In a quiet village, two best friends lived: Aarav and Kabir. They did everything together—played, studied, and even fought sometimes. One day, a wise old teacher gave them a task. He handed them a spool of thread and said, ‘This is an invisible thread of friendship. Every kind act you do will strengthen it. Every mean act will weaken it.’
The boys laughed, thinking it was silly. But as days passed, Aarav helped Kabir with homework, and Kabir shared his lunch when Aarav forgot his. They felt closer and happier.
One day, they argued and said hurtful things to each other. That night, both dreamt that the thread between them had snapped. They woke up feeling empty. The next morning, Aarav said sorry, and Kabir forgave him. The invisible thread returned, stronger than ever.
The teacher smiled. ‘True friendship isn’t about never fighting, but about caring enough to fix what’s broken.’
Moral: Friendship is a bond that grows with kindness and weakens with ego. Always choose to care.
