Story 041a: Tara Becomes Kind Again

Story 041aN: Tara Becomes Kind Again
Tara lived in Nepal with her mother, father, and her brother, Dinesh.
Tara used to be very kind. She helped Mama in the kitchen. She played nicely with Dinesh.
She always said, “Please” and “Thank you.”
But one day, Tara got upset. “Rita, my classmate, got a big chocolate from her parents! Why didn’t I
get one from you, Mother and Father?” she shouted.
She stopped helping. She shouted at Dinesh. She was not kind anymore.
Mother and Father were sad. “What happened to our kind Tara?” they said.
Dinesh had an idea. “Can I go to the SSSSB class near our home?” he asked.
“Meena Ma’am and Gita Ma’am teach good things there.”
Mother and Father smiled. “Yes, Dinesh. You can go.”
After a few classes, Dinesh said to Tara, “Come with me. The SSSSB class is peaceful and fun.”
Tara thought. She missed being kind. She missed smiling.
She said, “Yes. I want to try again.”
Now Tara is kind again. She helps Mama.
She plays nicely with Dinesh. She is happy—just like before.

Story 041b: The Challenges Parents and Children Face Today 

Story 041bN: The Challenges Parents and Children Face Today (For children aged 10 and above)

Story 041bN: The Challenges Parents and Children Face Today 
Once upon a time, there was a family with a father, a mother, and two children: Tara (15) and Dinesh
(12).
When they were younger, they listened well, helped around the house, and were always polite.
But as they got older, Tara began to change.
“Why can’t I have a phone?” she asked one day. “Santa in my class is 14 and has one—and I’m 15!”
She didn’t speak as kindly as she used to.
Tara began copying the behavior of a friend who often talked back to her parents. She became more
stubborn, showed less respect, and hardly helped her little brother with homework
anymore—something she used to enjoy.
The parents felt sad.
“What should we do?” they wondered. “When we try to talk to her, she doesn’t really listen…”
Then Dinesh said, “Mom, Dad, I know why you're upset—it’s about Didi, right? I have an idea. Can I
tell you?” They looked at him, surprised, and nodded.
Dinesh said: “There’s a girl in my class who goes to the SSSSB class. She’s become very wise and
helps others with their problems. Maybe you can talk to someone from the SSSSB class too.
And… can I also join the SSSSB class? Meena ma'am and Gita ma'am teach nearby, and if it rains or
it’s too cold, I can join online. Can I start next week, please?”
The parents looked at each other and felt hopeful again.
“Of course you can go to the Balkot classes!” they said with joy.
“Why didn’t you tell us this earlier?”
Dinesh replied: “Because I’ve been watching how Didi is changing, and it makes me sad too. I want to
become wiser, so I can help her—just like she always helped me when I was small.”
Today’s Question: If the parents called you for help, what tips and solutions would you give them?

Ssssb Story 042a – The Bird Mission of Milan and Kiran [ for 5-9 years]  
Ssssb Story 042a – The Bird Mission of Milan and Kiran 
 
Milan and Kiran were two cheerful boys from Nepal. They loved playing football together on the school playground. 
But every time there was a match, they made lots of mistakes. They kicked the ball too quickly, didn’t look carefully, and got upset when things went wrong. 

One day, their sports teacher said: “You’re good, but you need more patience and focus.” 

Milan asked: “What is focus?” 
The teacher smiled: “It means paying attention and staying calm.” 

She gave the boys a special task: “Every evening from 5 to 5:30 o'clock, go outside and count how many birds fly over your house. Write it down and come back next week.” 

The boys thought it was strange, but they did it anyway. 
The first day, they shouted: “One! Two! Five! Or was it four?” 
They lost count, laughed a lot, and got distracted. 

The next day, the teacher said: “Try again. Count calmly. Watch carefully. Don’t get distracted.” 

After a few days, Milan and Kiran got much better at counting. They stayed quiet, paid close attention, and made no more mistakes. 
And guess what? In the next football match, they played really well! They stayed calm, focused, and even scored! 

