King Ranjit Singh (1780 - 1839), better known as the Lion of the
      state of Punjab, India, was well known for his kingmanship,
      benevolence and military leadership.

      Once, while he was walking on the outskirts of the city, a rock
      hit him.  The King was injured and his body-guards came running
      to help him and look for the person who has thrown the stone.
      After a shortwhile, the body-guards presented an old woman
      before the king.

      She submitted, "O King!  My grandson was without food for the
      last three days.  As he had had no food, I threw a stone into
      this mango tree, so as to get a ripe fruit to satisfy my
      grandson's hunger.  However, due to my misfortune, the stone
      missed its aim and hit you, your honor!  It was not at at all my
      intention to hurt you."

      King Ranjitsingh heard the old woman and said to his followers,
      "Give a thousand Rupees to this woman, as well as food and
      arrange to send her home in all honor!"

      The soldiers and others were stunned and said, "O King, this
      woman had the audacity to hit you with a stone.  She should
      therefore be severely punished."

      The king said, "Well, brethren!  If a tree which has no brain,
      yields a fine fruit when hit with a stone, how can we, as
      intelligent persons, punish this woman?"

      This is the reason why this great, benevolent and forgiving
      King attained a place amongst the noblest Kings of India.

    There are many such people aroud us..who dont get enough food...
  are we doing something for them?Huh??
