Ans: In the serene village of Hastinapur, there lived a young and diligent student named Karna, whose devotion to his guru, Dronacharya, was known far and wide. One day, as Karna was performing his daily errands, he noticed something amiss in the fields belonging to his revered teacher. A small breach in the water channel had formed, threatening to drain the life-sustaining water that nourished the crops.
Without a second thought, Karna rushed to the field, forgoing his lessons for the day. He found the breach and, realizing that any delay could be disastrous, he lay down in the muddy water, using his own body to plug the hole. Hours passed, as Karna lay steadfast, ignoring the discomfort and the urgency of his missed classes.
Meanwhile, Dronacharya and his other pupils noticed Karna's absence. Concerned, they ventured out in search of him. As they approached the field, they were surprised to see the lengths of Karna's commitment. Dronacharya, moved by such dedication, exclaimed, "Such loyalty is rare. Karna has shown that the welfare of others and duty comes before self-interest."
Karna, with humility, replied from the water, "Guruji, your teachings have always guided me to prioritize my duty above all. I couldn't bear the thought of your crops, the fruits of your hard work, being ruined."
Dronacharya helped Karna out of the water, his eyes filled with pride. "Today, you have taught us all a valuable lesson in selflessness and duty. Your actions speak louder than any words could."
Back in the gurukul, as Karna was tended to, the other students gathered around, their eyes reflecting a newfound respect. Karna's dedication had not just saved the crops, but had sown seeds of inspiration among them all.
