Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a cute and playful squirrel named Shona. She was always running around the trees, gathering nuts and berries for her family. One sunny day, Shona stumbled upon a beehive that was dripping with golden honey. Her mouth watered as she looked at the sweet and delicious treat. But as she was about to taste the honey, she noticed a group of angry bees buzzing around, guarding their precious hive.
Shona knew she could not take the honey by force. She remembered her mother’s words about Dharma and karma. According to her mother, Dharma meant doing the right thing at the right time, and karma meant that every action had a consequence. She knew that if she took the honey by force, it would have consequences, and it wouldn’t be the right thing to do. She decided to wait for the right opportunity to get the honey.
Days passed, and the bees were still guarding the hive. Shona didn’t want to harm the bees or the hive. She decided to be patient and waited for the right time. One day, Shona saw a group of monkeys playing in the forest. They were having fun, but they were also making a lot of noise. Shona knew that monkeys and bees never got along, and that gave her an idea.
Shona went to the monkeys and asked them to make some noise near the beehive. The monkeys agreed, and they went to the beehive and started making loud noises. The bees got angry and started buzzing around the monkeys, leaving the hive unguarded. Shona saw this as the perfect opportunity and quickly climbed the tree to get the honey.
As she was taking the honey, she noticed a tiny ant trying to carry a large piece of food. Shona remembered her mother’s words about helping others, and she decided to help the ant. She put some honey on a leaf and offered it to the ant. The ant was grateful and thanked Shona for her kindness.
Shona was happy that she got the honey, but she was even happier that she could help the ant. She knew that her actions would have consequences, and she wanted them to be good. She realized that Dharma and karma were not just words, but they were values that she should always follow.
From that day on, Shona continued to gather nuts and berries for her family, but she also looked for opportunities to help others. She realized that small acts of kindness could make a big difference in someone’s life, and that was the most important thing.
