SSSSBβ€―Storyβ€―043a: “Lilaβ€―Wantsβ€―toβ€―Goβ€―Abroadβ€―Later” 

SSSSBβ€―Storyβ€―043a: “Lilaβ€―Wantsβ€―toβ€―Goβ€―Abroadβ€―Later” 

Lilaβ€―andβ€―Dharmiβ€―wereβ€―sittingβ€―onβ€―aβ€―littleβ€―wall,β€―watchingβ€―theβ€―birdsβ€―flyingβ€―inβ€―frontβ€―ofβ€―theβ€―mountains. 

“Iβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―workβ€―inβ€―anotherβ€―countryβ€―whenβ€―Iβ€―growβ€―up,”β€―saidβ€―Lila. 

Dharmiβ€―said, “Iβ€―hearβ€―thatβ€―aβ€―lot.β€―Butβ€―it’sβ€―notβ€―alwaysβ€―easyβ€―overβ€―there,β€―youβ€―know.” 

Lilaβ€―lookedβ€―surprised. “Whyβ€―not?” 

Dharmiβ€―said: “Myβ€―cousinβ€―isβ€―inβ€―Japan,β€―andβ€―myβ€―brotherβ€―isβ€―inβ€―Australia.β€―Theyβ€―earnβ€―moreβ€―moneyβ€―thanβ€―inβ€―Nepal!Butβ€―theyβ€―hadβ€―toβ€―borrowβ€―aβ€―lotβ€―ofβ€―money.β€―Myβ€―cousinβ€―missesβ€―Nepalβ€―andβ€―sometimesβ€―criesβ€―onβ€―theβ€―phone.β€―Myβ€―brotherβ€―saysβ€―Australiaβ€―isβ€―moreβ€―fun.β€―Heβ€―onlyβ€―speaksβ€―Englishβ€―nowβ€―andβ€―doesn’tβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―comeβ€―back.” 

“Oh,”β€―saidβ€―Lilaβ€―softly. “That’sβ€―sad.” 

Dharmiβ€―smiled. “That’sβ€―whyβ€―Iβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―stayβ€―here.β€―Iβ€―loveβ€―Nepal.β€―Iβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―helpβ€―myβ€―familyβ€―andβ€―makeβ€―ourβ€―countryβ€―better.β€―Thatβ€―isβ€―myβ€―dharma.” 

Lilaβ€―thoughtβ€―forβ€―aβ€―moment. “Canβ€―Iβ€―helpβ€―too?” 

Ofβ€―course!”β€―saidβ€―Dharmi. “Weβ€―canβ€―doβ€―somethingβ€―beautifulβ€―forβ€―Nepalβ€―together!” 

Theβ€―twoβ€―girlsβ€―jumpedβ€―downβ€―fromβ€―theβ€―wallβ€―andβ€―ranβ€―backβ€―toβ€―theβ€―village,β€―laughing. 

Today’sβ€―question: “Whatβ€―canβ€―youβ€―doβ€―inβ€―Nepalβ€―toβ€―helpβ€―makeβ€―ourβ€―countryβ€―evenβ€―moreβ€―beautiful?”

SSSSBβ€―Storyβ€―043b: “Really?β€―Yes,β€―really!”  

SSSSBβ€―Storyβ€―043b: “Really?β€―Yes,β€―really!”  

Dharmikβ€―andβ€―Dipakβ€―wereβ€―havingβ€―aβ€―conversation,β€―sittingβ€―onβ€―aβ€―stoneβ€―wallβ€―overlookingβ€―theβ€―mountains.β€―Theβ€―sunβ€―wasβ€―slowlyβ€―settingβ€―behindβ€―theβ€―hills. 

“I’mβ€―thinkingβ€―aboutβ€―goingβ€―abroadβ€―toβ€―workβ€―inβ€―theβ€―future,”β€―saidβ€―Dipak. 

