The tale of the torn 100 dollar bill

Once upon a time, there was a beggar named Ishika.  She lived in Mumbai.  One Sunday evening, she and her fellow beggars were begging as usual outside a mall in Andheri, a suburb of Mumbai city.  Suddenly, she saw a foreigner lady with blonde hair in a fancy car.  She was about to approach her for money, but the lady called Ishika herself and handed over a note. 

Ishika has never seen a note like that before.  She asked several people on the road if they could give her some cash in exchange for it.  That was when she came to know that the note was called a dollar, and that she was given a 100 dollar bill.

So Ishika gave the note to her brother-in-law and asked him to exchange them for some rupiahs the following day.

But as soon as Ishika got home, her relatives began demanding that the money be shared with them.  Ishika tried to explain that it was a gift.  Some of the relatives started beating her up, trying to grab the note.


Frustrated with the bickering and all the confusion and unhappiness caused by the 100 dollar note, Ishika's brother-in-law tore it up.  Later, when he found out the value of the note, he regreted his action.


It turned out that the foreigner was a celebrity who was visiting Mumbai to promote her handbag and accessories line.  Her act of giving the note was caught on camera and the beggars were allegedly followed by some journalists, who allegedly interviewed them and posted the story on the net. 


The foreigner was no other than Paris Hilton!


Meanwhile, Paris read the story and tweeted:

This makes me go aaaawwwww.
