In a peaceful village lived a young boy named Arjun. Arjun came from a very wealthy family, but he had a habit that made people stay away from him. He rarely smiled, spoke harshly to others, and often made fun of people's mistakes.
One sunny afternoon, while walking to the village fair, a young boy named Ravi accidentally bumped into Arjun. Terrified, Ravi stammered, 'I am so sorry, Arjun!' Instead of being kind, Arjun scowled and snapped, 'Watch where you are going, you clumsy fool!' Ravi walked away with tears in his eyes.
Arjun's grandfather, who had witnessed this, called him aside. 'Arjun,' he said gently, 'Wealth is not measured by the gold in your house, but by the grace in your heart. To be truly noble, you need four things: a cheerful face, a generous hand, sweet words, and a heart that never looks down on others.'
Arjun felt a pang of guilt. He realized that his words had hurt Ravi more than a physical bump would have. The next day, Arjun went looking for Ravi. When he found him, Arjun gave him a bright, warm smile and said, 'Ravi, I am sorry for being rude yesterday. It was my fault too.' He then shared his favorite box of sweets with Ravi. Seeing Ravi's joyful face, Arjun felt a happiness he had never known before. He realized that being 'noble' wasn't about his family name, but about how he treated the world.