The sports teacher clapped her hands and said: “Bravo! You’ve learned it — with patience and focus, you can become beter and beter!”

Ssssb Story 042b – Patience and Focus: The Secret of Suhani and Saanvi  
(For 10 and older) 

 Ssssb Story 042b – Patience and Focus: The Secret of Suhani and Saanvi  
(For 10 and older) 

Ssssb Story 042b – Patience and Focus: The Secret of Suhani and Saanvi  

Suhani (13) and Saanvi (14) were close friends. Both of them loved sports and dreamed of one day becoming excellent at their favorite game — Suhani in volleyball, and Saanvi in football. 
 
They trained hard every single day and never gave up. During practice, they played incredibly well — but whenever there was a match or a tournament, things would fall apart. 
 
They got nervous, forgot what to do, and made mistakes they never made during practice. No matter how much they wanted to do well, they couldn’t perform when it really counted. 

Disappointed and sad, they went to visit Madam Sporty, an experienced coach who had once played on Nepal’s national team. 

They greeted her cheerfully: “Sairam, Madam Sporty!” 
And they shared everything — about their training, their effort, and the sadness they felt when they failed. 

Madam Sporty listened carefully. Then she smiled and said: 
“Sairam, girls. Don’t worry. You both have talent. But you’re still missing something important. If you do what I ask, you’ll grow — not only as athletes, but as people too.” 

🕊️ Week 1 – The Bird Assignment  
“Every day between 5:00 and 6:00 PM, count how many birds fly over your house. Write it down and come back next week.” 
She added firmly: “Patience and focus.” 

On their way home, Suhani said, “I don’t see how this has anything to do with volleyball or football…” 

Saanvi replied, “Madam Sporty is the most respected coach in the country. If she says something, I trust her. Let’s just do what she asks.” 

For one week, they faithfully counted the birds. But when they returned, Madam Sporty shook her head: “More patience, more focus. This week, count how many birds fly from east to west and how many from west to east. See you next week!” 

The girls realized  “She’s right. We weren’t patient or focused. But how did she know?” 

🦜 Week 2 – Direction and Attention 
The second week went better. They paid close attention to the direction each bird was flying. 

When they came back, Madam Sporty said: “Much better — but still: more patience, more focus.” 

Then came the next task: “This week, between 5:00 and 6:00 PM, only count parrots. For each parrot, write down its color and any special details. Good luck!” 

On the way home, Suhani said: “Parrots? I’ve never even seen a parrot flying in our town! Is she playing a trick on us? I’ll just write down zero parrots.” 

Saanvi smiled: “No, Madam Sporty would never trick us. You know, I got the best school test scores I’ve ever had this week. I really think I’ve become more patient and focused thanks to counting birds.” “That’s true,” Suhani added, surprised. “I also got my best scores ever!” 

🎯 Week 3 – The Surprise 
After week 3, the girls returned excitedly. Both had counted exactly 108 parrots flying over their homes. 
Madam Sporty beamed: “Mission accomplished. You’ve understood the lesson. Keep using this patience and focus, and you will shine — not just in sports, but in everything you do.” 

Suddenly, they heard a voice: “Sairam, Suhani and Saanvi! Congratulations! So much patience, so much focus, well counted!” 

They looked around but saw no one. Then the voice said: “I’m right here!” And a parrot flew to Madam Sporty’s shoulder. 

The girls gasped: “That’s the parrot we saw every day! No wonder they all looked exactly the same. That was you, wasn’t it?” 

The parrot chuckled: Kraa Kraa…, Suhani and Saanvi… I’m not telling you that – it’s my little secret, hee hee! But big congratulations to you both: so much patience, so much focus… well done! Keep up the good work, okay? … Saaai Raaam! 
And then the parrot flew away. 

From that moment on, Suhani and Saanvi didn’t just become great athletes — they also became calm, patient, and focused young people. 
And everyone noticed — on the field, at school, and at home.

