The story
At the end of the day, the little boat came home to the harbour.
The waves rocked it gently — to and fro, to and fro. The sea hummed a slow, soft song.
The lighthouse blinked a sleepy goodnight, and the little boat, rocking gently, drifted into dreams.
Moral of the Story
Gentle rhythms help us relax.
कहानी — झूलती-झूलती सोई नाव
दिन ख़त्म होने पर नन्ही नाव बंदरगाह पर अपने घर लौट आई।
लहरों ने उसे धीरे-धीरे झुलाया — इधर-उधर, इधर-उधर। समुद्र एक धीमा, नरम गीत गुनगुनाता रहा।
लाइटहाउस ने उनींदी पलकें झपकाकर शुभ रात्रि कहा, और धीरे-धीरे झूलती हुई नन्ही नाव सपनों में खो गई।
कहानी की सीख
धीमी, एक सी लय हमें आराम देती है।
