Class Bully and the Quiet Classmate

Aryan was the tallest and strongest boy in his class at a school in Mumbai. Everyone knew him because he was always laughing, talking, and making sure he was the center of attention. But sometimes, Aryan was not so nice. He liked teasing people, especially one boy named Rishi.

Rishi was the quietest kid in class. He was small, wore big glasses, and loved reading and drawing. He always sat in the front row and paid close attention to the teacher.

Aryan and his friends usually ignored Rishi or laughed at him when he answered questions in class. They thought he was too quiet, too serious, and honestly, a little boring. Rishi never said anything about it, but he wished that they would stop laughing at him.

Big Problem

One morning, Aryan entered class like always— happy and confident. But the moment he sat down, he started panicking because he had forgotten to bring his English homework. His English teacher, Mrs. Kapoor, was very strict. If he did not submit his homework, she might even call his parents.

Aryan started looking around the classroom to find someone who could help him. But most of his friends had already given their notebooks to the teacher.

Then, he noticed Rishi, who was quietly reading a book at his desk.

An Unexpected Help

Aryan hesitated. He had never really talked to Rishi nicely before. But right now, he needed help.

He took a deep breath and walked toward Rishi. He asked, “Uh… Rishi, I, um… I forgot my homework. Can I… maybe just take a quick look at yours?”

For a moment, Rishi did not say anything. Aryan was sure he was going to say no. But instead, Rishi just slid his notebook over and said, “You can check it, but don’t copy it. Try to write it in your own words.”

Aryan was shocked. He had never done anything nice for Rishi, but Rishi was helping him without a second thought.

Quickly, he read through the notes and scribbled down his homework as fast as he could. Just as the teacher walked in, he handed Rishi’s notebook back.

“Thanks,” Aryan whispered. Rishi just looked at him and went back to his book.

New Friendship

Mrs. Kapoor collected the homework, and Aryan was now feeling relieved. But as the day went on, he also started feeling guilty.

Rishi had helped him, even though Aryan had never been kind to him before. He had never teased Aryan or laughed at him, yet Aryan and his friends had always ignored him.

At lunch break, Aryan saw Rishi sitting and eating his food alone like he always did. Aryan picked up his lunchbox and walked over to Rishi’s table.

“Can I sit here?” Aryan asked. Rishi looked up and said, “Sure!”

“Thanks for helping me today,” Aryan said, as he gave Rishi a small smile. “That’s okay,” Rishi replied.

“You know,” Aryan said as he opened his lunchbox, “You are really smart. Maybe you can help me study for the math test next week?” Rishi responded. “I would love to.”

From that day, Aryan and Rishi became really close friends. Aryan stopped teasing Rishi and even told his other friends to stop. When someone else tried to make fun of Rishi, Aryan stood up for him.

He realized that Rishi was not just some quiet kid in the class. He was kind, smart, and a truly amazing friend.

Lesson Learned

Being strong does not mean being the loudest or the biggest. It means being kind, understanding people, and treating them with respect.

Aryan learned that sometimes, the quietest people have the biggest hearts. They may not talk a lot, but they can be the best friends you will ever have.

This story reminds us that kindness is very important. No matter who we are, we all have something special to give. And when we help others, we become a stronger and happier person ourselves.

प्र: आर्यन और उसके दोस्त ऋषि को क्यों चिढ़ाते थे?
उ: आर्यन और उसके दोस्तों को लगता था कि ऋषि बहुत शांत, गंभीर और उनके जितना मज़ेदार नहीं था।

प्र: एक सुबह कक्षा में आर्यन को क्या समस्या हुई?
उ: आर्यन अपना अंग्रेज़ी का गृहकार्य भूल गया था और डर रहा था क्योंकि उसकी शिक्षिका बहुत सख्त थीं।

प्र: ऋषि ने आर्यन की कैसे मदद की?
उ: ऋषि ने आर्यन को अपना गृहकार्य देखने दिया लेकिन उसे अपने शब्दों में लिखने के लिए कहा, न कि सीधे नकल करने के लिए।

प्र: ऋषि की मदद करने के बाद आर्यन को बुरा क्यों लगा?
उ: आर्यन को एहसास हुआ कि उसने और उसके दोस्तों ने ऋषि के साथ अच्छा व्यवहार नहीं किया, फिर भी ऋषि ने बिना सोचे-समझे उसकी मदद की।

प्र: आर्यन के व्यवहार में क्या बदलाव आया?
उ: आर्यन ने ऋषि को चिढ़ाना बंद कर दिया, उसका दोस्त बन गया और जब अन्य लोग ऋषि का मज़ाक उड़ाते थे, तो वह उसकी रक्षा भी करने लगा।

हर दिन दयालुता का संकल्प

गतिविधि:
इस चुनौती में बच्चे दूसरों के लिए छोटे-छोटे अच्छे कार्य करके दयालुता का अभ्यास करेंगे। हर दिन, वे एक दयालु कार्य चुनेंगे और उसे पूरा करेंगे। यह किसी दोस्त की मदद करना, खिलौना साझा करना, या किसी की तारीफ करना हो सकता है।

यह मज़ेदार क्यों है?
यह गतिविधि बच्चों को सिखाती है कि छोटे-छोटे दयालु कार्य भी बड़ा अंतर ला सकते हैं। जैसे आर्यन ने कहानी में सीखा, दूसरों के प्रति दयालु होने से अच्छी दोस्ती बन सकती है। साथ ही, जब बच्चे किसी की मदद करते हैं, तो वे खुद भी खुश और गर्व महसूस करते हैं।

सामग्री:
एक छोटा जार या डिब्बा, कागज़ की छोटी पर्चियाँ, और एक पेंसिल।

कैसे करें:
कागज़ की छोटी-छोटी पर्चियों पर दयालु कार्य लिखें (जैसे, “किसी दोस्त की तारीफ करें,” “किसी की पढ़ाई में मदद करें,” “किसी सहपाठी को खेलने के लिए आमंत्रित करें”)।
इन पर्चियों को एक जार या डिब्बे में डाल दें।
हर दिन, बच्चा एक पर्ची निकालेगा और उस पर लिखे कार्य को पूरा करेगा।
हफ्ते के अंत में, इस पर चर्चा करें कि उन्होंने कैसा महसूस किया और उनके अच्छे कार्यों से दूसरों पर क्या असर पड़ा।
उन्हें याद दिलाएँ कि जैसे ऋषि और आर्यन की कहानी में दिखाया गया, दयालुता से मजबूत दोस्ती बन सकती है।
