A man gambled in a casino. Unfortunately, he lost everything. Dejected, he headed for the restroom.
He found that the toilet door opened with a one-rupee coin. Distressed, he stood in front of the door.
Another man noticed his predicament and gave him a one-rupee coin. The defeated gambler was grateful.
He insisted on noting down the name and address of his benefactor and promised that, no matter what, he would repay his debt someday.
After the donor left, when he tried to open the door by putting the money in the crack, he found that the door was already open.
Probably after someone had used the toilet, he had not closed the door behind him.
Anyway, when he came out of the restroom and reached the lobby, he still had the one rupee he had borrowed.
Driven by habit, the gambler put that rupee on the line, winning forty rupees.
His fortunes took a turn, and that very night he not only made up for his loss but also won another five and a half lakh rupees.
He then boarded a plane and flew to Bombay, where he used the money to open a fast food restaurant.
That restaurant was so successful that within a few years, he opened many restaurants across India and also a five-star deluxe hotel.
Then two hotels, then three hotels, then hotels abroad –it went on.
In his old age, he once narrated his success story in a meeting of his board of directors and said in a very emotional voice,
“This miracle that happened to me was because of one man, just one man. If I meet that man today, I would weigh him in gold and diamonds and jewels."
"That guy," said a director, "is it the one who gave you one rupee to put in the toilet at a casino in Nepal?"
"No, not him. I have his address. I'm looking for the man who left the toilet door open."
Hahaha.
