A person named Sadan was born in a village situated on the seashore. He was poor. He used to take passengers on a boat and take them on a sea trip. His livelihood depended on his work. He lived in an old hut. He had an old radio on which he used to listen to songs and news. Life was going well. He returned home in the evening. At night he was lying on his cot. The news was coming on the radio that the weather may change for thirty days and there is a possibility of storm and cyclone in the sea. Therefore, you should not go near the sea for 30 days. Stay at home. Stay safe. He became sad after hearing this. Due to fatigue, he fell asleep while lying down. It was morning. He took his boat and went towards the sea. After some time he reached the seashore. There was no one around the sea. Slow winds were blowing. The sky was covered with dark clouds. Sadan was sitting sadly on the seashore. After a few hours it was evening. The sun was about to set. Sadan started walking towards his hut dragging his boat. Time passed like this. Two weeks passed. Sadan had run out of money and ration. He started starving. Two days passed. He had become very weak now. Sixteen days had passed. It was morning. Sadan went towards the sea dragging his boat on an empty stomach. Even today there was no one there. He put his boat in the water and lay down in it. He kept staring at the sky for some time. The sky was covered with dark clouds. Strong winds were blowing. Slowly the weather started changing. The waves started rising high. A cyclone developed in the sea. The clouds started thundering. It started raining. Seeing the cyclone Sadan started trembling with fear. He felt that his end was near. He fell unconscious. The waves took Sadan's boat to an island. Sadan's boat was completely broken. Sadan was lying unconscious on the seashore of the island. The cyclone had calmed down. The waves of the sea had become normal. Some local tribals of the island picked Sadan up and took him to their hut. Sadan was woken up. The tribals gave him some fruits to eat. Sadan told the tribals everything. Sadan stayed with them for a few days. Now Sadan felt like going home. But his boat had become useless. Sadan knew this. He went to the seashore where his boat was lying. He was surprised to see the boat. The boat had been completely repaired. He was delighted. He came to know that the tribals had repaired his boat. Sadan thanked the tribals and said goodbye and started walking towards his home. After some time he reached the seashore. There were many travellers present on the shore. Thirty days had passed. He was elated to see the travellers. He thanked the tribals and God in his heart and got busy with his work.
