Describe the following with the help of the story.
The rich young man
उत्तर
The rich young man, who lived in the same town as Thiruvalluvar, was arrogant, and proud of his riches. He wasted most of his time roaming around with his friends. They often made fun of other people. The young man had heard that Thiruvalluvar never got angry, and he took this as a challenge. He tried to make him angry by reducing to rags the beautiful fabric woven by him. He became impatient and agitated when Thiruvalluvar remained calm. He then arrogantly offered to pay for the rags. However. Thiruvalluvar's softly spoken words of explanation touched his heart, and he decided to give up his idleness and bad habits.
