Once an iron merchant, called Krishnan, had to leave his home and go to

a distant city on some important business. He would be away for more than

six months. In his godown, he had about a ton of iron bars. It was a great

problem to know what to do with them. He could not keep them locked up in

the godown, for then he would not only have to pay a large rent, but also the

wages of a watchman for six long months. Moreover, when he returned prices

might have fallen and he would then have to sell the bars at a very great loss.

Obviously the best thing to do was to sell them before he went away,

but though he tried hard to find a customer, no one seemed to want to buy

them.

One of his friends, called Gopal, was also a dealer in iron. He also had a godown

where he kept his raw iron for sale as and when he found customers.

His godown was very large and he could easily keep Krishnan’s bars in

one corner. He told Krishnan that he could safely leave the iron in his

godown and go on his journey. It would all be there when he came back.

Krishnan decided to do this. He thanked his friend Gopal for his kindness,

sent him the iron, and left the town with a light heart.​
