#Polly’s soul is a fictitious story of a retired man named Mr. Polly Parker. He was a poor man, who got retired five years before his death and din’t get his pension yet and died out worrying about it as he was very poor. When an angel came from heaven to take Polly’s soul, the soul escaped from the angel’s hand and disappeared suddenly. To search out the soul the angel almost took about 5 days but couldn’t find it anywhere.


#The angel searched all through the universe every possible place he would find the soul, but was unable to do so. The angel was worried and stupefied and told about the same to another angel, who was quite intelligent.


#He was amazed to hear it and went to Polly’s house to find out what was wrong. From Polly’s wife he came to know that they were poor and his husband died wandering from one officer to another so that he could get his pension. The angel was very sorry to hear it, so he went to the government office and asked an accountant to give the pension of Polly to his wife but it went in vain.


#The officer asked the angel to give him some money to do the work. So the angel gave away his crown and when the officer opened the records of Polly?s pension, Polly’s soul suddenly came out of the files. And began saying that ?this was the biggest trouble of my life and this was the only reason why I couldn’t go to heaven with the angel, he wanted to stay in the files until the officer gave his pension to his wife so that at least she could live peacefully. Finally Polly thanked the angel and went along with him.


#This story shows how corrupted the world is. Today’s world had become corrupt. Corruption is everywhere from milk man who adds water in the milk to the greatest business tycoons. Because of this corruption the common man of today have to suffer a lot even for the trivial things .


Hoping when will time change so that there should be an end to corruption and they can live peacefully...Oh God Corruption Corruption Corruption everywhere corruption!!! Is there any end of it??? Hope so!!!