“Oh,β€―really?”β€―saidβ€―Dharmik. “Myβ€―brotherβ€―hasβ€―beenβ€―workingβ€―inβ€―Qatarβ€―forβ€―years,β€―myβ€―sisterβ€―isβ€―inβ€―Southβ€―Korea,β€―andβ€―myβ€―cousinβ€―evenβ€―worksβ€―inβ€―Japan.” 
 
“Really?β€―That’sβ€―impressive,”β€―saidβ€―Dipak,β€―hisβ€―eyesβ€―wide. “Atβ€―leastβ€―youβ€―haveβ€―familyβ€―abroad.β€―Inβ€―myβ€―family,β€―noβ€―oneβ€―hasβ€―everβ€―goneβ€―furtherβ€―thanβ€―Kathmanduβ€―Airport.” 

Dipakβ€―continued, “Iβ€―alsoβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―goβ€―abroad —β€―notβ€―forβ€―myself,β€―butβ€―forβ€―myβ€―family.β€―Ifβ€―Iβ€―workβ€―abroad,β€―Iβ€―canβ€―earnβ€―wellβ€―andβ€―sendβ€―moneyβ€―home.β€― 
Manyβ€―youngβ€―peopleβ€―doβ€―that.β€―Iβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―supportβ€―myβ€―parentsβ€―too.” 

Thereβ€―wasβ€―aβ€―momentβ€―ofβ€―silence.β€―Dharmikβ€―lookedβ€―atβ€―hisβ€―friendβ€―andβ€―thenβ€―saidβ€―calmly: “That’sβ€―braveβ€―ofβ€―you,β€―Dipak.β€―Butβ€―thingsβ€―aren’tβ€―alwaysβ€―asβ€―perfectβ€―asβ€―theyβ€―seem.β€― 
Myβ€―familyβ€―alsoβ€―expectsβ€―meβ€―toβ€―goβ€―abroad…β€―butβ€―Iβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―stayβ€―inβ€―Nepal.” 

Dipakβ€―lookedβ€―surprised.“What?β€―You?β€―Youβ€―haveβ€―suchβ€―aβ€―bigβ€―opportunityβ€―toβ€―buildβ€―yourβ€―futureβ€―andβ€―

Dharmikβ€―shookβ€―hisβ€―head. “No,β€―myβ€―goodβ€―friend.β€―Iβ€―meanβ€―it.β€―Letβ€―meβ€―giveβ€―youβ€―fourβ€―examplesβ€―fromβ€―whatβ€―I’veβ€―seen”:

Dipak:β€―“Really?” Dharmik:β€―Yes,β€―really”.β€―Now,β€―example2:β€― “Myβ€―sisterβ€―hasβ€―changed.β€―She’sβ€―becomeβ€―veryβ€―arrogant.β€―

Sheβ€―feelsβ€―superiorβ€―toβ€―otherβ€―Nepalisβ€―justβ€―becauseβ€―sheβ€―livesβ€―abroad.”

Dipakβ€―fellβ€―silentβ€―forβ€―aβ€―while.β€―Heβ€―lookedβ€―atβ€―theβ€―birdsβ€―andβ€―theβ€―mountains. 

“So,β€―whatβ€―areβ€―youβ€―goingβ€―toβ€―do?”β€―heβ€―askedβ€―softly. 

“I’mβ€―stayingβ€―here,”β€―saidβ€―Dharmikβ€―firmly. “Iβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―followβ€―myβ€―dharmaβ€―withβ€―loveβ€―–β€―becauseβ€―thatβ€―isβ€―theβ€―rightβ€―thingβ€―forβ€―myβ€―family,β€―myβ€―village,β€―myβ€―country…β€―andβ€―especiallyβ€―toβ€―showβ€―gratitudeβ€―toβ€―theβ€―manyβ€―saints,β€―andβ€―toβ€―myβ€―Sitaβ€―Mata,β€―myβ€―Lordβ€―Buddha,β€―andβ€―myβ€―Swami.β€―Iβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―buildβ€―somethingβ€―here.β€―Iβ€―don’tβ€―wantβ€―toβ€―runβ€―away.β€―Itβ€―mightβ€―beβ€―harder,β€―butβ€―inβ€―theβ€―longβ€―run,β€―itβ€―willβ€―beβ€―better.”

