Shyamu was a jealous and a selfish boy. One day, he was invited to one of his friend’s dance party. The party was planned in a club house. A competition was awaiting for everybody who came to the party. It was a dance competition. The one with the coolest moves would win a box of toys.
During the competition, Shyamu danced excellently but a kid named Jasper danced way more excellently than Shyamu and left the other kids in awe. But Shyamu did not lose hope and was confident that he would win the competition.
Shyamu just walked in pride. He was waiting for the results to be announced. But the judge said that the results would be announced at the end of the party. So, Shyamu was disappointed but he enjoyed the party. When the party came to an end, the results were declared, and Jasper was the winner. Jasper received the prize but Shyamu was so frustrated that he kicked and snatched Jasper’s toys. Everybody was so shocked at Shyamu’s behaviour.
Next day, at school no one spoke with Shyamu. Shyamu realized that he had lost his friends. So, he was weeping. When the teacher came to their class, she saw Shyamu weeping and asked the reason. Shyamu told everything to his teacher. The teacher adviced him. Shyamu realized his mistake and never repeated such behaviour.
