" Be Good To Your Enemies"
There lived a little boy named Shyam. He was good in his studies, obedient to his parents, and more intelligent than his friends.
There was another boy named Nabin who studied in the same class as Shyam. Unlike Shyam, he was not good at studies and always liked to play during school hours. misbehaved with his parents, bullied his classmates and even ill-treated Shyam. He always tried to put Shyam down and belittled him before other kids in the class. But no matter what he did, Shyam's grades kept getting better and better. Whether in studies or in sports or from his classmates, Shyam kept getting accolades from everywhere.
On his birthday, Shyam got a nice pen as a gift from his parents. He brought it to school. This was a very beautiful pen. When Nabin saw it, he was very jealous of Shyam. He asked Shyam,
"Hey, where did you get that? Did you buy it?"
"My parents gave it as a birthday gift to me," replied Shyam.
Nabin was overwhelmed with anger and jealousy. He decided to steal Shyam's pen. During recess, when everyone had gone out of the class, Nabin opened Shyam's bag and took out his pen. Then he hid it inside his bag and went out to have his tiffin.
When Shyam came back and could not find his pen, he informed his class teacher about it. There was a hunt for the missing pen and the class teacher ordered the class monitor to search the bag of every child inside the class. The missing pen was soon found in Nabin's bag and the furious teacher asked him,
"Now Nabin, what do you have to say about it?"
Nabin was in tears. He had nothing to say.
When Shyam saw Nabin cry, he took pity on the boy. The kind boy that he was, he had no ill feelings against his classmate. He requested his class teacher not to take any action against Nabin, now that his stolen pen was found.
This opened Nabin's eyes. He could now see what a good boy Shyam was. He asked for forgiveness from his teacher and Shyam. From that day, he became friends with Shyam and gradually changed himself to be as good as Shyam.
"आफ्नो शत्रुहरु को लागी राम्रो हुनुहोस्"
त्यहाँ श्याम नामको एउटा बालक बस्थे । उहाँ आफ्नो पढाइमा राम्रो हुनुहुन्थ्यो, आफ्ना आमाबाबुको आज्ञाकारी र आफ्ना साथीहरू भन्दा बढी बुद्धिमान् थिए।
श्यामकै कक्षामा नबिन नामको अर्को केटा पनि पढ्थे । श्यामको विपरीत, उनी पढाइमा अब्बल थिएनन् र सधैं स्कूलको समयमा खेल्न मन पराउँथे। आफ्ना आमाबुवासँग दुर्व्यवहार गरे, कुटपिट गरे
सहपाठीहरू
अनि श्यामलाई पनि दुर्व्यवहार। उसले सधैं श्यामलाई तल राख्ने कोसिस गर्दथ्यो र कक्षामा अरू केटाकेटीहरूको अगाडि उसलाई बेइज्जत गर्यो। तर जे गरे पनि श्यामको अंक राम्रो हुँदै गयो । पढाइमा होस् वा खेलकुद होस् वा सहपाठीबाट, श्यामले जताततै प्रशंसा पाइरहेका थिए ।
श्यामले आफ्नो जन्मदिनमा आमाबुवाबाट एउटा राम्रो कलम उपहारस्वरूप पाएका छन् । उसले विद्यालयमा ल्यायो । यो एक धेरै सुन्दर कलम थियो। यो देखेर नविनलाई श्यामको साह्रै ईर्ष्या भयो । उसले श्यामलाई सोध्यो,
"हे, तिमीले त्यो कहाँ पायौ? किन्नुभयो?"
श्यामले जवाफ दिए, "मेरो आमाबुवाले मलाई जन्मदिनको उपहारको रूपमा दिनुभएको थियो।"
नबिन क्रोध र ईर्ष्याले भरिएको थियो। उनले श्यामको कलम चोर्ने निर्णय गरे। विदाको बेला सबैजना कक्षाबाट बाहिर निस्केपछि नविनले श्यामको झोला खोलेर कलम निकाले । त्यसपछि उसले आफ्नो झोला भित्र लुकायो र आफ्नो टिफिन लिन बाहिर गए।
श्याम फर्किएर कलम नभेट्दा उनले कक्षा शिक्षकलाई यसबारे जानकारी दिए । हराइरहेको कलमको खोजी भइरहेको थियो र कक्षा शिक्षकले कक्षा मनिटरलाई कक्षा भित्रका हरेक बालबालिकाको झोला खोज्न आदेश दिए । नबिनको झोलामा हराएको कलम चाँडै भेटियो र क्रोधित शिक्षकले उनलाई सोधे,
"अब नबिन, यसबारे के भन्नु छ?"
नविनको आँसु थियो । उनीसँग भन्नु केही थिएन ।
नबिन रोएको देखेर श्यामलाई केटालाई दया लाग्यो। ऊ जस्तो दयालु केटा थियो, उसलाई आफ्नो सहपाठीप्रति कुनै नराम्रो भावना थिएन। चोरेको कलम फेला परेपछि उनले आफ्ना कक्षा शिक्षकलाई नबिनलाई कुनै कारबाही नगर्न आग्रह गरे।
यसले नविनको आँखा खोलिदियो । अब उसले देख्न सक्यो कि श्याम कस्तो राम्रो केटा हो। उनले शिक्षक र श्यामसँग माफी मागे। त्यस दिनदेखि उसको श्यामसँग मित्रता भयो र विस्तारै आफूलाई श्यामजस्तै राम्रो बनाउन बदलियो ।
