Once upon a time there was a girl named Samridhi. She was 10 years old. She was very intelligent and good girl. Everyone in the family liked her a lot. Her hobbies were drawing, dancing, pottery etc. But she had one bad habit. Whenever she was unable to finish her Tiffin, she would throw it in the garbage in school and would lie to her mom. Her mom was aware of her habit and tried all methods to stop her from doing so but she didn’t.
Totally upset with this habit of Samridhi, her mom thought of complaining it to the teacher but teacher was careless and rather she had to look at 50 students of class. So no improvement was seen in Samridhi. Then on one Sunday her mom thought of an idea which she shared with her father. He also agreed with it. So the full family planned a picnic on coming Sunday. Samridhi was excited full week and on Saturday she made all preparations for the picnic tomorrow. On Sunday the left for the picnic spot. In car her father said that he had some important work on the way which he will finish in 10 minutes. All agreed to it. Her father stopped the car near a signal where some children were begging.
Her mother asked her to go and ask the children why they were doing so. She went and asked to one of them. The beggar said “I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday. I am very hungry. I am doing this so that I can manage some food for myself and a small brother”. This shocked Samridhi. Then her mother came to her and said “Beti, we are lucky that god has given us everything we want. We don’t have to beg in front of others. You should feel lucky and thank god. And keep in mind never waste anything. If you have something extra you can give it to the needy”. Hearing this Samridhi went to the car and brought the eatables which her mother had cooked for picnic and distributed it to the beggars there. Her mother, father was very happy seeing this. They gave her a treat in a restaurant nearby and took her to a park in the evening. Samridhi also promised her parents that she would never throw food in garbage and would always help the needy.
Moral: Food is a very big gift of god and so we should not waste it.
