honest wages is a right of the worker , which he has alone earned, the one page story paints a vivid picture of a market place set on fire, everyone is busy robbing things he can carry home, nobody calls the fire brigade , a man sings , a small boy carries papad packets one falls down to burn in the fire, a good natured man carrying a sewing machine gives wise advice , a sugar sack rolls down a cart to be torn and sugar quickly disappears,, mulmul cotton rolls fall down adding fuel to fire, to turn to ashes,
, ten strong men pull out an iron safe of a rich man to break it open, an old motor blowing its horn passes by, someone carrying as many as he can upto his chin milk cans of cows and goats crosses past, only all was gathered free , nobody had paid a penny for anything , they were toiling for free, trading more for nothing spent
, till the story makes it point at the end, that a honest labourer who also needed a sack of rice for his family was doing it free of cost but if others are sharing the spoils of his labour they must pay his wages
--whether its just insignificant coin it matters so much to him
