Respect Others ( A Short Story)

Maharaja Ranjeet Singh has been one of the greatest king in India. Once he was on tour visiting his kingdom in night in camouflage. During visit, a beggar recognised him and he bowed in front of Maharaja to pay respect. Maharaja, in response to the beggar, bowed even more to him and paid him a bagful of money.

When Ranjit Singh moved on, his general curiuosly asked him, "Sir, you are such a great Maharaja. Why did you bowed in front of that beggar?"

Then Ranjit Singh said, "That beggar was poor and illiterate. When despite this fact, he knew how to pay respect to others; I am much more educated than him, so I should have shown much more respect to him. And that's exactly what I did."
