The tea seller


Source: Google Image


“Excuse me, Two cups of tea please?” A man shouted from the corner seat of the train. “Ah... Yes” he poured two cups, handed it to the man and collected a twenty rupee note.  A satisfaction formed on his face.

He had been selling tea for fifteen years and from that he was sustaining his household expenses along with his daughter’s academy expenses.

Every morning he left his house at 4 am; moved from train to train to sell tea and returned to his home at 10 pm.


 “This is the life of a tea seller.” He thought to himself.

  5. beautiful 100 words! It is always good to remember to be kind, especially to the person serving you something as delightful as tea :) Everyone has a purpose, and what we do for money doesn't necessarily define us. Thanks for the inspiration!
