Charles Mackay tells the story of a miller in his poem
“The Miller Of The Dee”. He used to work from morning to night. He kept singing a song while working. The theme of the song was envied nobody and nobody envied him. A king happened to pass from there one day. He said that he was wrong because he envied him. The king was sad while the miller was happy. He asked the miller why he was happy. The miller replied that he earned his bread with his hands and spent the money on his family. He led a contented life and owed nothing to anyone. The king said that his mealy cap was worth his crown and his mill was worth his kingdom. He also said that such men like him were England’s pride.
#16: RESPONSIBILITIES OF A GOOD
CITIZEN: The earlier man lived by himself and for himself. As societies grew larger and men become more civilized, new professions developed. Laws were made to safeguard people. It is the duty of every citizen to work honesty. If someone is dishonest, he teaches other to be dishonest. We get the same treatment from others as we treat them. The main problems of our country are poverty, illiteracy and population growth. We can solve these problems through proper education and hard work. We can not be good Muslims without being good and dutiful citizen. We should be loyal and patriotic to Pakistan. We should also be good to our neighbours.
