Lute was the only daughter of Mrs. Thomas, who was a poor widow staying in a remote village. She used to earn money for the livelihood by sewing clothes of the people. Mrs. Thomas was an asthmatic patient. One day Mrs. Thomas gave fifty rupees to Lute so that she could buy a toy for herself. Mrs. Thomas wanted to keep Lute happy. She has saved fifty rupees from her earnings to buy a toy for Lute. Lute went to the market to buy a toy. She was tempted to see so many nice toys in the market. A lovely doll that sang a musical song…A wonderful car that ran so fast…a barking dog that barked so loud, every toy was fascinating. Lute was going to buy the singing doll, when all of a sudden a thought entered into her mind. Her mother was suffering from asthmatic attacks. She did not have money to buy an inhaler that could give relief to her asthmatic problem. Lute went to the chemist shop and bought an inhaler for her mother with the money her mother has given to buy a toy. When she bought the inhaler for her mother at home her mother embraced Lute with tears in her eyes.
