The Shopkeeper's Honest Scales

There was once a Sikh shopkeeper who lived by the rule of ‘kirat karo’ — earning honestly. He kept his weighing scales perfectly fair and never cheated a single customer.

Indeed, when weighing out grain, he would often add a little extra, just to be sure no one was ever shortchanged, even by mistake.

His shop was the most trusted in the whole market. People knew that honesty and a little extra kindness made him richer in friends than any cheat could ever be in coins.

🌱 A thought to carry away

Earn honestly and give fair measure — trust is worth more than easy money.
