पिताने अपने नन्हे से पुत्रको कुछ पैसे देकर बाजार भेजा फल लानेके लिये। बच्चेने रास्तेमें देखा, कुछ लोग, जिनके बदनपर चिथड़े भी पूरे नहीं हैं, भूखके मारे छटपटा रहे हैं। उसने पैसे उनको दे दिये। उन्होंने उन पैसोंसे उसी समय उदरपूर्तिके लिये सामान खरीद लिया। बालकको इससे बड़ी खुशी हुई। वह मन-ही-मन फूलता हुआ खाली हाथ घर लौट आया। पिताने पूछा – ‘बेटा! फल नहीं लाये ?’ बालकने उत्तर दिया- ‘आपके लिये अमरफल लाया हूँ पिताजी!’पिताने पूछा—’वह कौन-सा ?’ उसने कहा- ‘पिताजी! मैंने देखा –कुछ अपनेही-जैसे आदमियोंको भूखों मरते हुए, मुझसे रहा नहीं गया। मैंने वे सब पैसे उनको दे दिये। उनकी आजभरकी भूख मिट गयी ! हमलोग फल खाते, दो-चार क्षणोंके लिये हमारे मुँह मीठे हो जाते; परंतु इसका फल तो अमर है न पिताजी!’ पिता भी बड़े धार्मिक थे। पुत्रकी बात सुनकर उन्हें बड़ी प्रसन्नता हुई !

यही बालक आगे चलकर संत रंगदास हुए !

The father gave some money to his little son and sent him to the market to bring fruits. The child saw on the way, some people, whose rags are not even complete, are writhing in hunger. He gave the money to them. With that money, he bought things for his stomach at the same time. The child was very happy with this. He returned home empty-handed, blooming in his heart. Father asked – ‘ Son! Didn’t bring fruits?’ The child replied – ‘I have brought amaranth for you father!’ The father asked – ‘Which one?’ He said – ‘Father! I saw some people like myself dying of hunger, I could not help but cry. I gave all that money to him. His hunger for the whole day has gone away! When we eat fruits, our mouth becomes sweet for a moment or two; But its fruit is immortal, isn’t it father!’ Father was also very religious. He was very happy to hear the words of his son.
This child later became Saint Rangdas.
