Hello,

Today, we will hear a very good story.

There was a little girl named Apala. She lived with her parents and grandparents. One day when it was dark, everyone lied down and went into deep sleep. Slowly the night began to pass and then the morning began. Her parents and grandparents woke up a little early, but Apala was still sleeping.

At that time Apala started having a dream in her sleep. What did she experience in the dream? She sees in the dream that she is going to play with her friends in the evening.

Along with studying, it is also necessary to play. Everyone should play daily, so that their body remains agile and does not get sick easily.

So, she played with her friends for a long time, completely immersed in the game, and when it got dark, all those girls started returning to their homes. Now, what happened is that there was a guava tree on the way, on which ripe guavas were hanging. One or two of them climbed the tree and plucked a couple of guavas for each.

On the way, eating guava, they all reached their respective homes. Apala also reached her home, but half of her guava was still left, which she kept in a basket thinking that she would eat it later and went to wash her hands and feet. All this is happening in her dream.

By the way, it is a good habit to wash hands and feet whenever you come from outside, so that outside dirt, dust etc. do not spread in the house.

What happened next was that as soon as she came after washing her hands and feet and picked the guava from the basket, at that moment her mother came and woke her up, “Dear Apala, wake up now, it’s morning, take a bath after brushing.”

Apala could not understand anything at first and then said, “Okay, I will be back soon after brushing my teeth and taking a bath.”

She was a very good child who took great care of cleanliness and used to eat only after brushing in the morning.

As soon as she came after brushing and bathing, she asked her grandmother, “I want to eat my half guava, it is very sweet.” Dadi was shocked thinking when did she eat a guava. She (grandmother) said, “No dear, you must have been dreaming, you haven\’t eaten any guava today.”

Apala said, “Oh, how! I actually went to play and then ate guava. It was so sweet! I want to eat only that guava.”

Both her mother and grandmother tried to explain that all this was happening in a dream. But Apala would repeatedly say, “How in a dream! I myself had climbed the tree and had eaten half of the guava and then the remaining half, I kept it in the basket. I can feel its taste very well even at this moment. I myself did all this. How can it be that all this did not happen? No, I want the same half guava.”

Both of them again tried to explain, “Daughter, whatever happens in a dream, it seems to be real, but it doesn’t really happen. Now don’t insist, take this mango, eat it instead of that guava.

Unwillingly, she went to the mango basket and picked up a mango. But suddenly she was shocked by a thought, and her body got frozen.

His grandmother said, “Hey! What happened? What are you thinking?”

She said, “A question suddenly came up in my mind.”

Grandma said, “okay, tell me”

She said, “You just told me that whatever happens in a dream, it just seems that it is happening in reality but it doesn\’t really happen.”

Grandma said, “Yes, so what?”

She said, “So, the question is whether the mango I am eating right now, am I really eating it in reality, or it is so that I am just experiencing so. Is this also a dream that I am witnessing?”

Since her grandmother used to read a lot of good books, she had a bit of wisdom.

She (grandmother) said, “O dear, what a lovely question you asked! but right now the only answer I have is that it is very much possible that the experience of eating a mango that you are having right now is also a part of a big dream. But everyone has to work hard to find out it’s answer for themselves.

Apala said, “And how does one get the answer?”

Her grandmother said, “For that you have to make good books as your friends, read a lot of them and try to understand them. At the same time, many questions have to be asked and answers to those questions have to be found in those books or from other authentic sources.

Apala said, “From today onwards books are my friends and I will read them daily. I will also ask a lot of questions to understand them in depth because I have to find out my answer.”

Then her grandmother gifted her a lot of good books, which she started reading daily and tried to understand them by asking a lot of questions.

And our story is over, but there is a question now.

‘Tell me, the story we just heard, whether we did so in reality or all of it is just a dream?’
