does he live?

does he pass his days?
The man
who pulls a 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 tolls 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 in his
rickshaw beneath a tree or sitting idly in his rickshaw. Though he drives a
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 importunity is very rare in his life.
