Gru was a rich businessman in a town. One day, two men Ray and Say from a nearby village went to Gru in search of some job. Gru made them both his servants.
Days passed by, Ray was very clever and would perfectly complete the tasks assigned to him. Say was foolish and lazy. Gru was very much impressed with Ray's work and gradually started assigning important tasks to Ray.
Say started feeling jealous about this. One day he went to Gru and said, "Sir, Ray and I joined as servants on the same day. But you are biased towards Ray. That's why you give important tasks to him. You should give equal importance to me as well."
Gru understood what Say was thinking. He told Say, "Ok, I will give you a task. A new ship will arrive at our harbour today. Go and find out, if the ship had arrived." Say was very happy that his master had given him an important task.
He ran towards the harbour and returned saying, "Yes Sir, the ship has reached our harbour". Gru asked him, "Do you know the time at which the ship reached our town?" Say didn't know the answer and he ran to the harbour again. He came back saying, "Sir, the ship came to our town at 7 in the morning". This time Gru asked, "Ok. What is there in that ship?" Again Say didn't know what was inside the ship. So again, he ran to the harbour and came back. "Sir, they have brought coconuts in the ship", he replied to his master.
Then, Gru called Ray and gave him the same task to go and find out if the ship had arrived at the harbour. Ray came back in sometime and said, "Yes Sir, the ship had reached our town at seven in the morning. They have carried coconuts from our neighbouring county. The coconuts are in good condition and the rate is very economical too".
Say was looking at Ray with surprise. Gru smiled at Say and said, "Look, this is why, I give important tasks to Ray, not because I am biased towards him." Say realised his mistake.
