Sabari was an old woman who lived in the forest. Every day, she cleaned the path outside her small hut. She kept it ready — because she believed that one day, Lord Rama would come.
Many people laughed at her. “Why would Rama visit you?” they asked. But Sabari waited with love and faith.
One day, Rama did come. Sabari was filled with joy. She wanted to offer him fruits, but she had nothing fancy — just wild berries.
She picked each berry, tasted it first to check if it was sweet, and then kept it aside for Rama. When Rama arrived, she offered him those berries with trembling hands.
Lakshmana looked shocked. “She tasted them before giving?” he thought.
But Rama smiled and ate them happily. “These are the sweetest fruits I’ve ever tasted,” he said.
Sabari’s love made the berries special. Rama didn’t care if they were half-eaten. He only saw the love in her heart.
Moral: Love makes even the simplest gift beautiful.
Parent Tip: Celebrate your child’s homemade drawings, cards, or flowers — not their perfection, but their heart.