SSSSB Story 044a – "Pardesie Daju’s 3 Weeks in Nepal"

SSSSB Story 044a – "Pardesie Daju’s 3 Weeks in Nepal" (for Ages 5–9) 

Pardesie Daju was a kind man. 
He came to Nepal, but he didn’t speak Nepali. He smiled and said hello to everyone. 

In the second week, something magical happened! 
Everything he touched — toys, food, clothes — became double! 
People came with phones, money, and toys. He touched them — and they all became double! 

Question 1:β€―What would you like Pardesie Daju to touch to make double? 

But no one gave him food. He became tired and weak. 

In the third week, the magic changed. Now, everything he touched became small or half!People got angry. They took him to a trash place and said, “Stay away!” 

A kind girl namedβ€―Zoyaβ€―saw this. She brought him food. 
Pardesie Daju was very happy. He said, “Thank you, Zoya!” And he ate the tasty food. 

Zoya called the hospital, because Pardesie Daju was very sick. 
Even the ambulance became small — but it still worked! 

At the hospital, everything got smaller — beds, chairs, medicine! 
Zoya told the doctors: “Don’t worry. He wants to help.” 
He touched a list of sick people — and they felt better! 

Question 2:β€―What would you like Pardesie Daju to touch to make smaller or go away? 

After that week, he went home. 
Zoya sang: πŸŽ΅β€―“Pardesie, Pardesie, don’t go… stay with us.”β€―πŸŽ΅

SSSSB Story 044bN – "Pardesie Daju Visited Nepal for 3 Weeks" (For age 10 and up) 

SSSSB Story 044bN – "Pardesie Daju Visited Nepal for 3 Weeks" (For age 10 and up) 
 
Pardesie Daju was a young man. He spoke a strange language that no one could understand. He came to Panauti, Nepal, for three weeks. 
The First Week: The first week passed quietly. As always, the friendly Nepali people greeted him warmly. 

The Second Week: In the second week, something remarkable happened. Since the age of 14, Pardesie Daju had a special gift: everything he touched – or that touched his arms – would double! 

Each person was allowed to give him one item per day to be doubled. Soon, news of his gift spread across Nepal. People came not only from nearby towns, but also from Dang, Biratnagar, and even from abroad. 
 
They brought valuable items like money, jewelry, mobile phones, laptops, bicycles, scooters, and more.Children came with toys, notebooks, colored pencils, school bags, candy, and all sorts of things. 
As soon as Pardesie Daju touched something, it doubled! 

Question 1 for today: What would you like Pardesie Daju to touch so that it gets doubled? 

This continued throughout the second week. But no one seemed to think about Pardesie Daju himself. 
He hadn’t been able to rest, eat, or drink for the entire second week. He was tired, weak, and became ill… 
People only thought about their own things – not how he was doing. 
Except for one SSSSB student – Zoya – who quietly watched everything from a distance. 

The Third Week: In the third week, Pardesie Daju tried to explain with gestures (since no one understood his language) that his power had changed. 
But no one listened. They kept pushing their things against his arms... And then it happened: 
Everything he touched – or that touched him – was now cut in half or became less! 

People got angry and started shouting. Their valuable items suddenly shrank or were reduced by half! 
Some, who had been thankful just days before, now became furious. 
On the first day of the third week, they took him to the largest garbage dump in Panauti. 
They built a fence around him and put up a sign: 
“DEMONIC TOURIST  – VERY DANGEROUS! DO NOT APPROACH!” 

Zoya, the girl who lived right across from the dump, had seen everything from her window. 
She saw that Pardesie Daju was sick, weak, and completely alone. 
Her father warned her strictly: "If you go to school tomorrow, take the other road. Don’t go near that demonic tourist." 

At dinner, Zoya sat at the table, but had no appetite. She said,  
“Mama, I’ll eat in my room,” and took her plate with her. 
From her window, she gestured to Pardesie Daju: "Hold on, I’m coming." 
She packed her food into a box and after five minutes, she went back to her mother and said: 
"Mother, may I have some more food?" 
She packed that food too and hid both boxes in her wardrobe. 
 
