5. “The Tale of Two Seeds**
In a lush valley, a farmer planted two seeds, side by side. Both received the same sun, rain, and soil, but their perspectives were vastly different.
The first seed, **Aasha**, was grateful for every drop of rain and every ray of sunlight. She grew steadily, rooted deeply in the earth, thankful for each day’s small blessings. “The world is good to me,” she often whispered, content in her growth.

The second seed, **Lalasa**, was never satisfied. She constantly envied the taller trees and grumbled about needing more—more sun, more rain, more space. “I deserve better,” she fumed, always wanting what others had, never appreciating what she received.
One day, a powerful storm hit the valley. The winds howled, and rain poured fiercely from the sky. Aasha bent gently with the storm, her deep roots anchoring her through the chaos. She trusted the earth beneath her, knowing she had enough to endure.
But Lalasa, with her shallow roots, wasn’t prepared. The storm’s fury tore her from the ground, and she was washed away, her final thought one of regret: “If only I had appreciated what I had…”
When the storm passed, Aasha stood tall, her leaves shimmering in the sunlight. She had not only survived but thrived. Her gratitude had rooted her deeply, making her strong enough to withstand life’s storms. Over time, she blossomed into a mighty tree, offering shade and fruit to all who passed by.
When asked about her secret, she always smiled and said, **“Gratitude over greed. When you appreciate what you have, you grow stronger. When you chase more, you lose what matters most.”**
**Moral:**
Gratitude builds resilience and strength, allowing us to weather life’s challenges, while greed leaves us shallow, easily uprooted by the storms of life.
