Rashid spent spent his most life in petty thefts. Poverty had shaped him into a thief. He has no time to difference between right and wrong. Every day, he wander in the streets. He pick pockets or steal something from shops whenever he got the chance. But deep inside, he feel restlessness and uneasy.
One night, as he went to the market searching for his next target. An old beggar suddenly appeared before him there. There was something strange about his eyes, an unusual glow. He looks like that he could see through Rashid’s soul.
The beggar held out an old book and said, “Take this. It will change your fate.”
Rashid smiled and took the book and think it can be valuable. But when he flipped all its pages, he found nothing. There were only blank sheets. He became anger and he turned to return it, but the beggar had vanished. Confused, he put book into his pocket and went home.
That night, something strange happened. When he opened the book again, words had appeared: "Every man gets a last chance. Will you recognize yours?" Rashid surprised.
Next morning, he found a new sentence, "Your hands can create or destroy choose wisely."
Days passed, every time Rashid when open the book, a new sentence guide him. Slowly, he began to question his choices. But he still hesitated was it too late to change?
One night, he saw an old shopkeeper counting his money. A perfect target. As he move closer, the book in his pocket suddenly felt heavy. Something urged him to stop. He hesitated and in that moment, the shopkeeper looked up and smiled.
“You look like a hardworking young man. Do you need a job?” the shopkeeper asked.
Rashid amazed. Was this his last chance? Spoke in his heart. He looked at the book one last time. The words had changed again: "You have chosen your path."
Tears shedding in his eyes when he nodded. That night, for the first time in years, Rashid felt light, if he had been freed from invisible chains.

Sometimes, all it takes is a moment, a choice, a last chance to change a lifetime. He accepted job and left theft.
