Speaking Task (a Benevolent person)

I have encountered many incidents when people go out of their way to help fellow human beings.

But, there are very few among them who keep their charity works undisclosed.

I am very proud of having such a benevolent friend in my life. His name is Harsh.

I would like to add that magnanimity is in his blood, as he has inherited this virtue from his father.

His father Mr. Shaileshbhai is a well-known industrialist.

He is also famous for his philanthropic activities.

Talking about Harsh, he himself doesn’t earn any money as he is just a student like me.

But, being a son of a rich father, he receives a good amount of pocket money from his father every month.

Harsh uses this money not on any luxurious items or expensive things.

Instead, he donates money to orphanages and old-age homes.

One day I asked him, why is he keen on doing charity works.

He told me that his grandfather inspired him to do this by telling him the story of King Karn from the epic Mahabharat.

King Karn never refused to give alms to whoever came to him, be it a prince or a pauper.

So, he tries to emulate King Karn.

Other people do show-off by posting charity works on social media. He abhors publicity on social media.

One incident that I want to recollect just to illustrate his way of doing help secretly.

One day our classmate Rudra was crying in a corner of our playground. Rudra couldn’t pay his school fees, and our school management was about to expel him from school.

When Harsh got to know about this, he rushed to the principal’s office. He called his father from there and told his father that he would pay Rudra’s fees.

He also requested the principal not to tell Rudra anything about this.

I felt very proud of Harsh on that day. And I decided that whatever we do to help others, we must do it without having any expectations from others.

It doesn’t matter whether the person who receives help doesn’t know about our charity work. Because God Almighty always sees us and showers His grace on us.

One incident that I want to recollect to illustrate his way of doing help secretly.

One day our classmate Rudra was crying in a corner of our playground. He couldn’t pay his school fee , and our school management was about to EXPEL him from school. 

When Harsh got to know about this, he rushed to the Principal’s office. He called his father from there and asked him to pay Rudra’s fees. 

He also requested the Principal not to tell Rudra anything about this.

Next day Rudra was surprised to find that his fees had been paid by someone, and Rudra was crying again. But this time the tears were of happiness and gratitude. 

I also felt very proud of my friend Harsh at that moment.

And I decided that whatever we do to help others , we must do it without having any expectations from others. 

It doesn’t matter whether the person who receives help doesn’t know about our charity work. Because God Almighty always sees us and showers His grace on us.
