The man who pulls
rickshaw for money is a rickshaw puller. A rickshaw puller is quite familiar in
cities and towns. He lives in a slum. His dress is very shabby. His income is
very poor. He supports his family through much hardship. He has no rickshaw of
his own. He toils hard. In all weathers good and bad he is seen carrying
passengers. He bargains with his passengers. He demands more when the weather
is very hot or foul. Sometimes he tries to cheat passengers. But most often he
is cheated by passengers. A rickshaw puller is seen sleeping on his rickshaw beneath
a tree or sitting idly on his rickshaw. Though he drives rickshaw from morning
till late night, he leads a very miserable life. His life is full of sorrows
and sufferings. He can not enjoy peace and happiness. If he becomes sick, he
can not drive his rickshaw and earn money. So he and his family starve. If he
can earn more than his expectation, his face smiles. But this opportunity is
very rare in his life.
