Gold Hindi Story: Rekha lived with her daughter Lakshita in a city. Rekha's husband had passed away. She used to work in people's homes.
Rekha used to work day and night to teach Lakshita properly. Lakshita was also very quick in studying. One day when Rekha comes home –
Target: Mom, look, I have got this trophy as a reward from school. I am first in school.
Line: Daughter, keep studying hard like this. My dream is that you become a big officer after studying.
Target: But mother, I am only in sixth class, it will take a lot of time.
Rekha: No problem son, I will work very hard and teach you. Don't worry, just study diligently.
Time was passing like this. One day Rekha was returning from her work. Then she saw a wooden box lying on the way, at first Rekha moved ahead but then she saw that something was shining in that box.
Rekha opened the box with fear and found a lot of gold jewelery in it. Rekha couldn't believe her eyes, she started looking here and there but there was no one there.
Rekha picked up the box and brought it home.
Line: Look daughter what I got. With so much jewellery, we will never be short of money.
Target: Mother, where did these come from?
Line: Daughter, it seems that God has sent us to remove our sorrows, but don't tell anything about this to anyone.
Rekha takes care of the box and hides it. The next day she takes out a ring from the box and goes to sell it at a goldsmith's shop in the market.
Line: Brother, I have to sell this ring.
The goldsmith takes the ring and examines it. Then he says.
Goldsmith: Where did you get this ring from? This is fake, there is only gold on it, inside it is all brass and yellow, so no one will pay even two rupees for it.
Rekha gets upset hearing this.
Line: Do one thing, Seth ji, give it back to me.
Goldsmith: You are in dire need of money. Do one thing and I will give you 100 rupees for this thumb.
Rekha comes home with the money.
Line: God has betrayed us. They gave us fake jewellery, all of them are made of brass, the goldsmith took pity on them and gave me a hundred rupees.
Lakshita was very clever. She understood that the goldsmith had fooled my simple mother.
Target: Mother, do one thing, go to the goldsmith, give him back the hundred rupees and bring back the ring.
Rekha kept refusing but Lakshita took her to the goldsmith's shop.
Line: Seth ji, that ring belonged to my mother-in-law, she is quarreling now, you take your hundred rupees and return the ring.
Goldsmith: Hey, what will she do with that brass ring? Take another hundred rupees. I liked the design of the ring, so I kept it. After seeing it, I will get a gold ring made.
Target: No Seth ji, please return our ring otherwise my grandmother will come here and fight.
The goldsmith returns the ring with great difficulty. Both of them come home with the ring.
Line: At least he was giving two hundred rupees. What will you do with this brass ring if you take it, no one will give even two rupees.
Target: Mother, you probably don't know that the goldsmith was fooling us. I think this ring is gold. I will take it to school tomorrow. This will be found out in our science lab. I will get it checked by my madam.
The next day Lakshita came home happily. When Rekha came back in the evening, Lakshita told her –
Target: Mother, this ring is of gold. That goldsmith's intentions had gone wrong. My madam checked and said that it is real gold and there is no adulteration in it.
Line: But what should we do now, anyone will fool us.
Target: Mother, leave these ornaments. When I get educated and grow up, we will sell them, by then their price will also increase and no one will be able to fool us.
Similarly, many years pass and Lakshita completes her studies.
After completing her studies, she does a course in jewelery designing. After that she sells some jewelery and buys a shop in the market. Then she hires goldsmiths in the back part of the shop.
After this, she melts these ornaments and makes beautiful ornaments and decorates them in the shop.
Lakshita and her mother both sit at the shop. Lakshita used to get new designs of jewelery made and her jewelery would be sold instantly.
Within a few days his shop starts doing well.
One day the same goldsmith comes to the shop.
Goldsmith: Daughter, will you design jewelry for me? No one buys my old designed jewellery.
Target: No, you fool people by buying gold at the price of brass. We don't want to do anything with you.
Goldsmith: No daughter, I don't do that.
Line: Seth ji, you have forgotten that I once came to your shop. Then Rekha told the whole story.
Goldsmith: Daughter, I made a mistake. Pardon me My entire business was ruined.
Target: No you go away.
The goldsmith goes back silently. Lakshita expanded her work a lot, now she had many showrooms in the city. Where newly designed jewelery was sold.