Then she said: "I have an important exam tomorrow. I’ll go to bed early so I can revise in the morning. Would you please all go to bed early too?" 

Her family agreed and went to sleep. When everyone started snoring, Zoya knew: it was time. 
She took the food, a bottle of water, and a warm blanket, tiptoed downstairs, quietly opened the front door, and walked silently to Pardesie Daju. 

She gave him the food and the blanket. He immediately wrapped himself in the blanket – he was freezing and exhausted. He became emotional. 
With gestures, he said: "You are so kind and caring. You must be a true SSSSB student. 
But this is your food – you must be hungry too. How can I take it from you?" 
Only after Zoya ate a little herself, did he begin to eat. After that, Zoya called the hospital. An ambulance arrived quickly. When she heard the siren, she ran back home and continued watching from her window. 

She saw the medical team take him away. But since his power still worked, the ambulance… became half! Luckily, the driver was experienced and managed to get him safely to the hospital – even in a half ambulance. The siren had woken up the entire neighborhood. Once her family was asleep again, Zoya quietly slipped out to the hospital to check if he was being properly cared for. 

At the hospital, panic broke out. Everything Pardesie Daju touched became half – beds, chairs, medicine... 
Doctors and nurses ran around in confusion. Until Zoya shouted: 
"Sairam, Sairam, everyone please calm down! Don’t panic! We should be grateful for Pardesie Daju!" 
Everyone looked at her with hope. Zoya calmly explained everything that had happened. 
People let out a deep sigh of relief. 
She said: "The largest garbage dump in our city has been halved. Isn’t that special? 
Let’s think: what else could we make smaller?" 
A doctor said: "I have so many patients, it’s overwhelming. If their illnesses could be halved, that would be such a help." 
Zoya replied: "Sairam, Doctor Saheb. Please make a list of your patients’ names and ask Pardesie Daju to touch it. Believe me – it will work." 

The doctor tried it – and it worked! Everyone became a fan of Pardesie Daju. Hospital staff even brought their family and friends, hoping to reduce their problems and worries too. 
All week long, he helped people in this way. 
Question 2 for today: What would you like Pardesie Daju to touch, so that it becomes smaller or is halved? 

The Fourth Week: When the third week ended, so did his vacation. It was time for him to go home. 
The hospital brought him to Tribhuvan International Airport for his flight. 
And guess who was waiting there to thank him and sing him a song? Zoya, the dedicated SSSSB student. 
Zoya was sad, but she sang: 🎡 “Pardesie, Pardesie, don’t go away... don’t leave me/us alone.” 🎡 

Heart-Work for this week: What do you think of this story? 
Create a drawing, a song, a poem, or something beautiful for Pardesie Daju!

Ssssb story 045a  [ for 5 - 9 years]

SSSSB Story 045A – “Mango-Girl’s Honest Day” (For ages 5–9)

Mango-Girl was a kind and happy girl. One sunny day, she walked home from school.
She saw a mango seller in the street with a big cart full of mangoes πŸ₯­πŸ₯­.

Suddenly — plop! A mango fell off the cart.
Mango-Girl ran, picked it up, and said kindly: “Sir, a mango fell. Here it is!”

The mango man smiled. He said: “You are very honest. You can keep that mango πŸ₯­! And here’s one more, because you are so kind!”
Mango-Girl said: “Thank you!” She felt happy inside.

She ate one mango with her family. And she gave the other mango to her neighbor.
Later, she picked up the mango seeds and said: “I want to take care of these too!”
So she planted them in two small pots πŸͺ΄πŸͺ΄. Every day, she gave them water and talked to them. Soon, small mango plants started to grow! 🌱 Everyone in her town started calling her “Mango-Girl.”

The two trees started talking to each other in mango language.
One tree said: “Mango-Girl is so kind to us.”
The other tree replied: “Yes, I really like her manners. Let’s give her lots of mangoes!”
The two trees also started to sing a song in mango language.

