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
through 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 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 night, he leads a
very miserable life. His life is full of sorrows and sufferings. He cannot
enjoy peace and happiness. If he becomes sick, he cannot 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.
