A poor old woman was living in the neighborhood of Guru's Haveli.
<br/><br/>Being a widow and issueless, she was living alone. She would make her both ends meet by spinning thread.
<br/><br/>Whenever the child Guru was finding that old woman had gone outside. He would enter her house and used to scatter her cotton balls and thread spun by her.
<br/><br/>The poor woman would complain to Mata Gujri against this mischief of the child Guru.
<br/><br/>But Mata Gujri instead of saying something to child Guru, would console the old woman and by giving her a lot of money compensated her loss.
<br/><br/>One day Mata Gujhri said, 'My dear child, why are you playing mischief on this poor old woman? What do you get by scattering cotton balls?'
<br/><br/>On hearing this, the child Guru said, 'Though I am not getting anything by playing this mischief but this old woman gets a lot of money. What you give her is much more, what she can earn. I want to save the labour of this old mother.'
<br/><br/>Hearing these words of child Guru, Mata Gujri felt very happy.
<br/><br/>The child Guru was also giving alms to the poor children. He was taking money from his grandmother and used it to distribute it among the needy.
<br/><br/>Due to his benevolent nature all children had great respect for him they were always at his back and call.
<br/><br/>In the evening when they were returning to their homes after playing the games, he served them candy and sweets.
