In a peaceful village lived a young boy named Sam and his father, Ravi, a woodcutter. Ravi was known for his honesty. One afternoon, while working in the forest, Ravi found a shiny gold coin tucked under a tree root. When he brought it home, Sam’s eyes lit up. 'Dad, we can buy so many toys with this!' Sam exclaimed joyfully. But Ravi looked thoughtful. 'Sam, this doesn't belong to us. Someone must be searching for it,' he said quietly.
The next day, an elderly man came to the village square, weeping because he had lost his small pouch of coins. Ravi realized the coin he found belonged to this man. For a brief moment, a thought crossed Ravi's mind: 'What if I just keep it? No one will know.' But immediately, his heart raced with a sense of dread. A voice inside him whispered, 'If you act unfairly, you are inviting your own downfall.' Overcoming the temptation, Ravi approached the man and returned the pouch. The old man blessed him with tears of gratitude. Sam watched his father with immense pride, learning that true peace comes only from doing what is right.
