Once a young British officer travelled to a remote village..
He was very fond of the well-known Vidyasagar and had travelled for hours to listen to his speech in
this village…
The moment the officer landed on the station, he started looking for a porter.
A man, dressed in a simple dhoti and kurta, who got down from the same
train asked him..
Why do you need a porter to carry this small suitcase? You
can carry it yourself?
It is not in keeping with my dignity to carry this luggage. I am an educated person.
He gauged the mentality of the Englishman and offered to carry his luggage.
So he let the man carry his baggage.
The young officer assumed that he is in need of money.
The old man left the suitcase where the officer wanted it to be kept.
The officer then offered money to the ‘porter’ but it was politely refused.
