Madhu is a boy who loves food and enjoys trying different types of snacks. One day, he meets an old man under a banyan tree and shares his lunch with him. This act of kindness leads to a surprising opportunity for Madhu.
Madhu really liked food and always tried new snacks. Every day, he ate lunch under a big tree. One day, an old man came while he was eating. Madhu shared his food with him because he felt sorry for him. The old man was happy and said Madhu could ask for anything from a magical tree nearby.
Excited, Madhu wished for lots of different foods from the tree but forgot to ask for water. The tree gave him all the food he wanted—sweets, fruits, snacks—but no water. Madhu enjoyed eating at first but soon got thirsty and got hiccups.
He tried other drinks but still needed water. Finally, he asked the tree to change all the food for water. The tree reminded him that water is very important. Madhu realized his mistake and asked only for water.
The tree gave him water, and he drank it happily. His hiccups stopped, and he learned that water is essential.
The moral of the story is to be grateful for what we have and to understand the value of essentials like water. It also emphasizes the importance of thinking carefully before making a wish or decision.
The theme of the story revolves around kindness, gratitude, and realizing the importance of essentials like water. It also teaches us that sometimes we overlook basic needs in pursuit of material desires.