When the mango trees produced many mangoes, she shared them with all the neighbors πŸ₯­πŸ’›.

πŸ’¬ Question: What would you do with two mangoes if someone gave them to you?

SSSSB Story 045b With Honesty and Helpfulness, Mango-Girl Becomes a Beloved Role Model

SSSSB Story 045b With Honesty and Helpfulness, Mango-Girl Becomes a Beloved Role Model

There was a girl who once walked past a SSSSB gathering, stopped, and listened.
The SSSSB guru saw her and said kindly, “Come and sit with us, and join in.”
The girl became deeply emotional and inspired by the topic:
“With honesty and helpfulness, you become a role model.”
At the end of the gathering, the guru said: “Practice the SSSSB values at every opportunity.”

After the meeting, the girl walked home. In the distance ahead of her, a mango seller was pushing a cart full of mangoes πŸ₯­. One mango πŸ₯­ fell off the cart... The girl picked it up, ran to the seller, and said:
“Sir, a mango fell off your cart,” and handed it to him.

The seller said: “That one’s for you, and here, take another πŸ₯­ as well — because you are so honest and helpful.”
The girl was very grateful and thought: “I just learned about being honest and helpful at the SSSSB class, and I already see the result — I got two free mangoes πŸ₯­πŸ₯­!”

She ate the first mango with her family and threw the seed outside.
First question of the day: πŸ‘‰ What would you do with the two mangoes? πŸ₯­πŸ₯­

Then she suddenly remembered the guru’s words: “Practice the SSSSB values at every opportunity.”
She felt guilty for throwing away the mango seed so carelessly.
So she searched for it, found it, and planted it in a pot πŸͺ΄.

She gave the other mango to her neighbors, because she knew their children loved mangoes. The neighbors ate it and threw the seed away.
When she saw this, she also searched for that seed and planted it in a second pot πŸͺ΄.

Because she was always busy caring for the mango seeds, everyone began calling her
"Mango-Girl" πŸ₯­πŸ‘§.

The two mango seeds, each in a pot on the balcony, started talking to each other in mango language πŸƒ: One seed said: “Ouch ouch, I have back pain! Mango-Girl threw me so hard, and I landed on my back.”
The other said: “Ow ow, I have stomach pain! The neighbors also threw me roughly, and I landed on my belly.”

The mango plants πŸͺ΄πŸͺ΄ grew quickly and had to be replanted. Mango-Girl went to the owner of a piece of land next to her house and asked: “Sir, may I plant my two mango plants on your land so they can grow big and bear mangoes?” 🏑πŸ₯­

The landowner thought: “This child is crazy.”
But not wanting to disappoint her, he said: “Yes, you may.”
And jokingly he added: “If mangoes grow, half will be mine!”
“Deal!” said the girl — who thought he was serious.
Every day, before and after school, she visited her mango plants to check on them and care for them.

The mango plants grew tall and joyful 🌱. One tree said:
“When I was just a mango seed, Mango-Girl took such good care of me.
Now I’m a big mango tree, I will give her lots of sweet mangoes
πŸ₯­.”

The other said: “Yes! Let’s both give her many mangoes πŸ₯­. She’s taken such good care of us. Too bad we can’t speak human language, right?” “Yes, such a pity,” replied the other,
“Otherwise we would talk to her and sing songs for our dear Mango-Girl.” 🎡🌳

Mango-Girl was allowed to fill the whole land with mango plants. She sold the mangoes πŸ₯­ and made a lot of money.

She offered half the money to the landowner, as she had promised when she brought the two small plants. But he refused, tears in his eyes.
Mango-girl asked, 'Why are you sad?' He said, 'I was thinking of my daughter. She went abroad to study and promised to come back, but now it's been 18 years, and she has stayed there.'
Mango-girl replied, 'Don’t be sad, I’ll take care of you like I do my grandfather.'
The landowner thought, 'I must have earned good karma in a past life.'
He said, 'That day you brought the plants, I was only joking about taking half. Now there are 108 big mango trees.' Finally, he said, 'You are honest and caring — not just for trees, but for all living beings. This land may always be used by you and the SSSSB organization.'"

