In a peaceful village lived a boy named Arjun. He had a younger brother, Rohan, who was quite mischievous and often teased Arjun just to see him get angry. One afternoon, while Arjun was carefully painting a wooden model he had worked on for days, Rohan ran past and knocked it over, breaking it into pieces. Arjun felt a surge of hot anger. 'I will make him pay for this!' he thought, clenching his fists.
The next day, while walking to the village market, Rohan tripped over a large stone and fell heavily. He scraped his knee badly and began to cry in pain. Some children nearby laughed at his clumsiness, but Arjun didn't laugh. Instead, he rushed to his brother, helped him up, and carefully walked him home, cleaning his wound with water.
Rohan looked up at Arjun with teary eyes and asked, 'Why are you being so kind to me? I was so mean to you yesterday.' Arjun smiled gently and replied, 'Being angry is easy, Rohan, but choosing not to hurt those who hurt us is true wisdom.' From that day on, Rohan stopped being a bully and became Arjun's most loyal companion. Arjun had shown him that the highest form of intelligence is not reacting to evil with more evil.
