It was a bright, sunny morning in the garden. Little Kavin and his father, Somu, were busy planting new saplings. Kavin was a helpful boy, always eager to do his part, even though he was still quite small.
As they were working, they found a perfect spot for a beautiful rose bush. However, there was one problem: a large, grey stone was sitting right where the plant needed to go. "Oh no, Papa! This stone is in the way. How can we move it?" Kavin asked with a worried face.
Somu smiled kindly and said, "Why don't you try it yourself first, Kavin? Use whatever you can to move it."
Kavin was determined. He rushed to the stone and tried to push it with all his might. He grunted and strained, but the stone didn't budge even an inch. Next, he found a sturdy wooden stick and tried to use it as a lever, pushing against the edge of the rock. He pushed and pushed until his face turned red, but the stone remained stuck in the dirt.
Feeling defeated and tired, Kavin sat down on the grass. Tears welled up in his eyes. "I can't do it, Papa. It's just too heavy!" he sobbed.
Somu walked over and knelt beside him. "Kavin, I told you to use every resource available to you. But you forgot one very important thing."
"What did I forget?" Kavin asked, wiping his eyes.
"You forgot to use me!" Somu said with a warm smile. He reached out, placed his strong hands alongside Kavin's small ones, and together they pushed. With a great heave and a loud 'thud', the stone finally rolled out of the way.
Kavin cheered loudly. "We did it! Thank you, Papa. I couldn't have done that alone!"
Somu hugged him and said, "Remember, Kavin, when a task feels too big for you, never be afraid to ask for help. Together, we can move mountains."
Moral
Never be afraid to ask for help when a task feels too big to handle alone.
