Amit: Hi Neha, hi Rahul! Did you enjoy Tolstoy’s story ‘The Three Questions’ that we read today?
Neha: Yes, very much! I liked the king. He was so eager to find the right answers.
Rahul: But wasn’t he a bit impatient? He kept repeating his questions to the hermit.
Amit: True, but he was also humble. He wore simple clothes and even dug the beds for the old hermit.
Neha: And he was very kind to the wounded man, though he didn’t know him.
Rahul: The best part was that he forgave his enemy and sent his own physician to treat him.
Amit: What did you think of the hermit?
Neha: He was truly wise. He didn’t lecture the king but let him learn from experience.
Rahul: I admired the bearded man too. At least he had the courage to confess and ask for forgiveness.
Amit: Yes, the king’s kindness changed him from an enemy into a friend.
Neha: So the lesson is: the most important time is now, and the most important person is the one we are with.
Rahul: Let’s remember that the next time we ignore someone who needs our help!
