    TITLE:The Life of a Hawker

    Once there lived a hawker in a village. He used to sell things in the nearby bazar. Every day he would get back home at night. He could hardly support his family with his small income. He had a family of eight members including parents and four children. His two daughters read in a primary school and the first two daughters read in a high school. So it is quite impossible for him to run his family only hawking.

    It is to be mentioned that he was a victim of fate. Once he was a brilliant student in his school. But with the flux of time he started to mix with some bad company and become drug addicted. However, he passed HSC with third class result. From then he left his study and got married to a poor beautiful girl. Since he failed to manage his family, he decided to go to Dhaka to change has present financial condition. One day when he reached Dhaka he felt himself very foolish because this big city seemed very suffocating for him. He stared to work as a waiter in a hotel at Farmgate and earned 150 taka per day.

    One day at 5 am when he was coming to farmgte, he was a gentle man lying beside a canal. He tested his nerve and discovered him alive but the man was seriously wounded. He took the man to Sohorawoardi Hospital. However, the gentle man had come round. Hearing the magnanimity of the waiter, the gentleman rewarded him with a good job. In this way, the village hawker’s life was changed.
