Once upon a time in a small village surrounded by hills, there lived a young boy named Arjun. Arjun was known for being curious and having many dreams. One day, while exploring the forest near his home, he found an old, dirty lamp partly buried in the ground. Curious, he picked it up and rubbed it gently. To his surprise, a genie appeared.
The genie, with a kind but serious face, said, "Thank you for freeing me, young one. I will grant you three wishes, but choose wisely because each wish has a consequence."
Arjun's eyes shone with excitement. Without thinking much, he quickly wished for a beautiful palace filled with treasures. In an instant, his small home turned into a grand palace. But as days passed, he noticed that his close friends and neighbors started to stay away, feeling scared of his new wealth.
Understanding that his first wish made him lonely, Arjun decided to make his second wish. This time, he wished to know everything. The genie granted his wish, and suddenly, Arjun knew all the knowledge in the world. But this made him feel overwhelmed and lonely, as he could no longer talk to others who did not understand him.
With only one wish left, Arjun thought deeply. He remembered how happy he was before the wishes, enjoying simple moments with his friends and family. He went to the genie and said, "For my last wish, I wish for everything to go back to how it was before I found the lamp."
The genie nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the palace disappeared, and Arjun found himself back in his simple home. His friends and neighbors came back, welcoming him warmly. Arjun had lost the riches and vast knowledge, but he got back something much more valuable: the love and friendship of his community.
And so, Arjun learned to appreciate what he had and to cherish his friends and family, understanding that sometimes, the greatest treasures are found in the simplest things.
