#InternetHero: Twitter Is Gushing Over This Pakistani Labourer’s Honesty

A Pakistani labourer's honest gesture is winning hearts online after he returned a pair of gold earrings to its owners who lost them 3 years ago.

A Pakistani labourer is the new hero of the internet. Not because he is impossibly goodlooking (remember the chaiwallah?), but because of a gesture that can actually be termed noble.  The labourer, who can barely make ends meet, returned a pair of gold earrings to its owners who lost them 3 years ago.

The heart-warming story was shared on Twitter by a user named Zeeshan Khattar. According to him, the labourer was working on a plot adjacent to his house and he walked up to his door to ask if they had ever lost any kind of gold jewellery.

“Today our door was knocked. My brother went out and this labour asked if we had lost something of gold ever?” Khattar’s brother told him that the family lost a pair of gold earring in 2015. And the labourer immediately took out the earrings from his pocket and handed it to him.

Attach plot to our home is under construction. Today our door was knocked. My brother went out and this labor asked if we had lost something of gold ever? My bro said, yes, one ear ring of a pair, but that was back in 2015. He pulled it out of his pocket and gave it to us pic.twitter.com/YFNdg1FRxu

Even when Khattar wanted to give him some reward, he refused.

Sure Sir. I will. He even refused a reward, which we willingly offered. Said, “God will give me reward” ..

Offered him money. He refused. Kept the money forcefully in his pocket but he returned it back with the same enthusiasm and said, “I’ll wait for the God’s reward”.

I wonder, how rare the attitude of being honest persists in our society. That labor is, no doubt, calmness in the chaos.
