One day, an elderly postman knocked on the door of a house and said, “Take the letter.” Soon a girl answered, “I am coming now. Please wait.”

But after 5 minutes, no one came. The postman said again, “Is there anyone who can take your letter? 1 have to go to many more places.”

The girl replied, “Uncle, if you are in a hurry, put the letter under the door. I am coming but it will take some more time.”

That was a registered letter, so the postman had to wait for the girl’s signature.

After 10 minutes, the door opened. The postman was angry about the delay. He was about to shout at the girl but he was shocked to see that in front of him, was a handicapped girl who had no legs.

The postman quietly gave the letter, took her signature and left.

The girl lived alone in her house. Her parents worked far away. In a month or two, whenever mails came, the postman would wait patiently at the door.

The girl noticed that the postman came barefoot to deliver mails.

Rainy season came. One day when the postman left after giving letters, his footprints were left on the west soil. The girl came out with a piece of paper, put it on the ground and took down pictures of the feet.

Diwali, a traditional festival, was about to come and people were busy preparing gifts for their family and friends. The postman bought a small chocolate for the girl. He handed it to the girl and said, “Take this small gift from your uncle’s side.”

The girl was happy and asked the postman to wait. Then she brought a big box and said, “Uncle, this is a gift from my side to you on Diwali.”

The postman was surprised. The girl continued, “Uncle, please don’t refuse my gift. I will be sad.”

The postman kept the box and lovingly put his hand on the girl’s head as if blessing her.

After going back to the post office, the postman opened the box and saw a pair of shoes. The postman burst into tears. When his workmate asked why he cried, he told him everything and said with wet eyes, “That girl saw me barefoot and gave me shoes but how will I be able to give her feet?”
