00:00In the prosperous village of Sampadanagar, an elderly jeweler named Damodar lived.

00:07His family was quite large. His wife, sons, daughter-in-law and grandchildren all lived together.

00:15He loved his family dearly.

00:18To keep them united, he expanded his house.

00:22To ensure they were well fed, he also appointed the finest cook.

00:26His name was Changilal.

00:30Changilal, look, today I bought vegetables myself.

00:34Your mistress loves this vegetable. Prepare this today.

00:38Yes, master.

00:40Changilal had been working at Damodar's house for the past 15 years.

00:45Their bond had become like that of a father and son.

00:49The reason was that Damodar's large family made it difficult to retain any cook.

00:54But Changilal stayed and always took care of the family's health.

00:59However, now seeds of deception had started sprouting in his mind.

01:05One day at the market, Changilal was talking to other household servants.

01:10I tricked my master out of 20 rupees yesterday without him even realizing it.

01:16Damodar sahib is so kind.

01:19So, why don't you ever try something like this?

01:22Yes, Changilal.

01:23You should learn some clever tricks too.

01:25After all, you also have a life.

01:29What nonsense are you both talking?

01:31Master has never let me like anything.

01:34Why would I need to learn deceit?

01:37That's exactly the point.

01:38Changilal, you explain to this native man.

01:41Listen, Changi.

01:42No one has lasted in that house as long as you have.

01:47You deserve more than what you are getting paid.

01:50So, why not you keep a little extra money for yourself?

01:53Besides, you are too noble to ask for a raise.

01:57And don't you have your own needs?

02:00Getting my point.

02:02Changilal's friends had figured out his weakness.

02:06Changilal dismissed their words.

02:09And he returned home.

02:12That night, he prepared food and served everyone.

02:16Entire family started eating.

02:18And Changilal was watching them eating.

02:22Suddenly, Damodar's youngest grandson said,

02:25Grandpa, Changu uncle always serves bland dal.

02:30Doesn't he know how to cook something spicy?

02:34It seems your Changu uncle has grown old like me.

02:39Everyone laughed at this.

02:42Damodar often joked with his grandchildren like this

02:45so that they would eat healthy food without any fuss.

02:50Changilal was used to it.

02:52But today, it hurt him.

02:55After dinner, while washing dishes, he muttered to himself,

02:59I don't understand what pleasure master gets from making fun of me.

03:06I work tirelessly for this house, cooking regardless of how I feel.

03:12And this is how I am repaid?

03:13Resentment began to grow in Changilal's heart.

03:18The next day, when he went for shopping of the vegetables,

03:23he decided to be frugal.

03:26And that's why he bought older, cheaper produce.

03:31He pocketed the money he saved and that's how he justified his actions.

03:36I can keep a little money for myself.

03:40After all, I am the only one who has stayed here.

03:44Anyone else would have left by now.

03:47That night, he cooked food.

03:49He served the food to everyone.

03:51And then, he watched carefully to see if anyone noticed the difference.

03:56But no one realized the difference.

03:59Changilal sighed in relief.

04:01His idea worked.

04:03That night, while storing utensils, he thought,

04:08From tomorrow, I'll keep buying stale and cheap vegetables.

04:12It saves money and the taste remains great.

04:16Changilal began buying low-quality vegetables every day,

04:20saving a significant amount of money.

04:23Damodar never asked for an expense report.

04:26He started saving money.

04:27However, after a few days,

04:31Damodar's wife developed a high fever

04:33and severe stomach pain.

04:36Since there was no one else except Damodar and his wife at home,

04:41he called out for Changilal.

04:43Changilal!

04:44Hey Changilal!

04:46Come quickly!

04:47Your mistress is in pain!

04:49Come quickly!

04:51Hearing Damodar's voice,

04:53Changilal rushed into the room

04:54and seeing his mistress crying in pain.

04:57Mistress, what's happening?

04:59I'll call the doctor right away.

05:02Keep patience.

05:03I'll be right back.

05:04The doctor arrives soon at Damodar's house.

05:08After examining his wife,

05:11says that she needs to be admitted in hospital.

05:14Hearing this,

05:15Damodar and Changilal get shocked.

05:18They call the ambulance as instructed by the doctor

05:21and admit Damodar's wife into the hospital.

05:25After examining her properly in hospital,

05:28the doctor told them

05:29that she is suffering from food poisoning.

05:32Damodar sat worriedly

05:33and Changilal,

05:35he felt as if someone stabbed him in the heart.

05:39He stepped outside

05:40and breaks down in tears.

05:43This,

05:44this is all my fault.

05:46Because of those cheap,

05:48stale vegetables,

05:49mistress is in the hospital today.

05:51What if something happens to her?

05:54Talking to himself,

05:56Changilal kept on walking.

05:58He was not paying attention

05:59and was totally lost.

06:02Suddenly,

06:03a car hits him from behind

06:04and drives away.

06:06Upon opening his eyes,

06:08he saw Damodar

06:09sitting beside him.

06:12Changilal,

06:14how are you feeling now?

06:16Master,

06:16how is mistress?

06:19I am absolutely fine,

06:21beta Changilal,

06:22but my heart nearly stopped

06:24when he told me

06:25that you met an accident.

06:27Master,

06:29mistress,

06:29this is all my fault.

06:31I let myself be influenced

06:33by my friends.

06:35I started buying

06:36stale,

06:37cheap vegetables

06:38and keeping some money

06:39for myself.

06:40I didn't realize

06:41how wrong I was.

06:43I am really sorry.

06:45Damodar and his wife

06:46were shocked

06:47by Changilal's confession.

06:49But,

06:49instead of scolding him,

06:51Damodar smiled

06:52and forgave him.

06:53Changilal,

07:09Saying this,

07:10Damodar opened

07:11a lunch box.

07:12Feeding Changilal

07:13from his hands,

07:15he said,

07:15But for now,

07:19Tears rolled down

07:21Changilal's eyes

07:22and he realized,
