He wandered here and there but couldn’t find the right way. He sat under the tree, tired of defeat and was very scared because soon it was going to be dark. {Sound comes from the bushes} He was afraid. He stands up and had a look around. Suddenly, a tiger jumped in front of him. He got so scared that he almost loosed his senses. He starts screaming for help but then, he realised that he was in the middle of the forest and no one could help him. So, he decided to help himself, he has an axe with him. He mustered his courage and drove the tiger away. In this way he realised that in this world, we all are alone and should not expect help from others as no one will come to help you. In the end, you are the only one to help yourself.”

After listening to her story, Asad had also learnt his lesson. He decided to fight for his own and prove himself innocent. Next day, he went to the factory owner’s office. He asked for a chance to prove himself innocent. Owner was ready to give him a chance. Asad told the owner to check the CCTV of the front shop to find the actual culprit. From the CCTV, they caught the person who actually committed the fraud. Owner hand over the fraud to the police and apologized to Asad in front of the same factory workers. He appreciated him for his deed and asked him to join as a supervisor.

So you see, in a very small age Asad had become a supervisor in the same factory, where he got insulted. This is possible only because of his believe that “ EVERYONE SHOULD HELP THEMSELVES BECAUSE NO ONE WILL COME.”
