In a remote village of Bajura, Nepal, there lived an honest farmer named Hari with his wife and two children. Though he was poor, he always walked the path of truth and integrity. His biggest dream was to provide a good education for his children. However, since the school was far from the village, it felt like an impossible dream.
One evening, as Hari was returning home from a nearby village, he walked through a dense forest. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the strong wind made the trees sway violently. The atmosphere was eerie and frightening. Suddenly, Hari’s foot hit something hard buried in the ground. Curious and a bit scared, he removed the dirt and discovered an old, large jar.
With trembling hands, he opened the lid and found shining gold coins and ancient ornaments inside. Shocked and overwhelmed, he quickly closed the jar and carried it home.
When he told his wife about the treasure, she looked worried and said, “Hari, what if this is cursed wealth?”
That night, Hari could not sleep. Many questions troubled his mind—should he keep the treasure for his family’s benefit, or was it meant for something greater?
The next morning, he sought advice from the village elders. One wise old man took a deep breath and said, “This might be the lost treasure of an ancient king or nobleman. But if we use it wisely, it could bring prosperity to the whole village.”
However, not everyone agreed. Some greedy villagers argued, “We should divide the gold among ourselves! Why think about others?” The atmosphere became tense.
Hari knew in his heart that the right thing to do was to help the village. Summoning courage, he proposed a solution—to use the treasure to build a school for the children.
At first, some villagers opposed the idea, but eventually, they saw reason and supported Hari’s decision. Working together, they used the gold coins to construct a small but well-equipped school. Within a few months, the school was ready, and now children no longer had to travel far for education. Knowledge began to spread, and the village started transforming for the better.
But soon, strange incidents occurred. At night, mysterious sounds echoed from the place where the treasure had been found, as if someone was searching for it.
One night, Hari had a dream where he saw an old man dressed in white. The old man said, “Hari, you have used the treasure wisely. You have brought light through education. This wealth was entrusted to you, and you have fulfilled your duty.”
The next morning, Hari went back to the forest. To his astonishment, the place where the jar had been buried was now empty—no gold, no signs of the treasure. The villagers were shocked, but Hari felt no fear.
He knew the truth—real wealth is not gold, but knowledge. When people walk the path of truth and justice, it benefits everyone. Even in times of greed, fear, and uncertainty, the right decision can change the future of an entire community.
Moral of the Story: True wealth is not in gold but in knowledge. Walking the path of truth and justice brings prosperity to all. When one chooses wisdom over greed, it can change not just one life, but an entire generation.
