Read this beautiful story about a hardworking boy named Ram and learn about the importance of honesty and integrity.
एक गाउँमा राम नाम गरेको एक मेहनती केटा बस्थ्यो। ऊ सधैं बिहान चाँडै उठ्थ्यो र आफ्नो बुबाआमालाई काममा सघाउँथ्यो। उसको परिवार धेरै धनी थिएन, तर उनीहरू सधैं खुसी रहन्थे। रामलाई पढ्न निकै मन पर्थ्यो, त्यसैले ऊ विद्यालय जान कहिल्यै छुटाउँदैनथ्यो।
एक दिन विद्यालय जाँदै गर्दा उसले बाटोमा एउटा पुरानो झोला भेट्टायो। उसले झोला खोल्दा त्यसभित्र धेरै पैसा र केही महत्वपूर्ण कागजातहरू भेटिए। रामले केही बेर सोच्यो के उसले यो पैसा आफूले राख्ने कि यसको साँचो मालिकलाई फर्काउने?
अन्ततः, उसले सही निर्णय गर्यो। ऊ गाउँमा सोधपुछ गर्दै झोलाको मालिक खोज्न लाग्यो। केही समयपछि उसले एक वृद्ध मानिसलाई भेट्टायो, जो निकै चिन्तित देखिन्थे। ती वृद्धले आफ्नो झोला हराएको बताएका थिए।
रामले झोला फिर्ता दिँदा वृद्ध मानिस धेरै खुसी भए र उसलाई धन्यवाद दिए। उनले रामको इमानदारीको प्रशंसा गरे र सानो पुरस्कार पनि दिए। त्यस दिनदेखि राम गाउँभरि इमानदार र असल केटाको रूपमा चिनिन थाल्यो।
In a village, there lived a hardworking boy named Ram. He always woke up early in the morning and helped his parents with their work. His family was not very wealthy, but they were always happy. Ram loved studying, so he never missed going to school.
One day, while on his way to school, he found an old bag on the road. When he opened it, he saw that it contained a lot of money and some important documents. Ram thought for a while should he keep the money for himself or return it to its rightful owner?
In the end, he made the right decision. He started asking around the village to find the owner of the bag. After some time, he met an elderly man who looked very worried. The man said that he had lost his bag.
When Ram returned the bag, the elderly man was very happy and thanked him. He praised Ram’s honesty and even gave him a small reward. From that day on, Ram became known throughout the village as an honest and good boy.
