Sadhu’s Balancing Act: Friends, Fun, and Lion Dances

Sadhu Siddartha was a little boy who loved to watch the Chinese Lion Dance. He would sit in awe as the dancers moved gracefully, the vibrant colors of the lion's costume mesmerizing him. His parents, Mama Oya and Papa Nanda, would take him to the annual Chinese New Year celebrations, and it was always the highlight of his year.

But as he grew older, Sadhu discovered a new passion - playing Roblox. He loved creating his own virtual world and going on exciting adventures with his friends. His favorite part was building elaborate structures and seeing them come to life in the game.

Sadhu attended Mentari International School, where he had many friends. However, his best friend was his neighbor, Iqbal. They would spend hours playing Roblox together, exploring new worlds and completing quests. Sadhu also had a cousin, Alghi, who was his other best friend. They would often have sleepovers and play games late into the night.

One day, Sadhu faced a dilemma. He had promised to play Roblox with both Iqbal and Alghi at the same time. He didn't want to disappoint either of them, but he didn't know how to be in two places at once. Feeling torn, Sadhu decided to talk to his parents about it.

Mama Oya and Papa Nanda listened to Sadhu's problem and smiled. "Sadhu, it's wonderful to have friends who want to spend time with you. But it's also important to learn how to balance your time and commitments," Papa Nanda said.

Mama Oya added, "It's okay to have different friends and different interests, but you should always be honest and considerate of their feelings."

Sadhu thought about his parents' words and realized that they were right. He didn't have to choose between Iqbal and Alghi - he could find a way to spend time with both of them. He decided to organize a game night at his house, inviting both his best friend and his cousin to play Roblox together. They had a great time, and Sadhu was relieved that he didn't have to choose between his friends.

From that day on, Sadhu made sure to balance his time between his friends and his hobbies. He learned that it was possible to have different friends and different interests without neglecting anyone. He also realized that honesty and consideration were essential in maintaining good friendships.

Sadhu continued to enjoy watching the Chinese Lion Dance with his parents, playing Roblox with Iqbal and Alghi, and spending time with his friends at school. He knew that he was lucky to have such a wonderful support system, and he was grateful for all the love and guidance from Mama Oya and Papa Nanda.

The moral of Sadhu's story was that it's important to value and maintain friendships, but it's also important to be true to oneself and pursue one's interests. And with the love and wisdom of his parents, Sadhu learned to do just that.
