Walk Before You Run Under a Blue Sky: A Moral Story for Kids
The classroom felt different that day. Normally filled with
chatter and laughter, it now stood still, heavy with the weight of grief. One
of the students had tragically lost both parents in a sudden accident, and
their absence was deeply felt by everyone. The silence was oppressive, and even
their teacher, Shine, found it hard to continue the lesson. She had lost her
brightest student too—the one who always brought joy into the classroom.
But Shine knew that this silence couldn’t last forever. She
decided to speak up, hoping to bring back a sense of hope and purpose.
"Today," she began, "we’re going to talk about your future. What
are your dreams? What do you want to become?"
The room was still, but slowly, the students began to open
up. They shared their dreams: Jai wanted to be a software engineer, Pari hoped
to become a scientist, and Raj admired Shine and dreamed of teaching. Seema,
with a spark in her eyes, shared her passion for fashion design. They were
starting to engage with the future again.
The Story of Savarni:
A Lesson in Personal Growth
Once upon a time in the peaceful village of Jagarpuri, there
lived a young girl named Savarni. She was the light of her father Jeethu's
life, but his love came with limitations. Jeethu, overly protective, never
allowed her to walk or go to school. He carried her everywhere, fearing that
the world would harm her.
One day, Savarni’s life took an unexpected turn. While at
their native village, she overheard children racing outside and wanted to join.
But Savarni had never walked before. She had been confined to the safety of her
home. Despite her initial hesitation, her new friends, led by a boy named
Karnu, encouraged her to try.
With determination, Savarni learned to walk, and in time,
she learned to run. But her protective father, unaware of her progress, was
furious when he saw her running in a race. His love for her had kept her locked
away, preventing her from growing into her full potential.
Through the intervention of Suki, a school trainer, Jeethu
realized that his overprotectiveness had harmed his daughter. Savarni’s true
potential had been held back by her father’s fears. The trainer spoke wisely,
"Sir, by keeping her caged, you’re not protecting her. You’re preventing
her from becoming who she’s meant to be."
