1. 0:01In a village called Shri Rambburur, many beggars  used to sit outside the railway station. One of
2. 0:07them was a boy named Serju. Sergu had a younger  sister named Rama. Rama was a very calm and
3. 0:14intelligent girl. She studied in the fifth class.  Since their parents had passed away when Serju
4. 0:20was only 15 years old, the responsibility of  taking care of Rama fell on him. Their financial
5. 0:27condition was extremely poor. Poverty never  seemed to leave them. To pay for his sister's
6. 0:32studies and to feed both of them, Sergu used  to beg outside the railway station. Please give
7. 0:38something in God's name. God will bless you. Yeah,  take this. Who knows where all these people come
8. 0:43from. After saying this, the man leaves. Sanju  again starts begging. Please help in God's name.
9. 0:51God will fulfill all your wishes. Son, instead of  begging here, you should work somewhere. God has
10. 0:59given you two hands and two legs. After saying  this, the old man leaves. Hearing those words,
11. 1:06Sergu feels deeply hurt. He makes a promise  to himself. I could not complete my education,
12. 1:12but I will educate my sister well and help  her stand on her own feet. Thinking this,
13. 1:18Sergu again starts begging. Suddenly his eyes  fall on a tea stall nearby. Many people are
14. 1:25working there. A thought comes to his mind. What  if I go there and ask for work? Maybe I can get a
15. 1:34job. Let me try once. Sergu goes to the tea stall  and says to the owner, "Sir, can I get some work
16. 1:43here? Aren't you the same beggar boy? Why do you  suddenly want a job?" "Sir, I barely need work. I
17. 1:50don't want to live the life of a beggar anymore.  I want to do something through hard work. I will
18. 1:55work sincerely. Please give me one chance. All  right. But you will have to do whatever work is
19. 2:01given to you. Yes, sir. I will do whatever work  you asked me to do. Sirju happily returns home
20. 2:07and tells [music] his sister, "Rama, I'm so happy  today. I finally got a job. I will never beg."
21. 2:16Brother, this is wonderful news. Now you won't  have to spend your life as a [music] beggar.
22. 2:21I am so happy. Now I will earn through hard  work and you focus only on your studies. The
23. 2:28next day Sergu joins the tea stall [music]  and starts doing all the work sincerely. He
24. 2:33works with great honesty and dedication. The tea  seller becomes very happy with [music] his hard
25. 2:39work. One day the tea seller calls Sju and says,  [music] "Serg you work with so much dedication.
26. 2:46Why don't you complete your unfinished education?  You can become very successful in life. Mark my
27. 2:51words. The fact that you think so much about me  itself means a lot to me. Whatever I earn is spent
28. 2:58on my sister's education and our daily expenses.  How can I afford my studies too? [music] You start
29. 3:04studying. I will pay for your education. When  you earn enough in the future, you can return
30. 3:10the money to me. Okay. Hearing this, Sergu becomes  emotional and tears fill his eyes. Sir, after my
31. 3:18parents only you supported me. I will never forget  this kindness in my life. All [music] right, now
32. 3:24go back to work and in the evening get admission  in the night school. [music] Yes sir. That evening
33. 3:30Sanju gets admission into a night school. [music]  For him it feels like a dream coming true. Now
34. 3:36Sergio thinks that if he works even harder he  can earn more money [music] and also repay the
35. 3:42tea sellers kindness faster. So every morning  he starts delivering newspapers. Then he works
36. 3:49sincerely at the tea stall during [music] the day  and in whatever time remains he studies. Meanwhile
37. 3:57both Serju and Rama are very intelligent.  Rama always stands first in her school.
38. 4:07One day [music] Rama says to her brother,  "Brother, I was thinking if we keep some
39. 4:13snacks and food items at Uncle's Tea stall, the  business will grow much more and [music] the
40. 4:18income will increase too." That's very good idea,  Rama. I will talk to the owner. If he agrees,
41. 4:25we will work very hard on it. Yes, brother.  I will help in whatever way I can. No Rama,
42. 4:33you should focus only on your studies. I  will manage everything else. Okay, brother.
43. 4:38Sergu goes to the tea cellar and shares [music]  his idea. Hey Sergu, you are late today. Sir,
44. 4:46I had some work so I got delayed. Sir, I [music]  was thinking if we sell snacks along with tea,
45. 4:52then customers will get everything in [music] one  place and our business will improve. Your idea is
46. 4:58good. [music] You alone will have to manage all  this. I am too old for extra work now. Don't worry
47. 5:05sir, I will [music] handle everything. Then fine,  I trust you completely. After that, [music] Sergu
48. 5:11start selling snacks along with tea. Since  customers started getting everything at one place,
49. 5:17more and more people [music] began coming  to the tea stall. Seeing the growing crowd,
50. 5:22the tea seller becomes very [music] happy. Now he  fully trusts Sergu and believes that Sergu will
51. 5:28take the business forward. Sergio studies at night  and works [music] during the day. Slowly his hard
52. 5:34work starts showing results. The small tea stall  turns into a much bigger shop. Within a few years,
53. 5:41Sergu repays all the [music] money for his  education to the tea seller. Sergu completes
54. 5:46his studies and Rama also passes her 12th exams  with the highest marks in [music] the entire
55. 5:51district. Sergu's hard work turns one small tea  into three successful shops. The business grows so
56. 5:59much [music] that people specially come there for  tea and snacks. One day tea seller said to Serju,
57. 6:07"Sirju, with your hard work, you turned this tiny  tea [music] stall into a huge business. All this
58. 6:14is the reward of your hard work, son. Sir, all  this happened [music] only because of you. If
59. 6:21you had not helped a beggar like me and given  me a chance to work, I would never have reached
60. 6:26here." [music] By giving you a chance, I changed  my own destiny too. Because of you, my small tea
61. 6:32business [music] becomes so big. From today, one  of these shops belongs to you. You will manage it
62. 6:38from now on. Sure, sir. As you say, I will take  full responsibility for the shop. With time,
63. 6:45Sergu and Rama both become successful [music] in  life. Sergu, who was once a bagger, becomes the
64. 6:51owner of a hotel, and Rama completes [music]  her studies and gets a job in a good company.
