A few months later, Yusuf was called from YB Chavan College of Pharmacy. Here he used to work as a lab assistant. But, the place where Yusuf used to work was about 16 km away from his home. To go there, Yusuf decided to go with his old man. But, then due to the high prices of petrol (around Rs 111), he did not ride the bike. After a few days, his bike was lying in ruins. Then he could not even fix his bike. Then he remembered the horse.
