Once upon a time, there was a prosperous land called Sundarapura. It was ruled by King Vikram. Vikram was a kind man, but he had one flaw: he believed that small mistakes and minor injustices didn't need his daily attention. 'I have so much work to do,' he would say, 'I cannot check every little thing every single day.'
One afternoon, a poor farmer named Ravi came to the palace to complain about a merchant who had cheated him. The merchant, a clever man named Som, had taken Ravi's grain and refused to pay. However, the King was busy with a feast and ignored the plea. Som saw that the King didn't care about small wrongs, so he began cheating more people.
Soon, the village was filled with arguments and fights. People stopped trusting their neighbors. Because there was no justice, the markets became empty, and the people became unhappy. The kingdom began to lose its beauty and wealth. An old wise woman named Meera approached the King. She said, 'Your Majesty, a tiny hole in a boat can sink a massive ship. If you ignore the small wrongs today, they will sink your kingdom tomorrow.'
Vikram realized his mistake. He understood that justice must be a daily habit, not a once-a-year event. He started holding daily sessions to listen to the people's grievances. As justice flowed, trust returned, and Sundarapura flourished once again.