It became too much work for Mango-Girl to handle alone. She hired staff, earned even more, and paid all her employees fair wages so they could support their families too.

Mango-Girl wanted to place a big sign with a name.
She was thinking of the perfect name for this land filled with 108 mango trees 🌳πŸ₯­.

Question 2: How was the story?

πŸ’¬ What name would you give to the mango field with the 108 mango trees?

Ssssb story 046a The Two Friends and the Three Wishes

SSSSB Story 046a – The Two Friends and the Three Wishes (For children aged 5–9)

Once upon a time, there were two boys: Ravi and Milan. They were best friends.
Ravi always used everything he got right away: cookies, money, toys — everything at once!
Milan thought carefully before using anything. He saved things for later or shared them with his little brother or friends.

One day, they went together to the SSSSB class. There, Guru Aama arrived with a big smile.
She told a story about wishes and said at the end: “Today, each of you will receive three magical wishes. But be careful: use them wisely — not to hurt others, but to do something good. To make a wish come true, say: ‘Om… (your wish)… Shanti, Shanti, Shanti’.”
And finally, Guru Aama said: “Think carefully, don’t rush!”
Ravi was super excited. So was Milan.
On the way home, Ravi said: “I’m going to start wishing right now!”
But Milan said: “Wait a bit... Guru Aama said: think carefully, don’t rush!”
When Ravi got home, he saw he still had homework.
He thought: “I’d rather play… I’ll just make a wish!”
He said: “Om… May my homework be finished… Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!”
And poof! His homework was neatly ready on the table. Then he got hungry.
He said: “Om… please give me momo, chowmein, and chocolate! 🍫” “Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!” Suddenly, everything appeared on his plate.
He happily ate it all. After that, he called Milan: “The wishes really work! I’ve already used two!”
Milan said: “Oh no! But do you remember what Guru Aama said? Think carefully, don’t rush!”

Question of the Day: πŸ‘‰ If you had three magical wishes… what would you wish for?

sssb story 046b Three wishes

SSSSB Story 046b: Three Wishes (for ages 10 and above)

There were two boys who were good friends, even though they often thought differently about many things. Boy 1 used up everything he got immediately, without self-control or thinking it through.
Boy 2 used only what he really needed and saved as much as possible for others and for emergencies.

One day, they went together to Guru Practice. They asked many questions, and Guru Practice answered them all. But for the last question, Guruji responded a little mysteriously:

The last question was: "Guruji, what is a wise way to deal with possessions and talents?"

Guru Practice raised one hand to the sky and placed the other on the boys’ heads and said:
"3 x Om." In silence, he said a mantra or prayer, and then said: "3 x Shanti."

He said: "From now on, you may make three wishes, whenever you like. Of course, they must never be used to harm others.If you say 'Om' and speak your wish, then say '3 x Shanti', The three wishes will remain valid even in a future life, if you don't use them in this one."

The boys thanked Guru Practice and gave him the three mangoes they had brought along but had forgotten to give upon arrival.
Guruji smiled and said:
"Be patient, place limits on your wishes, and think carefully."

First question of the day: πŸ‘‰ What three wishes would you make if you received this special blessing?

On the way home, Boy 1 wanted to make a wish right away, but Boy 2 said: "Don't do that, friend. We are very blessed to have three wishes — let's also remember the last words of Guruji."

But Boy 1 thought to himself: "As soon as I get home, I’m going to start making wishes."

 
When he got home, he still had to do his homework. He always saved it up and did it in a rush at the last minute, which led to mistakes. When he opened his planner, he saw a lot of homework — especially from last week, and even an important report from the week before. He felt very upset.

Reluctantly, he began working on it, but then suddenly remembered the three wishes.
He said:
"Om, please complete all my homework — including the important assignment from last week that I had saved up."Then: "3 x Shanti."

Impatiently, he opened all his notebooks — and everything was perfectly done, in his own handwriting.
Only the report was missing. He wanted to use his second wish for the report, but checked his school bag one more time — and yes! The report was neatly inside. Boy 1 had never been so happy.

