A RICKSHAW PULLER

The man who pulls a rickshaw for money is a rickshaw puller. A rickshaw puller is quite familiar in cities and towns. He lives in a slum. His dress is very shabby. His income is very poor. He supports his family though much hardship. He has no rickshaw of his own. He toils hard. In all weathers good and bad he is seen carrying passengers. He bargains with his passengers. He demands more when the weather is very hot or foul. Sometimes he tries to cheat passengers. But most often he is cheated by passengers. A rickshaw puller is seen sleeping in his rickshaw beneath a tree or sitting idly in his rickshaw. Though he drives a rickshaw from morning till late nigh, he leads a very miserable life. His life is full of sorrows and sufferings. He can not enjoy peace and happiness. If he becomes sick, he can not drive his rickshaw and earn money. So he and his family starve. If he can earn more than his expectation, his face smiles. But this opportunity is very rare in his life.
