Once a boy wanted to be a holy man. So he gave away his possessions and moved into an abandoned shed behind the Town Hall. He spent his days doing good deeds for the community and soon became known for his selfless acts which he performed even as he became increasingly ill and undernourished. Although he started out as the holy boy who gave everything to help others, he ended up as the selfish person who started the cholera epidemic that destroyed the town. If only he had taken the trouble to drink only clean water and to seek medical attention and stay home when he fell ill.
