Long ago, in a small village, there lived two best friends named Aarav and Kabir. They had grown up together and shared everything. However, their nature was different. Aarav was kind and thoughtful, while Kabir often dreamed of becoming rich quickly and sometimes became greedy.
One day, while exploring the forest, they found an old and dusty map hidden under a rock. The map showed the path to a mysterious cave. Written on it were strange words:
"Inside this cave lies a magical diamond that can grant one wish. But beware — if a greedy person asks for a wish, the diamond will punish them."The two friends were excited and decided to search for the cave the next morning.
🌑 The Secret Cave
After walking through thick forests and climbing rocky hills, they finally reached the cave. It was dark and silent inside. Suddenly, they saw a glowing blue diamond floating in the air at the center of the cave.
A deep voice echoed around them:
"Only a pure heart may make a wish."
Aarav felt nervous, but Kabir's eyes shone with excitement and greed.💎 The Test of Desire
Without thinking, Kabir stepped forward and said loudly,
"I want to become the richest person in the world!"
At once, the diamond flashed with a bright light. The cave shook, and an angry voice thundered:
"Greed brings punishment!"
Kabir suddenly felt weak and frightened. The light surrounded him, and he realized his mistake. Tears filled his eyes as he said,
"I am sorry… I don't want riches. I just want my friend and a peaceful life."Now it was Aarav's turn. He closed his eyes and said gently,
"My wish is for everyone in our village to live happily and safely."
The diamond glowed softly, filling the cave with warmth and peace.
🌈 The True Treasure
Suddenly, the diamond disappeared and a voice spoke one last time:
"Kindness is the greatest treasure. A selfless wish is more powerful than any wealth."
When the friends returned to their village, they saw positive changes everywhere. People helped each other, crops grew better, and happiness spread among everyone.
Kabir learned an important lesson that day — riches do not make a person great; a good heart does.
Moral: Greed leads to loss, but kindness brings true happiness.
The light slowly calmed down.
