Arjun and Meera were siblings. Arjun would spend his daily pocket money immediately, but Meera saved hers in a piggy bank.
One day, a fair was held at school. Arjun loved the toys there but had no money. He went to Meera and asked for some. Happily, Meera opened her piggy bank and took out a good amount of money.
Arjun was amazed and asked, “Meera, where did you get so much money?” Meera explained that she saved a little every day, which is why she had so much now.
Arjun realized his mistake. He apologized to Meera and said he would learn to save too. The siblings bought toys at the fair and had a great time.
From that day, Arjun started saving his pocket money. He understood that saving little by little can add up to a lot for future needs.
Moral of the story: Cultivate the habit of saving. Even small savings can be very useful in the future.
