Once Upon a Time…
Long ago, in Mount Kailash, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati’s two sons—Ganesha (the wise, elephant-headed boy) and Kartikeya (the brave warrior on a peacock)—were playing happily.
One day, the gods gave them a challenge:
“Whoever goes around the whole world first will win a special fruit of wisdom!” 🍎✨
Kartikeya jumped on his speedy peacock and zoomed away. 🌍💨
But Ganesha, with his round belly and mouse as his ride, thought deeply. 🤔
Ganesha’s Clever Idea
Instead of running far, Ganesha quietly walked around his parents—Shiva and Parvati—three times.
When asked why, he smiled and said:
“For me, my parents are my entire world.” 💖
Shiva and Parvati were touched. They gave the fruit of wisdom to Ganesha.
🌱 Moral of the Story
Love and respect for parents is the greatest wisdom of all.
