In a bright little village lived a boy named Arjun. Arjun was energetic and brave, but he had one flaw: he never thought before he acted. His best friend, Rohan, was calm and observant, always knowing exactly what to say when it mattered most.
One sunny afternoon, Arjun decided to climb the old, creaky mango tree at the edge of the village. Rohan watched him from below and felt uneasy. "Arjun, please stay on the lower branches! That top branch looks very thin," Rohan warned.
Arjun laughed loudly. "Don't be such a coward, Rohan! I know exactly what I'm doing!" he shouted, ignoring his friend's advice.
A few moments later, a loud crack echoed through the air. The thin branch snapped, and Arjun tumbled to the ground with a heavy thud. He let out a cry of pain as his ankle twisted painfully. Rohan rushed to his side immediately.
Instead of just saying 'I told you so,' Rohan looked Arjun straight in the eyes with a serious and stern expression. "Arjun, look at what happened because you wouldn't listen. A real friend doesn't just cheer for you; a real friend stops you from hurting yourself. You must learn to listen to reason," Rohan said firmly.
Arjun felt a sting in his heart, not from the fall, but from the truth in Rohan's words. He realized that Rohan wasn't being mean; he was being a true friend. From that day on, Arjun made sure to surround himself with friends who cared enough to correct him.
