The death merchant

That man was a renowned person all over the country.He was reading newspaper early morning and was shocked to see a news.There must have been hoax news to the newspaper office about his death and the news paper had published it without confirming it.He knew that this must have become a big news and so all papers must have carried it out.Since he was a renowned person,as he had just invented dynamite and had just been applauded by the government,he was curious how people must have reacted to it.He was very proud that he had done a great contribution to the mankind.So people would surely be mourning his death.So he went through all the newspapers.He was surprised to see so much hatred about him.One paper quoted," King of bombs died". Another quoted,"The Death merchant dies".
He was moved by this and introspected that he might have done more harm by his invention than good.
He decided then and there itself that he didnt want to be remembered as a 'Death merchant'.He wanted to something to compensate for the prospective harm he might have caused to the mankind.From that day he started working for peace.He set up a foundation to encourage people who are contributing to the mankind in various areas.He was Alfred Nobel
