A miracle

There was a boy named Ram. He belongs to a poor family and was willing to study but circumstances prevented him from going to school. He wants to enlighten the name of his parents and nation. His parents were protagonist of his life. As we all know that education is the golden key to unlock the doors of freedom. Therefore, from core of his heart he wished to become a literate.

His compassionate father was a rickshaw puller and caressing mother was a domestic servant. His parents were his life . They could not earn enough to afford the educational expenses of their child . They even wanted their child to be a literate and pass out with flying colors. Somehow they managed to admit their child in school.

His parents burnt midnight oil in order to provide the world's best education to him. One day his parents were going to his school to clear his dues. Before one day their child's result came out. Ram passed with flying colors. He stood for 1st position in the school. His parents were very happy. When they were going to clear his dues, school planned a surprise for his parents but on the way they met with an accident. As we all know that humanity dwells up in the heart of every living being. So, being a human somebody informed about the accident in the school.
School informed Ram about the same. Before informing Ram , school had hospitalized his parents. When Ram got the news about the accident tears dwelled up in his eyes. His throat became heavy. When Ram reached the hospital, doctor informed him that they will start the treatment only when he deposits the money.
Ram was known about the surprise which school was going to present to his parents. The surprise was that the government has awarded him the scholarship. The scholarship was provided to him for his lifetime studies. Knowing that education can help him reach at heights and fulfill his dreams. Ram requested school to give him that money so that he could save his parent's lives. He was in a very tough situation. He had to choose one between the two most important things in his life.
He gave priority to his parents rather than fulfilling his dreams. Ram was a gifted child. School said that the money awarded by the government can be used for studies only. They even said that they could not help him any more.
He requested doctor to give him some time to arrange money so that he could save the lives of his wonderful and hardworking parents. He tried his level best to earn money. He did  all odd jobs , worked as a labour but could not earn enough to safeguard the lives of his prodigy. On the deadline his parents were in a critical condition. Doctor was stone-hearted. To him money was the first and foremost priority. On the last day he was filled with remorse thoughts, doubts & anxiety. He didn't had any other option other than working hard and praying to God for a miracle to happen. Till his last moment he worked very hard.
He met a person named shivai. Shivai wondered that at such tender age this little boy is working hard. He talked to him. Ram's eyes were twinkling and a smooth liveliness of dew drops of lotus appeared in his  movements. Shivai told him his story that once he even faced such a situation and lost his parents. He even assured him that he can understand his pain.
Being a kind hearted he gave him money. Ram's parents were safe now. At last i would like to tell you that Ram could never find Shivai again ever in his life. Do you know why? Because......
....................................................................................................................................................................
Shivai was none other than lord shiva. Story which Shivai told to him was just his product of imagination. God came from heaven to help him because God help those who help themselves. Once again Ram could study and in the end was able to fulfill all his dream. He enlightened the name of his parents like a candle..
