Joy of sharing
This story teaches us to keep everyone around us happy.
Story
Chiku the rabbit was very sad today. The carrots he had collected for a week had gone bad due to insects. Mini the mouse, his friend, came to meet him.
Chiku shared all his troubles with Mini. Mini took him outside the forest to a field where Chiku found plenty of carrots. Chiku was happy now, and seeing his joy, Mini was also very happy.
As Chiku was happily hopping with the carrots, he heard someone screaming in pain. The voice was coming from the mango tree nearby. Chiku asked the tree about the cause of its pain.
The tree said, “My branches are bending due to the weight of these fruits, and it's causing me a lot of pain.”
Chiku ran and brought Golu the elephant. Chiku and Golu made several mangoes fall using Golu's trunk. The tree felt relieved and thanked Golu. Chiku and Golu shared the mangoes equally.
Golu, carrying mangoes with his trunk, headed towards his home. On the way, he saw some poor children who had been hungry for days and were begging for food. Golu gave all his mangoes to those children. They happily enjoyed the mangoes, and Golu was pleased to see them happy and satisfied.
In the end, Chiku and Golu shared the remaining mangoes. Golu, the elephant, holding mangoes in his trunk, went towards his home, content and happy. He had never felt such happiness before.
Dear children, when we try to make others happy, our happiness also increases. Therefore, we should strive to keep everyone around us happy.
