The Weaver’s Dream
In the quaint village of Sanganer, known for its skilled artisans, lived a humble weaver named Rajan.
He was renowned for creating the most beautiful and intricate saris, each woven with threads of vibrant colors and delicate patterns.
Despite his talent, Rajan was poor and struggled to make ends meet for his family.
One night, as Rajan was working late in his small, dimly lit workshop, he fell into a deep sleep at his loom.
In his dream, a goddess appeared, her presence radiating a divine light. She spoke to him in a gentle, melodic voice.
“Rajan, you have been chosen for a special task. In the mountains to the north lies a magical flower known as the Kalpavriksha Blossom.
It has the power to fulfill the deepest desires of anyone who possesses it. Use it wisely,” she said before vanishing into a swirl of golden light.
Rajan woke with a start, his heart pounding with excitement and hope.
Determined to find the magical flower, he set out early the next morning, leaving behind his wife, Meera, and their two children.
He journeyed through dense forests, crossed rivers, and climbed rugged hills until he finally reached the foot of the majestic mountains.
The climb was arduous, but Rajan’s resolve was unwavering. After days of tireless effort, he reached a hidden valley filled with exotic flowers and lush greenery.
In the center of the valley, he found the Kalpavriksha Blossom, its petals shimmering like the morning sun.
As Rajan reached for the flower, a voice echoed through the valley. “Remember, Rajan, the flower grants wishes, but only those born of selflessness and love.”
With the flower in hand, Rajan returned to his village. His journey had taken several weeks, and he was overjoyed to be reunited with his family.
That night, he placed the flower on his loom and whispered his wish: “I wish for the prosperity and happiness of my village and my family.”
The next morning, Rajan awoke to a bustling scene outside his home.
The villagers were gathering, excitedly chattering about a miracle. Over the night, the village had transformed.
New wells had sprung up, fields were lush with crops, and every home had been repaired and beautified.
Rajan’s humble workshop had turned into a grand studio, filled with the finest materials and tools.
His saris now sold for a premium, and people from distant lands came to admire his craftsmanship.
Despite his newfound wealth, Rajan remained the same humble and generous man.
He used his prosperity to build schools, hospitals, and community centers, ensuring that everyone in the village benefited.
Rajan’s wish had indeed come true, bringing not only material wealth but also joy, unity, and progress to Sanganer.
The Kalpavriksha Blossom remained in Rajan’s workshop, a symbol of the power of selfless wishes.
Rajan’s story spread far and wide, inspiring others to seek happiness not just for themselves but for their communities as well.
Years passed, and Sanganer flourished into a prosperous town, but Rajan’s legacy of kindness and generosity lived on, reminding everyone that true fulfillment comes from uplifting those around us.

The Wise Parrot
In the peaceful village of Sundarpur, there was a large banyan tree in the center of the village square.
This tree was home to many birds, but the most famous of them all was a wise old parrot named Mitthu.
Mitthu had bright green feathers and could talk like humans. The villagers loved to hear Mitthu’s stories and advice.
One day, a young boy named Raju came to the banyan tree. Raju was sad because his family was very poor.
He told Mitthu, “My parents work very hard, but we still don’t have enough money. What can I do to help them?”
Mitthu thought for a moment and then said, “Raju, there is a magic well in the forest. It grants one wish to anyone who finds it.
But remember, your wish must come from a kind heart.”
Excited, Raju set off to find the magic well. He walked through the forest, listening to the sounds of birds and rustling leaves.
After a long search, he found the well, hidden behind some bushes. The water in the well sparkled under the sunlight.
Raju closed his eyes and made his wish. “I wish for my family to have enough food and money, so my parents don’t have to worry anymore.”
As soon as he made the wish, the water in the well glowed brightly.
Raju felt a warm feeling in his heart and knew his wish had been heard. He thanked the well and hurried back home.
When Raju reached his village, he was amazed.
His small house had turned into a cozy home with a beautiful garden full of vegetables and fruit trees.
His parents were smiling and happy, no longer worried about money.
The villagers heard about Raju’s adventure and came to see the magic well. They also made kind-hearted wishes for their families and neighbors.
Soon, Sundarpur became a prosperous village where everyone was happy and helped each other.
Mitthu, the wise parrot, continued to live in the banyan tree, sharing stories and advice with the villagers.
Raju never forgot the lesson Mitthu had taught him: true happiness comes from kindness and thinking of others.
And so, the village of Sundarpur flourished, filled with joy, friendship, and the wisdom of a little boy and a wise old parrot.
