In a bright little village lived a boy named Arjun. Arjun loved the idea of having a beautiful garden. One afternoon, his friend Rohan came to him with a grand plan. 'Arjun, let's prepare this patch of land and grow beautiful flowers to sell to the villagers. We will become very rich!' Rohan exclaimed.
Arjun was excited. However, they had no seeds and no small saplings. Rohan waved his hand dismissively. 'Don't worry about that now! Let's just prepare the soil first. We can buy the plants once we see the garden ready!'
They spent days working hard, digging the soil and clearing the weeds. But as the days passed, the patch of land remained just empty brown dirt. A traveling merchant passed by and saw their hard work. 'It looks like you have prepared a fine bed for plants,' the merchant remarked, 'but where are the flowers?'
Arjun looked down sadly. 'We have no seeds, sir. We thought we could start without them.' The merchant smiled kindly and said, 'My boy, you cannot expect a harvest if you haven't planted the beginning. Without the initial capital—be it seeds or resources—no success can stand firm.'
Arjun realized his mistake. He spent the next month carefully saving up for high-quality seeds. When he finally planted them, his garden flourished and stayed beautiful for years to come.
