Albert was a very poor and simple man, his wife was suffering from a terminal illness for many days, and whatever Albert earned he spent on his wife's illness.

But still, he was very brave and patient and a man of faith and belief in God. His family's expenses were running very hard. He used to give skating lessons to children in the skating floor to earn extra income. And used all the income from this for the treatment of his wife.

But all his efforts were almost in vain, as his wife's condition was deteriorating daily. Due to this he was always worried and kept thinking that when and how God would help him.






All the people of the city were engaged in preparations for Christmas, there was an atmosphere of happiness, but there was a lot of shortage of money in his house. Perhaps the devil had cast an evil eye on the happiness of Albert's family.

His 9-year-old daughter also understood very well her father's compulsions and lack of money, so she never asked her father for anything. While she always used to encourage her father.


One evening while he was training the kids on the skating rink floor, a gunshot was heard outside. The gunshot probably came from the same first floor of the building on which he was giving training, Albert ran out of curiosity and saw 4-5 masked men carrying some bags going towards the ground floor by the stairs, 2 of them had guns in their hands.

   Albert was a little nervous at first, then boldly and without thinking about the risk to his life, he challenged the masked men and attacked the masked men with lightning speed. Within no time, he snatched the gun from them, seeing this bravery of Albert many other people standing there also attacked the masked men and nabbed them, by the grace of God no person was injured in this attack.

Actually, there was a gold vault on the first floor of the building in which the personal gold articles of the people were kept safe. These dacoits had come to loot this gold and they also looted some gold and tried to kill a guard posted there.

Albert calls the police after nabbing the bandits and the police squad came there within 15 minutes and arrests them. The owner of the gold vault and the police wanted to reward Albert for his wonderful bravery.

But Albert politely refused to accept the reward and said that he was just doing his duty as a good citizen and did not need any reward.

But God had to prove his faith and devotion in himself and therefore had to help him.

So the next day the owner of the gold vault, accompanied by the city's mayor and an entourage of top officials, arrives at his house, urging him to accept the $20,000 reward. Albert finally agreed to accept the prize money from the top police officers, the city's mayor, and the owner of the gold vault, who insisted on being given the prize.

All of them also assured that they would make the best arrangements for his wife's treatment.

Thus Albert's bravery, honesty and unwavering trust in God lifted him out of his miseries.

Now Albert and his family are living in a better condition than before, now his wife is also taking treatment in the best hospital in the city. 

Eventually, Albert's unwavering faith and trust in God paid off and he unexpectedly received a reward of $20,000, which he had never imagined in his life. Now he was sure that his family's Christmas festival would be celebrated very well.
