That land being not so profitable for him,<br />
he once thought to sell it but seven<br />
acres was a huge chunk of land. So after<br />
thinking a lot, he decided not to sell the<br />
land but give it on rent to the company.<br />
The industry started its work but<br />
pollution emanating from the factory<br />
adversely affected the villagers. The<br />
waste produced were dumped into water<br />
and poisonous gases released into the<br />
air. But Subhash was very happy as he<br />
kept on earning money through those<br />
land. He did not care a bit about the<br />
environment. He was so greedy that he<br />
did not bother to keep his father’s advice<br />
and words about taking care of mango<br />
trees and the farm.<br />
One day Subhash had a horrible<br />
dream. He dreamt that the chemical<br />
industry which was established on<br />
Subhash’s land had emanated so much<br />
pollution that all the persons of village<br />
got infected and suffered from severe<br />
diseases and many people died. Police<br />
came to arrest the head of industry.<br />
However he told them that the land<br />
didn’t belong to them but to a villager<br />
named Subhash.<br />
The police then arrested Subhash and<br />
seized everything from him as he was<br />
responsible for many deaths. All<br />
villagers laughed at him for his deed.<br />
While he was taken to the jail, all of a<br />
sudden the dream broke and Subhash was<br />
awake shouting, “oh, no!”<br />
