I visited my grandparents in their village to spend Dussera with them. In the same village, there lived a boy and his father in a small hut. In the rainy season, water would enter their house. The boy’s father was ill and could not walk properly and there was none to support them. So the boy used to work very hard in the fields, under the hot sun and earned Rs.20 daily. With that, they would to eat some food twice a day. Isn’t it difficult to live by eating only twice daily? With his little hands, the boy did a great job. I want to say that without doing any work, man can’t make life enjoyable. Any work is equally important if it is done with interest and care. Our history has added many rulers who have ruled their territories in their young age and have done great work with their little hands. Now, Malala has done it so well. I congratulate her. She has done noble work and received the Nobel Prize this year. Little hands can do great work.
