Trapped!

He sat there, contemplating about how to trap the man he was following for some hours. In fact, he just does the same for every one of us. And his power lied in his versatile ways of operation. Each was so ingenious and highly productive.

The man he followed was a person who was in early forties, and shunning himself from what all he quoted as "luxuries" in life. He was once very rich and tasted the finest wine and had the best of everything else. As his fortunes changed, he stepped out [was a lone bachelor] and started wandering around different parts of the world. Our guy wanted to play a game with that man and rolled the dice.

The man was travelling in a lonely path then, where he saw a pretty woman shouting for help. Her younger sister had fallen into the nearby lake accidentally and both of them did not know how to swim, she said. He rushed to the spot, dived and dragged the fainted girl back. Our guy was so happy, for, things started to happen along the lines of his expectation.

Then, the man stood firm, when the elder one thanked him profusely stating, "Who will do this? Risking your life and saving a girl and yet, not even waiting to receive an appreciation back! You are God to me!".

As he left with a shyness, our guy Satan smiled, seeing that his mission was accomplished.

 

Thanks Pallavi4Me, for your appreciation. I wondered whether it would be well received, you know? -rgs

Sagadai [சகடை]? In the village sides, you see the instrument that they use to draw water from well [இராட்டினம்].

No matter how deep the water is, this thing will always be on top. Thats what he would have meant, I feel Viswamitra.

Thanks for your appreciation. -rgs
