All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the miserable-hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots – and his fields. The corn that hegrew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enough – not well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was littleor no rain, then he came close to the line between life and death.
Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur hadbeen wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast.He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his lastdays with his son and his wife. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this.
On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to the sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast andon the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpurwould have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so hedid the only thing that he could do:
he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flameswere rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him.
Onhisgrave,theywrotethewords:
HereliesJalpur,amanwhogave,living;amanwhodied,giving.
