his father, saying, “I wish you were rich like Sunil’s father.”

Then, one day, after their walk, Sunil is confined to Amar, who cannot maintain the home and wishes to sell it. He said, “I have found a buyer, too, and would you help sell it.”

Amar agreed to help Sunil. That day, Amar reached home very sad; he realized his mistake of ill-treating his father and his mistake of being jealous of a friend.

He decided to apologize to his father, but his father was not at home. Amar then went to Sunil’s house, and they waited for the buyer to come. Amar was surprised to see that the buyer was his father.

Amar’s father wanted to buy the property and gift it to him. Amar’s father had redeemed his retirement savings to buy the house. Amar cried and touched his father’s feet. Sunil realized the buyer was Amar’s father.

They had dinner and a great evening together.
