Every Morning Whity Rabbit travelled by train to reach his office. While returning from office, one day, his eyes fell upon a 500 rupee note lying on the platform of the railway station. He slyly picked up the note and kept in his pocket.
For a moment, he was happy to find money but he could not hold the idea for long as he did not consider it correct.
"What should I do?" he thought. After pondering for some time, he decided to utilize the money for paying his electricity bill which was pending for a few months.
When he reached home, he remembered that he had gone to a birthday party of his friend Mighty the next day.
He thought, 'But from where do i have money t buy a nice gift for my friend?' He then thought of the 500 rupee note.
"Good idea. Instead of paying the bill, I will buy a gift for Mighty with this money." Whity decided.
But Whity was still thinking about the note. "Whom does it belong to? From whose pocket it must have fallen? Maybe he needed it for buying a suit for himself or probably, paying his electricity bill. Or maybe buying a gift for his friend?" He thought, "But now this note is with me. What will he do?"
Whity was no longer happy now. He was only thinking of that person.
He now started searching for that man to whom the note belonged. This was not easy after all. Whity did not know anyone for that matter. Neither can he ask anyone about the lost note. Anyone could have taken it out of greed.
Finally, he decided to go back to the railway station and talk to someone who could be looking sad at the loss of something. And if anyone complained to him about his lost note, Whity would give it to him.
He reached the station. To his surprise, all people there appeared sad. Someone got tired after travel.
After walking up and down for some time, Whity noticed Blacky Bear. He went to Blacky and said, “You appear a little sad. Can I know the reason for it?"
Blacky said, "Yes, actually I want to go to my in-laws place and I also to buy a new suit but..."
"But you don't have money for it as you lost your 500 rupee note somewhere. Isn't it?" Whity immediately enquired.
"No, it is not like that. In fact, I don't have any money."
Whity quietly slipped from there. The next day, he saw Monty monkey who was uneasily walking up and down the station. “Can I help you?" Whity asked Monty. "I am searching for something which I am not finding. You too try, maybe you will find it," said Monty. "500 rupee note?"
"No, my pen has dropped somewhere. I am searching for it since long," Monty said.
Whity walked away. he met Longe Giraffe who too was appearing a little upset. Seeing Longe, he was sure that the note he found must have fallen from Lunge’s pocket.
Whity walked to him and said, "You seem to be upset. Has a 500 rupee note fallen from your pocket?"
"No, I am upset as I have to go to my friend's birthday party and I don't have money to buy gift for him. i am able to decide whether I should go or not," Longe said.
"You must go to your friend's party. What if you don't have a gift to present him with? If you are his good friend, he will be happy even if you reach without any gift.
"Think, how bad he will feel if you do not go," Whity advised. "You are correct. You have solved my problem."
Longe thanked him and went away.
"Now, what about my problem which is not yet solved," Whity pondered, sitting on a bench. Jumbo Elephant too came and sat near Whity murmuring, "Why does this happen to me only?"
"What happened?" asked Whity enquiringly. "I lost my 500 rupee note yesterday."
Whity jumped up, "500 rupee note! Was it yours? I have it. i have been searching for you since so long to return your note."
Without hearing Jumbo’s word fully, Whity took out the note from his pocket quickly and handed it over to jumbo.
"Don't make a fool of me. This is a fake note," said jumbo, looking at it closely.
"What?"
Whity looked at the note carefully. it was actually fake. "Sorry, i did not see it carefully. i found it here itself," said Whity. "I am not saying anything. I found my note yesterday itself. In fact, it was in my pocket and i was searching for it everywhere. I made a fool of myself. And today also I should have gone home from office but I have come here again. Why does this happen to me only?" said jumbo. "On! That means both of us have been made fools,” Whity murmured.
