Story in Words
Rohit loved to spend his Saturday afternoons at the park. It was his favorite place to relax, read, and watch the ducks swim on the lake. One sunny afternoon, he sat on a bench under a big tree, enjoying the cool breeze and the sounds of nature.
After a while, Rohit decided to buy an ice cream. He reached into his pocket for his wallet, but it wasn’t there! He searched every pocket, looked under the bench, and even checked the ground nearby. His wallet was missing. Feeling worried, Rohit thought, “How will I get home without any money?”
Just as he was about to give up, a little girl approached him. She was holding a wallet and asked, “Excuse me, sir, is this yours?” Rohit looked and saw it was indeed his wallet!
He smiled and said, “Yes! Thank you so much!” Rohit offered her a small reward, but the girl shook her head. “No need,” she replied. “My mom taught me that it’s important to help others.”
Rohit was grateful for her kindness. He bought two ice creams, one for himself and one for the little girl. They sat together, enjoying their treats and talking about their favorite things to do at the park.
