Arvind and the Lion's Lesson on Friendship

Once upon a time, there was a little Sikh boy named Arvind. He loved playing outside with his friends, but one day, he got into a fight with another little Sikh boy named Harjit. Arvind was so angry with Harjit that he couldn't see straight. He stomped his feet and clenched his fists, and everyone around him scattered in fear. But soon, something strange happened. As Arvind was shouting and fuming, a lion suddenly appeared out of nowhere! The lion was magnificent, with a golden mane and shining eyes. Arvind was so startled that he stopped shouting and just stared. The lion roared, "Arvind, why are you so angry with Harjit?" Arvind didn't know what to say. He felt embarrassed that a lion was asking him about his childish fight. But he told the lion the truth - he felt like Harjit had taken his toy, and he couldn't control his temper. The lion nodded knowingly. "Arvind, let me tell you a story. Once, there was a lion and an eagle. The lion was going to eat the eagle, but suddenly, the eagle said, 'Wait, lion! Why are you so angry with me?'" The lion was taken aback. He hadn't realized he was angry with the eagle. The eagle continued, "You see, lion, we are both kings of our own domains. We should be friends, not enemies. We should never fight with each other." Arvind listened to the lion's story and felt a sense of peace. He realized that it didn't matter if he disagreed with Harjit or if Harjit had taken his toy. They were both Sikhs, both part of the same community, and they should never fight with each other. With this newfound understanding, Arvind went to find Harjit and apologized. Harjit forgave him, and they became friends again. From that day forward, Arvind remembered the story of the lion and the eagle and the lesson it taught him. He wasn't perfect, but he always tried to remember that Sikhs should never fight with other Sikhs. And whenever he got angry, he reminded himself of the lion's wise words. And every once in a while, Arvind would look around the playground, hoping that he might catch a glimpse of the lion again. But he never did. He supposed that the lion was watching over all of the Sikhs, ensuring that they remembered the importance of community and friendship. The End.
