of his art within a short period. Ilahi became as accomplished as his father. Now he

was happy and satisfied. One day, Ahmed's condition became so bad that the

doctors could not save him. The very next day, Islam told Salim and Ilahi to move
out of the house. Salim shifted to his houseboat but did not take Ilahi. Ilahi shifted

to a rented house and began living there. Ilahi had all the good qualities of his
father, so it did not take

long to capture the

market. His business
flourished and he began

earning a lot of money. He

built a big house for himself
and bought a big piece of

land.

Sometimes things take a

queer turn. There was an
earthquake and a heavy storm in

which Islam's house collapsed

and Salim’s boat capsized.
Now, Islam and Salim were

left without any shelter.

They were feeling guilty
but had nowhere else to

go except to their brother. Islam said, "We both are sorry for our heartlessness.

Kindly forgive us and allow us to stay with you for a few days till we can make other
arrangements."

Then Ilahi's wife, who had been listening to their discussion came out. She said,
"Why for a few days only? You can live with us permanently. After all you are my

husband's real brothers. It's good that you have realized your mistake. But, it's
never too late."

There was a happy reunion among the brothers. They embraced each other with

true love for each other and began living together.
