Once there lived a poor priest in a village in India. He lived with his wife and two children. He would get just enough to feed his family of four, but he was a philanthropist at heart and donated a large amount of food grains to the needy. He believed that God one day will recognize his deeds and will reward him. Priest’s wife wasn’t very happy with the donations made by her husband as she believed that there is no point in donating food to others when her own children go to bed hungry. Many times she tried to change the habit of the priest but in vain. One day it so happened that the priest’s younger son got ill. The reason was that he was sleeping an empty stomach for several nights, resulting in serious damage to the intestines. The priest was shaken, and heartbroken. He asked God – Why God Why?
