Ramu’s wish:

Ramu - a beggar-looking man entered a shop and wished to buy some clothes. He was abused and thrown out of the shop. He tried at 3-4 different Readymade Garments shops and every time he was insulted and thrown out. Next time before entering a Readymade Garments shop he asked for the owner of the shop who was incidentally standing at the entry of the shop. He enquired from him if he could buy some clothes from his shop. The shopowner gladly said ‘Yes’ and he even showed him to one of his counters. Ramu was shabbily dressed-up with nothing in his feet. Since the owner had directed, therefore the Salesman asked Ramu about his requirements. Ramu asked for pants & shirts. The salesman displayed fairly good pants and shirts. Ramu liked it and enquired about the price. Each set of pants & shirt was priced around Rs 2000.00. Ramu asked the salesman to pack 100 sets of pants & shirts. Now the salesman had a complete look at Ramu and called his owner. Ramu was nowhere eligible to buy even one set of pants & shirt while he was asking for 100 sets of pants & shirts. The owner asked Ramu if he seriously wished to buy so many garments. Ramu displayed his bag - full of cash and informed that he was a ‘Rag-picker’ and he had found that bag of cash at a ‘Garbage-bin’. He added that he waited for 2-days to ensure that if somebody had mistakenly left it there, he may recollect it but nobody turned up. Next the shop-owner asked Ramu why he wished to buy only garments. Does he wish to open some Garment-shop? Ramu had his last words “ There are many persons like him who were living in rags. Let them enjoy good garments to wear”. Ramu had decided to distribute each set of pants-shirt to all such persons. The shop-owner asked his salesman to accompany Ramu and help him in distributing the garments among all needy persons. Finally the shop-owner wished to embrace Ramu for doing such a noble job. Usually people would wish to enjoy such booty on their own.