SSSSB Story 043a: “Lila Wants to Go Abroad Later” 

SSSSB Story 043a: “Lila Wants to Go Abroad Later” 

Lila and Dharmi were sitting on a little wall, watching the birds flying in front of the mountains. 

“I want to work in another country when I grow up,” said Lila. 

Dharmi said, “I hear that a lot. But it’s not always easy over there, you know.” 

Lila looked surprised. “Why not?” 

Dharmi said: “My cousin is in Japan, and my brother is in Australia. They earn more money than in Nepal!But they had to borrow a lot of money. My cousin misses Nepal and sometimes cries on the phone. My brother says Australia is more fun. He only speaks English now and doesn’t want to come back.” 

“Oh,” said Lila softly. “That’s sad.” 

Dharmi smiled. “That’s why I want to stay here. I love Nepal. I want to help my family and make our country better. That is my dharma.” 

Lila thought for a moment. “Can I help too?” 

“Of course!” said Dharmi. “We can do something beautiful for Nepal together!” 

The two girls jumped down from the wall and ran back to the village, laughing. 

Today’s question: “What can you do in Nepal to help make our country even more beautiful?”

SSSSB Story 043b: “Really? Yes, really!”  

SSSSB Story 043b: “Really? Yes, really!”  

Dharmik and Dipak were having a conversation, sitting on a stone wall overlooking the mountains. The sun was slowly setting behind the hills. 

“I’m thinking about going abroad to work in the future,” said Dipak. 

“Oh, really?” said Dharmik. “My brother has been working in Qatar for years, my sister is in South Korea, and my cousin even works in Japan.” 
 
“Really? That’s impressive,” said Dipak, his eyes wide. “At least you have family abroad. In my family, no one has ever gone further than Kathmandu Airport.” 

Dipak continued, “I also want to go abroad — not for myself, but for my family. If I work abroad, I can earn well and send money home.  
Many young people do that. I want to support my parents too.” 

There was a moment of silence. Dharmik looked at his friend and then said calmly: “That’s brave of you, Dipak. But things aren’t always as perfect as they seem.  
My family also expects me to go abroad… but I want to stay in Nepal.” 

Dipak looked surprised.“What? You? You have such a big opportunity to build your future and  
help your family! You must be joking?” 

Dharmik shook his head. “No, my good friend. I mean it. Let me give you four examples from what I’ve seen”: 

Example1: “My brother, sister, and cousin all faced a lot of difficulties.  
They had to borrow money to be able to leave. It took years to repay the debt.  
"And now the people we had borrowed money from look at us with slanted eyes and no longer speak to us, because it took longer to repay the borrowed money than we had promised." 
 
Dipak: “Really?” Dharmik: “Yes, really”. Now, example2:  “My sister has changed. She’s become very arrogant.  
She acts like she’s the queen of South Korea.  
She feels superior to other Nepalis just because she lives abroad.” 

Dipak: “Really?” 

Dharmik: “Yes, really”. Then example3:  “My brother is still kind, but he looks down on Nepal now.  
He says everything in Qatar is better. He doesn’t appreciate our country anymore.” 

Dipak: “Really?” 
Dharmik: “Yes, my friend. Really”. And example4: My cousin is also kind,  
but he no longer respects our culture. He only speaks English with us, even though we don’t understand it well. He even refuses to speak Nepali with our grandparents, our mother and father.” 

Dipak: “Really?” 
Dharmik: “Yes, really. Though he’s still sweet sometimes. Recently he brought me a Japanese game – Riichi Mahjong. I asked him to explain the rules, but he did so in English. I didn’t understand anything! Luckily, I know Rayan from Balkot – he knows all the SSSSB gift games and explains them clearly to all students who don’t understand.” 

Dipak fell silent for a while. He looked at the birds and the mountains. 

“So, what are you going to do?” he asked softly. 

