They always helped one another, and their home overflowed with love.Every night at bedtime, Grandma read Ravin a lovely storybook and reminded him, “Always keep loving everyone.”One night, Ravin asked thoughtfully, “You tell me to love everyone, Grandma. But if I keep giving love, won’t my love finish one day?”Grandma smiled gently and said, “No, my dear. Love never finishes, no matter how much you give.”The next day was Sunday. Ravin went to the playground early in the morning and began playing a game of cricket with his friends. It was great fun, but the sun was shining brightly, and soon Ravin felt very thirsty. He gulped down all the water from his bottle. After some time, his throat felt dry again.He picked up his bottle and exclaimed, “Oh no! I’ve run out of water!”One of his friends heard him and quickly shared his own water. Ravin felt loved. He thanked his friend.Children, when do you feel loved?That's great.Now listen aheadWhen Ravin returned home, he had to work on a project due on Monday—Best Out of Waste. Before starting, he rushed to the bathroom for a refreshing shower. As he pressed the shower gel bottle, he cried out, “Oh no! The shower gel has finished!”“Mom! Dad!” he called.His father came and handed him a new bottle of shower gel. Ravin felt loved again—clean, fresh, and happy. He thanked his fatherSoon, he spread out paper rolls, soap boxes, bottle caps, and other waste materials to make a sculpture of the Himalayan ranges. But no matter how hard he tried, the mountains wouldn’t stand. Ravin felt disappointed and was running out of ideas.Seeing his worried face, his mother said gently, “Why don’t you support the mountains with something?”Ravin’s eyes lit up. “Thanks for this great idea mom!”He ran to the garden, collected some wooden sticks, and soon his mountains stood tall. He planned to cover the mountains with brown paper and add tiny trees. Excited, as he squeezed the glue bottle, he exclaimed, “Oh no! I’ve run out of glue!”His older sister, who was working on her own assignment, rushed over and shared her glue with him. Once again, Ravin felt loved. He thanked his sister.The sculpture was finally ready, and Ravin was delighted.After Grandma finished reading the bedtime story, she asked, “How was your day, Ravin?”Ravin smiled and said, “Oh Grandma, I felt so loved today. I ran out of water, shower gel, ideas, and glue—but I never ran out of love.”Grandma hugged him, knowing her lesson had come true.
