A short story
Paper Note
by Bridge
Another shopkeeper rejected me today. I am a one rupee note. My owner Ravi takes good care of me and keeps me in his wallet with others like me.
The shopkeepers, these days do not like us and prefer the coins I do not know what they see in the coins. I think we look prettier.
Some of the notes I live with are proud because they cannot be replaced by coins like us .Why could I not be one of the lucky ones ? I still look nearly as good as I did when I was born.
I heard Ravi say to his Dad that tomorrow he will take us ,the 'useless' notes into the bank and exchange us for coins. It broke my heart to hear him say that. This is the last day of my life. I do not want to die.
