In a peaceful village, a young boy named Arjun lived with his grandfather. Arjun loved gardening more than anything else. One sunny morning, his grandfather gave him a tiny sapling and said, "Arjun, take care of this plant. But remember, knowing when to water it and when to prune it is just as important as the care itself."
A few days later, the sky looked heavy with clouds. Arjun thought, "It looks like it might rain soon. If I water the plant now, it might get too much water. I'll wait for the rain."
However, the rain never came. Instead, a scorching heatwave swept through the village. By the afternoon, Arjun noticed the little sapling's leaves were drooping and turning brown. He felt a pang of worry in his heart. He immediately rushed to fetch water and carefully soaked the roots.
His grandfather, watching from the porch, walked over and said, "Arjun, waiting for the rain was a good thought, but you must observe the signs. When the plant was thirsty, that was its moment. A wise person acts in harmony with the time. Doing the right thing at the right time is like a strong rope that holds success firmly."
Arjun learned that being prepared and acting according to the season and situation is the key to growth. From that day on, he always watched the sky and the soil closely before making his decisions.
