Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a humble farmer named Tom. Tom was known for his hard work and kind heart. He always helped his neighbors whenever they needed it.
One day, a wise old owl flew into the village and landed on Tom’s farm. The owl had a message for Tom. “Dear Tom, I have come to teach you a lesson about the value of friendship,” the owl said.
Tom was surprised. “Me? A lesson? What do I need to learn?” he asked.
The owl smiled and said, “You have many friends in this village, but you never take the time to appreciate them. Remember, true friendship is not about how much you give, but how much you receive.”
Tom thought about the owl’s words and realized he had been taking his friends for granted. He decided to change his ways.
The next day, Tom invited all his friends over for a picnic. They laughed, played games, and shared stories. Tom listened to his friends and learned about their lives. He realized how much he had missed out on.
From that day on, Tom made a point to spend more time with his friends. He appreciated their company and showed his gratitude for their friendship. In return, his friends appreciated him even more.
The wise old owl watched from a distance and smiled. He knew that Tom had learned the value of friendship and would cherish it forever.
And so, the village became a happier place, filled with strong friendships and warm hearts. Tom’s lesson taught him that true friendship is a precious gift that should be cherished and nurtured.
