Story shared by Agastya Kapoor:
I went to this shop to take a print. I told the man to print me one copy of the file but he printed 2, maybe by mistake. When it was the time of billing, I asked how much did I have to pay. Per copy is Rupees 10, so the owner told that I need to pay Rupees 20.
I told him that I asked for only one copy. He confirmed it form the man on the printer and he was scared and full of guilt, and he admitted that I told him one copy. I told him that I'll pay only Rupees 10 and the owner agreed, in disgust. But, my heart didn't agree to this. I immediately told him that I'll pay Rupee 15 instead. I told him that together, we'll bear the loss. The owner was shocked for a fraction of second and agreed happily.

He turned
around and told the man "देख, ये होता है व्यहार." They both felt so
happy about this behavior and the man told me that India needs more
people like me. Just Rupees 5 made a change, it touched two hearts and
created a win-win situation for all. Just by offering myself to his
loss, his whole world was moved, moved by love!
Compassion can move mountains!
