One day a little boy was very upset to see the qay bapu was dressed. Such a great man yet he doesn’t even wear a shirt . He thought to himself .

Why don’t you wear a kurta, bapu? the little boy asked.
Where’s the money son? I am very poor man. i dont have a money even for one kurta, bapu replied.
The boy’s Heart was filled wth pity for bapu. My mother stitched well, he said, she make all the clothes. I will ask her to stich a kurta for you.
How many kurta can your mother make? bapu asked.
How many do you need? asked the boy. one,two,three….. she make as many as you want.
Bapu thought for moment. then, he said , but i am not alone , It would not be right for me to be the obly one to wear a kurta.
But how many you need? the boy tried to find out. I’ll ask my mother to make you need.
I have very large family,son. I have forty crore brother and sister ! Bapu explained, Till every one of them has a kurta, how can i wear one? Tell me, can your mother make kurta for all of them?
Bapu word set the boy thinking . forty crore brother and sister . bapu was right. until everyone of them had a kurta to wear how could he wear one himself after all the whole country was bapu family , and he was head of the family. He was their friends and well wisher. what use would one kurta be to him It was this very caring and loving nature of gandhijii that got him the title of the world the father of the nation
