In a peaceful village lived an elderly man named Somu. He was highly respected by everyone, known for his wise words and the honorable history of his family. His lineage was a symbol of integrity. However, his son, Ravi, had a growing weakness: a hunger for things he couldn't afford.
One day, driven by a desire to look wealthy, Ravi borrowed a large sum of money from a local merchant at a very high interest rate. He promised to pay it back quickly, but instead, he spent the money on flashy clothes and expensive trinkets to impress his neighbors. For a few days, he felt like a king.
But soon, the reality hit. When the repayment date arrived, Ravi had nothing. To avoid the merchant's anger, he had to beg for more time and eventually resort to humiliating pleas for money. The man who once spoke with dignity was now forced to speak with desperation and shame. His greed had not only emptied his pockets but had also tarnished the noble reputation his family had built over generations. Ravi realized too late that the pursuit of hollow luxury had cost him his true worth.
