This is a true story about two friends.
One day a young man said to his good friend, I can see that some day you will become great and rich. His friend laughed, Ridiculous! How can you know that? The first said, Yes, I can see it from your forehead. The second one said, Ok, if I become great and rich, I will give you 10,000 rupees. The first friend asked. Really? If so, then write it down.
The second one really wrote it down. The first man kept the note, but he never took his friend seriously. The agreement was made as a joke. 10 or 12 years later, the friend did become rich and great, while the other remained poor. By that time both friends had separated and were leading their own lives. Even so, the poor friend still preserved the note, although he felt that since it was a joke, he would never receive the money.
Quite unexpectedly, the poor man fell seriously ill. Just before he died, he took out the agreement and called his son, who was only seven years old, My son, there is something very precious that I have kept for you. After I die…you go to this man and show him what he has written.
Soon the man died. Their friendship had faded so much that the rich man did not even come to see him before he left this world. But after three or four weeks' time the son took the note to the rich man. The boy gave the rich man the note. The rich man read it and asked, Did I write this?
The boy said, “I do not know. My father asked me to give it to you before he died. The rich man summoned one of his secretaries and explained, I promised this boy's father many years ago that I would give him 10,000 rupees if I became rich and great. I have been rich for seven years; please calculate how much interest I have to give him in addition to the 10,000 rupees.
The secretary told him, An additional 7,000 rupees, which makes it 17,000 altogether.
The rich man immediately issued a check for 17,000 rupees and gave it to the little boy, saying, Take this directly to your mother.”
This is how a sincere man kept his promise.