“I’m staying here,” said Dharmik firmly. “I want to follow my dharma with love – because that is the right thing for my family, my village, my country… and especially to show gratitude to the many saints, and to my Sita Mata, my Lord Buddha, and my Swami. I want to build something here. I don’t want to run away. It might be harder, but in the long run, it will be better.” 

Dipak: “But how do you think about these things? How do you see it this way?” 

Dharmik: “I learned that in the SSSSB class, from my SSSSB Gurus.” 

Dipak: “Balkot is too far for me. Otherwise, I’d go every week.” 

Dharmik: “Distance isn’t a problem. You can join through Zoom!” 

Dipak: “Really? It’s just a shame I don’t have a phone or laptop.” 

Dharmik: “No problem, Dipak. Just come to my house on Saturday. Guru Daju sends the Zoom codes at 8:30, and class begins at 9:00!” 

The two boys smiled. They stayed in Nepal. Not only that — they started a business together and did a lot of seva. Today, they run three businesses across Nepal,  
employing 108 young people who work joyfully and help build their nation.

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: 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 named Zoya 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: What would you like Pardesie Daju to touch to make smaller or go away? 

After that week, he went home. 
Zoya sang: 🎵 “Pardesie, Pardesie, don’t go… stay with us.” 🎵

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 – “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 🥭🥭.

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 🥭! 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 🪴🪴. 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 🥭💛.

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 🥭. One mango 🥭 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 🥭 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 🥭🥭!”

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

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 🪴.

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 🪴.

Because she was always busy caring for the mango seeds, everyone began calling her
"Mango-Girl" 🥭👧.

The two mango seeds, each in a pot on the balcony, started talking to each other in mango language 🍃: 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 🪴🪴 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?” 🏡🥭

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 🥭.”

The other said: “Yes! Let’s both give her many mangoes 🥭. 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 🥭 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 🌳🥭.

Question 2: How was the story?

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: 👉 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: 👉 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: 👉 What would you say if you were Boy 2?

🇬🇧 SSSSB Story 047a – Wealth, Health and Character For Children aged 5–9

🇬🇧 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.

💬 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."

💬 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."

💬 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:
👉 "Let’s ask our SSSSB Guru!"

👩🏽‍🏫 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."
👉 The girls nodded: ✅

2️⃣ "If you are healthy, but do bad things, your health won’t help much."
👉 They nodded again: ✅

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."
👉 The girls nodded happily: ✅

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.

💬 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.

💬 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.

💬 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]

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.

💬 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.

💬 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.

💬 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 ?

Story 048a – ArawMoto and the Toy Shop

 

SSSSB Story 048a – ArawMoto and the Toy Shop (For children aged 5 to 9)

Once upon a time, there was a boy named ArawMoto.

He loved playing games and doing indoor activities like coloring and board games.

But most of all, he loved playing outside—so he could run, jump, and move freely!

His biggest dream was: 🎁 To buy the big sports and games box from the toy shop!

Inside the box were: a ball, jump rope, mini tennis set, checkerboard, sand timer, coloring

markers, game booklets, and all kinds of games from around the world.

The box cost 5 dollars, and ArawMoto had already saved 4 dollars.

Every day, he looked at the box and whispered: “I wish I could buy it…”

One day, he asked the shop lady: “Madam, may I take the box? I have 4 dollars.”

She replied: “No, young boy. You can only take the sports and games box when you have 5

dollars. You’re still missing one.”

ArawMoto felt sad. He needed to be patient and keep saving

💭 What would you do if you had 4 dollars but needed 5?

How would you try to get that last dollar?

