She was hungry.
And she was holding a wallet full of money.
In a small town lived a poor little girl named Anaya.
Her father was sick.
Her mother washed dishes in other people’s houses.
Many nights, Anaya slept hungry.
One evening, while walking home from school,
she saw a wallet lying on the road.
She picked it up.
Inside it were many currency notes.
More money than she had ever seen.
Her heart began to beat fast.
“With this money, I can buy food,”
she whispered.
“I can buy medicine for Papa.”
She looked around.
No one was watching.
For a moment, her hands trembled.
Then she opened the wallet again.
Inside it was an ID card.
The owner’s name was Mr. Verma.
His address was written below.
Anaya took a deep breath.
She walked to the address.
A worried old man opened the door.
“Uncle, is this your wallet?”
she asked softly.
The man’s eyes filled with tears.
“I lost it today. That money was for my wife’s operation.”
He tried to give Anaya a reward.
She shook her head.
“I only did what was right,” she said.
The next day, the old man came to her school.
He had told her story to a newspaper.
People donated money for Anaya’s family.
Her father got treatment.
Her life slowly changed.
Anaya learned one thing forever:
Honesty always finds its own reward.
🌟 MORAL
Honesty may feel hard at first, but it always brings the greatest reward.
