Kari's Unbreakable Fortress

In a peaceful valley lived a young boy named Kari and his wise grandfather. Kari was energetic and kind, but he had one big flaw: he acted on impulse. Whenever he got angry, he would say things he immediately regretted. One sunny afternoon, while preparing for the village festival, Kari's friend, Mani, accidentally tripped and broke Kari's favorite wooden toy. Blinded by rage, Kari shouted harsh, hurtful words at Mani in front of everyone. Mani left in tears, and the villagers looked at Kari with disappointment. That night, Kari sat in his room, feeling heavy-hearted. His grandfather sat beside him and asked, 'Kari, a king can build high walls to protect his palace, but do you know what the strongest fortress is?' Kari shook his head. 'The strongest fortress is your wisdom,' his grandfather replied gently. 'Words spoken in anger can destroy your reputation, which is like a house. But if you use your mind to stay calm and wise, no enemy or mistake can truly defeat you. Wisdom is a weapon that protects you from making wrong choices and a fortress that no one can tear down.' Kari realized his mistake. From that day on, instead of reacting with anger, he began to think before he spoke. He learned that a calm mind was his greatest strength.
