Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a boy named Adi. He was helpful, kind-hearted and hard-working.
One day, Adi saw an old woman carrying some sticks and asked her if she needed help. The old woman was grateful for his help. He carried the sticks and when they reached her house, Adi asked if she could give him something to eat as he was hungry. She gave him some bread.
On his way back home, Adi saw an old man. “I’m hungry,” he said. “Can you give me some food?” He gave the bread to the old man.
Next day, he was on his way to the forest to collect firewood when he saw a little boy shivering. Adi gave his coat to the boy, who was grateful for the gesture.
He was getting the firewood when a fairy came and said, “God has given you a big and kind heart. You have done many good things. What would you like me to give you?”
He was surprised and said that he didn’t want anything. “I want everyone to be happy,” he said. The fairy was pleased. “Oh! You really do have a big heart. I must give you something.”
So, Adi asked for her blessings. A few days later, he found a treasure and his family became rich. Adi continued to help the poor and old people.
