#The Light of Truth

Once upon a time in a quiet village nestled between green hills, lived a poor boy named Ayaan. He was known for his honesty, even though he had very little. Every day, he helped his mother sell vegetables in the market. He never cheated anyone, and always returned extra coins if someone paid more by mistake.

One day, Ayaan found a small bag full of gold coins lying on the road. It would have changed his life forever. For a moment, he thought about keeping it, but his heart reminded him of what his mother always said: “Truth is a light that never fades.”

He picked up the bag and went to the village chief to announce that he had found something valuable. A few hours later, a rich man came looking for his lost bag. When he saw Ayaan holding it, he was surprised and asked, “You’re so poor… why didn’t you keep it?”

Ayaan smiled and replied, “Because I may be poor in wealth, but not in truth.”

The man was touched. He not only gave Ayaan a reward but also offered him a job in his company. Ayaan’s honesty had opened the door to a better life—not just for him, but for his family too.

From that day, everyone in the village told their children the story of Ayaan—the boy who proved that truth always shines, no matter how dark the world may be.