SSSSB Story 048b – ArawMoto and the Sports & Games Shop (Ages 10 and Up)

SSSSB Story 048b – ArawMoto and the Sports Game Shop (Ages 10 and Up)
Once upon a time, there was a boy named ArawMoto who always wanted to grow in everything he did.
His favorite things were sports and games—he loved competitions and learning new skills.
His dream was to own a big sports and games set filled with equipment so he could explore new games and improve.
The set included:
Tangram, checkers, chessboard, hourglass, small clock, booklets
Tennis set, football, cricket set, carrom, badminton, volleyball
Traditional games from Nepal and Congo like dandi biyo, lingo khel, spinning tops, likembe, awalé, elastic game, mbila, tug-of-war, hoop rolling, and foot volleyball.
The full set cost $25. In the city was a big sports and toy shop run by Mrs. SportPlay.
ArawMoto walked past it daily, gazing longingly at the set.

He had saved $20 and finally gathered the courage to go in. “Sairam, Mrs. SportPlay. I’d like to buy the Super Sports and Games set.”
She replied coldly, “It’s $25 per set. I have three left. Want all three? That’ll be $75.”
“No, ma’am. Just one. But I’m short by $5…”
“Come back when you have the full amount,” she said, dismissively.
Just then, an SSSSB teacher entered, bought two sets for her classes, paid $50, said “Sairam,” and left. Only one set remained.
Panicked, ArawMoto pleaded, “Please accept $20 now, and I’ll bring the rest later!”
But she refused and sent him away.
Question 1: What would you do if you were ArawMoto, trying to get the last set?

Sad, ArawMoto sat outside—but then got an idea.
Each day, he secretly flipped the “Open” sign to “Closed.”
No customers came for a week. Mrs. SportPlay, confused, went to a wise Guru.

The guru said: “Your karma has turned:
– You were unkind to children.
– You overcharge the wealthy and tourists.
– You favor the rich, not the poor.”

He added, “ArawMoto is outside your shop now. This time, with the full $25.”

Shocked, Mrs. SportPlay admitted, “Guruji, you are right. Please help me change.”

Guruji said, “Work with ArawMoto. Soon many children will visit your shop, Listen carefull to there wishes

and there conversation”

She rushed back. ArawMoto was there and confessed, “Madam, I did a very bad thing—I turned the sign to

‘Closed’ for the whole week. Please forgive me.”

Mrs. SportPlay hugged him. “It is ok, you opened my heart. From now on, I’ll be fair and kind to all.”

She wanted to give him the set for free—but ArawMoto insisted on paying.

Then he said, “May I help in your shop after school for a month, to repay the lost sales?”

She agreed happily.

ArawMoto welcomed children, explained the games, and made shy kids feel at home.

The shop filled with love and joy. Sales grew—but what truly touched Mrs. SportPlay was something more:

She began donating part of her profits and regularly gave away games to the children who came to the

shop.

On ArawMoto’s last day, a big group of children came in.

Mrs. SportPlay remembered Guruji’s words—and listened closely.

Question 2: If you were the owner of the Sports Game Shop, how would you run your store?"

SSSSB Story 049a – Start Now! You Already Have What You Need (For children aged 5–9)

Sumit was 7 years old. Bibek was 8 years old. They were best friends.

They liked talking after school. They had big dreams!
Sumit said, “One day, when I have everything, I will do great things!”

Bibek said, “Yes! When I’m big and rich, I will help people too!”

But then they stopped and thought. “Why are we waiting?” said Bibek.
Sumit nodded, “We can start helping people now!” So they did!

They started doing little Seva (loving service):

✅ They helped their parents at home
✅ They cleaned up trash on the street
✅ They shared their snacks at school
✅ They smiled at people who looked sad
✅ They said kind words and helped others feel happy

Soon, other people saw what they were doing.
Even their teacher said, “These boys show us that kindness can begin right now!”

Sumit said,“We didn’t need to wait to be big!”
Bibek smiled, “We already had everything we needed to help.”

