Help rewarded

Once upon a time there lived a man named Bhalin. He used to ride bikes at great speed, but never used to hurt anyone. His parents told him to consider racing as a career. So he joined the bike race.

There were many racers there and they were introducing themselves to Bhalin. One of the racers, Shank, told Bhalin, “Do you know the person who wins a prize today will get one lakh rupees and a trophy? I will surely get it because I am the one who wins all the time.” Bhalin smiled and said, “Let us see.” The race was going to begin. All the racers wished each other and got ready. The race began. Shank was going very fast. The entire crowd cheered for him — “Shank go fast , you can make it. Come on Shank, faster, faster, faster. You will win the race.” A poor man who was walking forgot that he was on the race track. Shank who was going very fast accidentally knocked him down. The poor man was hurt and on seeing this, Bhalin stopped his bike and helped him. The poor man thanked him. On seeing this, the judges awarded Bhalin the first prize.

Even if it is not you who hurt others, just help them.
