Story 36b: Always Think and Do Good [for 5-9 years]

In a quiet village in Congo, there were two 8-year-old girls, Lila from Africa and Babita from Nepal. They met each other during a special exchange and quickly became good friends.

One day, they sat together under a large tree in the village and talked about what they had learned from their wise teachers. Lila said, "My teacher always said: 'If you think and do good, you will become happy and exemplary.'"

Babita nodded and said, "Yes, my teacher also told us that if we always see the good in others, we feel better about ourselves. I used to think negatively, but since I learned to always focus on the positive, I feel much happier!"

Lila smiled and said, "I think we can do so much together if we stay positive! We can help everyone, and everyone will love us."

They decided to make a promise together: "We will always think positively, hear good things, and help others. And when something is difficult, we will ask Bhagwan Baba for help and do our best."

Lila and Babita knew that thinking positively would help them stay happy and exemplary, and that with their kindness, they could make the world better.

Question of the day: Give examples of thinking, hearing, seeing, and doing good.
