Explanation

Bijoy sits with his parents for dinner one night and looks unhappy. He tells them he feels unlucky because his friend Dhruv got a television set for his birthday. His parents are surprised and decide to talk about it the next day. 

The next morning, they take Bijoy to a special school where he sees children who are different. Some do not have hands or legs, and some cannot see, hear, or speak. A girl named Uma, who uses a wheelchair, smiles at Bijoy and asks to be his friend. Bijoy agrees and plays with her and the other children. They share their toys and draw pictures for him. Bijoy notices that all the children are happy. 

He asks Uma if she feels sad about not walking. Uma says she is not sad because she has good friends, teachers who teach her new things, and loving parents. This makes Bijoy happy, and he hugs her. When it is time to go home, Bijoy promises to visit every Sunday. On the way back, he tells his parents he feels lucky because he has everything he needs, thanks to their visit to the school.

Message

The story teaches us that true luck is not about having expensive things like a television set. It is about having good friends, loving family, and being happy with what we have. Bijoy learns to value the important things in life instead of feeling jealous of others.
