To take loan is the farmer's necessity and his necessity becomes the money lender's bread and butter. This story s abut one such farmer who has two sons-Suraj and Karma. Suraj is very intelligent and good in his studies and Karma is just the opposite; because his mother died after giving him birth and hence he was deprived of his father's love. To provide good education to Suraj, Hardayal takes loan from the moneylender Thakur Sher Bahadur, but Hardayal is unable to pay back all his life and the interest keeps increasing.
