They bought a monkey for RS 300 from their neighbor a monkey named Tintin as it was ill-treated by the owner. When it died a year later they adopted another monkey and named it Chunmam and looked after it as their own child and a room in the house with AC and a swinging cradle was provided for the monkey’s comfort..
After Chunmam came to their house the couple’s business enterprise prospered getting them lot of wealth and therefore they named their firm Chunmam enterprise.They got Chunmam married to a female Betti owned by another person.
Every year on their wedding anniversary the couple host a dinner for 100 people besides feeding other monkeys in the area. The couples say that ever since the monkey came to their house they have prospered and so it is their duty to ensure that they are looked after well. Not only that they have set up a Trust called Chunmam and bequeathed their property by a will and the Trust will spend the money for the welfare of monkeys.
There are people in this world to reward a monkey with their affection and benevolence.There are people in our midst who have struggled and sweated to bring name and fame in the place of their working and brought it to the pinnacle of glory. Will their loyalty and hard work get recognized and they be taken care of at least in the fag end of their life.?. Who should answer this ?.
The above incident really happened in Rae Bareli district in LUCKNOW and reported in a newspaper.