They were just 7 and 8 years old - but they became helpers, leaders, and examples.
And they made the world a little brighter every day. 🌟

SSSSB Story 049b – Start Now: You have more than enough to begin (For children aged 10 and up)


SSSSB Story 049b – Start Now: You have more than enough to begin (For children aged 10 and up)

There were two 15-year-old boys, Sumit and Bibek, who often talked together after school.
They were full of dreams — dreams to help their family, improve their city, change their country, and even make the world a better place.
“One day, when I have everything, I will do great things in the world,” said Sumit proudly.
Bibek nodded: “Yes, me too, when I’m grown up, rich, and successful — then I will help people and solve problems.”

Question 1: What do you think about the boys' idea that you have to be grown up, rich, and successful before you can take the opportunity to do Seva?

One Saturday, the friends went on a walk together.
Along the way, they happened to pass by an SSSSB gathering and decided to go inside.
There, the SSSSB-guru gave a beautiful talk about selfless service and practicing values — not in the future, but already now.
She said: “Don’t wait until you are grown up, successful, or rich.
1] Start now and don’t wait until you are grown up — because you already have more than enough to begin.
2] Don’t wait until you are successful — because success is waiting for you and will come to you if you do good karma.
3] Don’t wait until you are rich either — wealth is also waiting to come to you, once you serve with love.”

In conclusion, the SSSSB-guru said:
“"Even small actions, when connected to values, help you succeed in all aspects of life.
But… stay mindful, because being connected to values means not giving space to pride, ego, or the feeling that you are better than others."

These words touched Sumit and Bibek deeply.
They looked at each other and realized how much time they had wasted waiting for the “right moment.”
Both thought sadly: “We’re already 15… and we haven’t been wise at all in our life so far.
Why didn’t we start when we were 5 years old? For 10 years we didn’t use the opportunities.
Bhakt Prahlad even started when he was 4.5 years old!”

From that day, they changed their way of thinking.They began with acts of loving service:
✅ They helped their parents and also all the grandparents in the neighborhood who had no help
✅ They cleaned up litter and kept their neighborhood tidy
✅ They shared their lunch with a classmate who had forgotten his food or liked what they had
✅ They visited sick people and those who were often alone
✅ They learned to see the good in others and worked continuously on their own shortcomings

People began to notice. Their actions inspired others.
Soon even their school principal and the mayor of their city said:
 “These boys remind us: real change begins when we serve with love.”

One day Bibek said: “Guruji was right. Everyone gives us so much love and respect. We didn’t have to wait at all. We should have just started on our fifth birthday.”
And Sumit said:
“I hope that in my next life, when I’m five, I’ll find a Guruji who reminds me of this in case I forget.”

The boys had only gone to one SSSSB class, but they started practicing right away, and became examples for the whole world. They inspired everyone who crossed their path, every single day.

Question 2: What Seva opportunities do you have right now in your current situation? Are you already using those Seva chances?

🐘🐴 SSSSB Story 050a: The Elephant and the Horse in the Forest (For children aged 5 to 9)

In a beautiful forest lived an elephant and a horse. They were good friends.
One day, they sat under a tree and talked in animal language.

🐘 Elephant said: "Horse, I don’t understand something. People are smart. They know what is right and what is wrong. But still, they sometimes make bad choices."

🐴 Horse asked: "What do you mean, dear Elephant?"

🐘 Elephant said: "Some people get angry too quickly. Sometimes they say unkind things. They put animals in cages and zoos. They eat animals, even though plants are good and healthy too."

The horse thought for a moment. 🐴 Then he said gently: "You’re right, Elephant. But let’s not be angry at people. Maybe they just don’t understand yet. Let’s do something beautiful: " Let us think Positive!"
🐴 Horse explained: "That means: only think good thoughts. Only listen to good things. Only look at what’s beautiful. And try to do good yourself too."

🐘 Elephant smiled: "What a lovely idea, friend Horse! I’ll do that too. I won’t complain or gossip anymore. I’ll show people the good side of me."

✨ When they closed their eyes and breathed gently, they felt something warm in their hearts — the light of love and understanding.

💬 A question for you: What would you say if you were an animal who could talk to people?
Would you say something kind? Would you help them understand better?
