One Burger Please?
Where the vehicles never stop running. Where the footsteps of people were as fast as some rabbits galloping on the ground. In one of the busiest cities of the world, lived a poor man named Jeorge Footson. He was not a rich person in reality like other poor people fools the public. He was one of those poor people who don't beg or fool others. He was one of those hardworking people who earn money by work and not by begging. He was just twenty-one years old and when he needed to complete his graduation, his whole family passed away in an accident. He uses to think that he was the unlucky person who didn't die in that accident. But not losing hope, he uses to play a beautiful violin on the streets of the city. He would start his day at 11 in the morning, play beautiful songs on his violin, and sleep nearly at 9 at night. He just took a 1-hour break every day to eat something. He uses to earn 2 dollars (150 rupees) per day as people passing by liked his songs on his violin and drop him a cent or a dime.
He uses to spend one dollar (75 rupees) on a small burger shop every day, of course, as he was hungry. He bought one burger worth one dollar and ate it every day as a lunch meal. Of course, there were several more things cheaper than the burger but Jeorge was satisfied in burger only.


One day he was playing his violin and suddenly a thief picked up his bucket of coins people gave him, and ran away. "Thief! Thief! Thief! Give me back my bucket of coins! You don't realize that the bucket you took me feeds me every day!" Jeorge shouted extremely loudly chasing that person. But then when Jeorge was chasing the thief and entered in a dark and small lane, some people came and pushed him into the garbage and then ran away. Those were the friends of the thief. Jeorge was lying on the ground with a bleeding head. But none paid attention to him, so he went back to his spot where his violin was safely kept, and then took a small cloth and covered his bleeding head with it. The day his money was lost, he had to sleep hungry.

These kinds of robbery occurred very often. So Jeorge thought, "I now must stop playing the violin, and get a job." At first, he uses to have no money, hence, no one would employ him. But now, after collecting coins and storing them in a secret place for 10 consecutive years, he realized today that the one-dollar I use to save is today almost 4,000 dollars (3 lakh rupees)! So when he realized this, he bought a motorcycle and started the job of delivering things. He uses to get more salary than others because he was not using the motorcycles of the Store in which he works as a delivery boy. His expenses became high, but his incomes were more, as a result, he saved a lot of money. He still slept on some streets as he thought that living in a proper house would make his expenses greater. He also made his own bank account because now he had more money in his pockets.

After doing the job of delivering for more than 30 years, Jeorge had an extremely huge amount of money, which is more than a common man. He decided to open his own company called "The Jeorge's Kitchen". He wanted to open basically a burger shop because those shops help a poor feed himself as a store did to him. So Jeorge began hiring several people, managers and bought several stores throughout the city. He then started his business which was so awesome that he started to earn millions of dollars now! And soon after, his business became worldwide!

He then became one of the richest people in the world, and then he smiled, that he uses to ask when he was poor, and now the world asks him, "One Burger Please?".
