In a peaceful village lived two best friends, Arjun and Leo. They did everything together. One afternoon, during a friendly race, Arjun won. Leo felt a sting of jealousy. The next day, Leo decided to play a 'prank.' He hid Arjun's favorite cricket bat, thinking it would be funny to see Arjun search for it. He thought, 'It's just a joke, it's not like I'm being mean!'
However, as the hours passed, Leo saw Arjun sitting alone under a tree, looking utterly heartbroken and lonely. The 'joke' didn't feel funny anymore. Leo realized that by trying to make himself feel superior through a trick, he was actually planting the seeds of resentment and hurt. He felt a heavy weight in his chest. He went to Arjun, returned the bat, and apologized sincerely. Leo learned that even in play, one should never harbor intentions that cause spite or hatred.
