🇬🇧 SSSSB Story 047a – Wealth, Health and Character For Children aged 5–9

There were three girls. Their names were a bit special:
Wealth, Health, and Character.

On a sunny day, they were sitting together under a tree, chatting.

💬 Wealth said:
"My mommy and daddy called me Wealth because they think money is the most important thing."
The other two girls shook their heads: "No, that’s not true."

💬 Then Health said:
"My parents think health is the most important. That’s why my name is Health."
The other girls shook their heads again: "No, we think something else."

💬 Then Character said:
"My parents say: if you have a good heart and you're honest, everything will be okay. That’s why my name is Character."
But the others still said: "Hmm, we’re not sure..."

They started to get a little upset 😠... but luckily they had a good idea:
👉 "Let’s ask our SSSSB Guru!"

👩🏽‍🏫 Their SSSSB Guru was a kind and wise teacher.
She told beautiful stories and gave advice she had learned through practice and love.

When the girls asked her what is the most important—Wealth, Health, or Character—
the Guru said:

1️⃣ "If you have money, but you are mean or dishonest, you will use the money badly."
👉 The girls nodded: ✅

2️⃣ "If you are healthy, but do bad things, your health won’t help much."
👉 They nodded again: ✅

3️⃣ "But if you have a good character—if you are kind, honest, and brave—then you will take care of your health and use your money wisely."
👉 The girls nodded happily: ✅

Question of the Day: What do you think is the most important—and why?