He lay down on his bed and thought, joyfully: "Tomorrow, I’ll go to school early. For the first time, I’ll get compliments from the teachers for my homework!"

Then he got hungry. He said to himself: "Today I feel like having momo, chowmein, and chocolate."
So he used his second wish.
He said:
"Om, I’m very hungry — may I please have momo, chowmein, and chocolate?" "3 x Shanti."

He quickly opened his eyes — and everything he wished for was sitting on his desk. After eating, he called his friend Boy 2 and said: "The blessing from Guru Practice really works! I’ve already used two wishes — the first one did all my homework, and the second one gave me momo, chowmein, and chocolate!" "And there were so many kinds of chocolate — I ate everything and now I have a stomachache… but no problem! If it doesn’t go away, I’ll use the third wish!"

Boy 2 said: "....."
Second question of the day: πŸ‘‰ What would you say if you were Boy 2?

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ SSSSB Story 047a – Wealth, Health and Character For Children aged 5–9

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ SSSSB Story 047a – Wealth, Health and Character For Children aged 5–9

There were three girls. Their names were a bit special:
Wealth, Health, and Character.

On a sunny day, they were sitting together under a tree, chatting.

πŸ’¬ Wealth said:
"My mommy and daddy called me Wealth because they think money is the most important thing."
The other two girls shook their heads: "No, that’s not true."

πŸ’¬ Then Health said:
"My parents think health is the most important. That’s why my name is Health."
The other girls shook their heads again: "No, we think something else."

πŸ’¬ Then Character said:
"My parents say: if you have a good heart and you're honest, everything will be okay. That’s why my name is Character."
But the others still said: "Hmm, we’re not sure..."

They started to get a little upset 😠... but luckily they had a good idea:
πŸ‘‰ "Let’s ask our SSSSB Guru!"

πŸ‘©πŸ½‍🏫 Their SSSSB Guru was a kind and wise teacher.
She told beautiful stories and gave advice she had learned through practice and love.

When the girls asked her what is the most important—Wealth, Health, or Character
the Guru said:

1️⃣ "If you have money, but you are mean or dishonest, you will use the money badly."
πŸ‘‰ The girls nodded: βœ…

2️⃣ "If you are healthy, but do bad things, your health won’t help much."
πŸ‘‰ They nodded again: βœ…

3️⃣ "But if you have a good character—if you are kind, honest, and brave—then you will take care of your health and use your money wisely."
πŸ‘‰ The girls nodded happily: βœ…

Question of the Day: What do you think is the most important—and why?

SSSSB Story 047b: Wealth, Health and Character [For ages 10 and older]

SSSSB Story 047b: Wealth, Health and Character [For ages 10 and older]

Once upon a time, there were three good friends. Their parents had each given them a special name—names that represented what they considered most important in life:
Wealth, Health, and Character.

One day, the girls began talking about their names.

πŸ’¬ Wealth started: "Do you know why my parents named me Wealth? Because they believe wealth is the most important thing. By naming me Wealth, they remind themselves of that every day and don’t forget to keep collecting riches." But the other two friends disagreed and shook their heads.

πŸ’¬ Then Health said: "My parents named me Health because health is more important than wealth. Without health, wealth means nothing." Again, the other two shook their heads no.

πŸ’¬ Then Character spoke: "My parents chose my name because they believe character is the most important—more important than wealth or health." Once again, the other two friends disagreed.

The discussion got more intense. Wealth and Health even started fighting and grabbed each other’s hair. Luckily, Character stayed calm, helped to settle the argument, and convinced both Wealth and Health to go together to Guru Practice for a solution — a wise and respected teacher, known for his life wisdom developed through living values.

Guru Practice was known for never quoting books or repeating what others had said. He always observed his own words, thoughts, and actions carefully and gave advice only based on personal experience.

Question1: What do you think is the most important—and why? Wealth, Health, or Character?



When they arrived at Guru Practice, the three friends greeted him respectfully and asked together:
"Guruji, could you please tell us what is truly the most important in life? Is it Wealth, Health, or Character?"

