The Tribute
Once upon a time there were two brothers named Arun and Varun, living in a small village of Uttarakhand. The parents of the brothers expired when the elder one was only eighteen years old and the younger brother Varun was twelve years old.
The elder brother sacrificed his studies and went to fields to educate his younger brother. He used to accompany his younger brother to school because the school was bit far away from their home. Arun took care of Varun like his child.
Now Varun had completed his studies and got a job in a bank in town. He was married and had all facilities in the town. He didn’t get time to visit his village and meet his brother. Once his brother wrote a letter, “Dear Varun I am getting older so I want to give your share in our paternal property. So, please come to the village,”
Varun went to his village, his brother received him warmly and took him to show the fields. When Varun met his brother, he remembered the sacrifice and love of his brother. He told his brother that he didn’t want any share as he got the share of love and care from him and whatever he was then was only because of him. He said, “Bhaiya please you keep all these fields because you with lot of hard work grows crops here. I don’t have any right. Please keep it as a tribute from me.”
Arun denied at first but later on when Varun insisted a lot, he could not say anything. The tears came in his eyes and he embraced Varun.