Guru Practice was happy with the question and answered calmly:

1️⃣ "If we have wealth, but a weak or impure character, we will misuse and waste that wealth."
The three girls nodded: "That’s true."

2️⃣ "If we have good health, but poor character, we will also waste or misuse our health for the wrong things." Again, they nodded in agreement

3️⃣ "But if we have good character, then both our wealth and health will be used wisely and even grow. We will become beloved people who inspire others, and we’ll also grow spiritually closer to the Divine."
The three friends nodded again—now with even more conviction.

Question2: Is your answer to the first question still the same—or has it changed?

Histoire SSSSB 047w : Wealth, Health et Character [Pour la classe des femmes SSSSB]
Histoire SSSSB 047w : Richesse, Santé et Caractère [Pour la classe des femmes SSSSB]

Histoire SSSSB 047w : Wealth, Health et Character [Pour la classe des femmes SSSSB]
Histoire SSSSB 047w : Richesse, Santé et Caractère [Pour la classe des femmes SSSSB]

Il était une fois trois femmes. Leurs parents leur avaient donné à la naissance des prénoms très particuliers — des noms représentant ce qu’ils considéraient comme le plus important dans la vie :
Wealth (richesse), Health (santé) et Character (caractère).

Un jour, les femmes ont commencé à discuter de la signification de leurs prénoms.

πŸ’¬ Wealth commença : "Savez-vous pourquoi mes parents m'ont appelée Wealth ? Parce qu'ils pensaient que la richesse est la chose la plus importante. En me donnant ce prénom, ils se rappellent chaque jour qu'ils doivent continuer à accumuler des richesses."
Mais les deux autres femmes n’étaient pas d’accord et secouèrent la tête.

πŸ’¬ Puis Health dit : "Mes parents m’ont appelée Health, car la santé est plus importante que la richesse. Sans la santé, la richesse ne sert à rien."
Encore une fois, les deux autres secouèrent la tête en désaccord.

πŸ’¬ Ensuite, Character prit la parole : "Mes parents ont choisi mon prénom parce qu’ils croyaient que le caractère est ce qu’il y a de plus important — même plus que la richesse et la santé." De nouveau, les deux autres femmes n’étaient pas d’accord.

La discussion devint de plus en plus intense. Richesse et Santé commencèrent même à se disputer et à se tirer les cheveux. Heureusement, Caractère resta calme, apaisa le conflit et réussit à convaincre Richesse et Santé d’aller ensemble voir Guru Practice pour trouver une solution — un enseignant sage et respecté, connu pour sa sagesse de vie développée par la pratique des valeurs.

Guru Practice était reconnu pour ne jamais citer de livres ni répéter ce qu’il avait entendu d’autres. Il observait toujours ses propres pensées, paroles et actions, et ne donnait des conseils que basés sur son expérience personnelle.

Question 1: D’après vous, qu’est-ce qui est le plus important — et pourquoi ?
Wealth, Health ou Character ?

En arrivant chez Guru Practice, les trois femmes le saluèrent respectueusement et demandèrent ensemble : "Guruji, pouvez-vous nous dire ce qui est vraiment le plus important dans la vie ? Est-ce la richesse, la santé ou le caractère ?"

Guru Practice sourit et répondit calmement :
1️⃣ "Si nous avons de la richesse mais un caractère faible ou impur, nous allons mal utiliser cette richesse et la gaspiller." Les femmes acquiescèrent: "C’est vrai."

2️⃣ "Si nous avons une bonne santé, mais un mauvais caractère, nous allons également gaspiller notre santé ou l’utiliser de manière nuisible." Elles hochèrent à nouveau la tête

3️⃣ "Mais si nous avons un bon caractère, alors notre richesse et notre santé seront bien utilisées et même renforcées. Nous deviendrons des femmes exemplaires qui inspirent les autres, et nous nous rapprocherons spirituellement du Divin."
Les trois femmes acquiescèrent encore une fois — avec une profonde conviction

Question 2: Votre réponse à la première question est-elle restée la même, ou a-t-elle changé ?
