We all must love each other because only when we love each other and helping each other, we could go to heaven. Only those who listen to God can enter heaven. Heaven is not for those who disobey God. When we misbehave, we need to tell God we are sorry, so God can forgive us. We must repent and go to confession with a priest at church. God will forgive us and we all love each other again. And we love each other even more than before.

एक छोटे से गाँव में एक लड़का रहता था, जिसका नाम था आदित्य। आदित्य को बचपन से ही आसमान में उड़ने का बहुत शौक था। वह हमेशा अपने दोस्तों से कहता, “एक दिन मैं बहुत ऊँचा उड़ूँगा, जैसे कि पक्षी उड़ते हैं।" लेकिन गाँव में कोई भी यह नहीं मानता था कि वह आसमान तक पहुँच सकता है। सभी कहते थे, "तुम छोटे हो, यह तुम्हारे बस का नहीं है।" लेकिन आदित्य ने हार मानने का नाम नहीं लिया। एक दिन गाँव में एक बड़ा खेल प्रतियोगिता हुआ, जिसमें ऊँची कूद का भी एक इवेंट था। आदित्य ने तय किया कि वह इस प्रतियोगिता में भाग लेगा। लेकिन लोग हंसी उड़ाते हुए कहने लगे, "तुम कैसे जीत सकते हो, तुम तो बहुत छोटे हो।" आदित्य ने अपनी मेहनत शुरू कर दी। रोज़ वह कड़ी ट्रेनिंग करता, और अपनी सीमाओं को तोड़ने की कोशिश करता। उसे गिरने और थकने का डर नहीं था। वह जानता था कि अगर उसने हार मान ली, तो कभी ऊँचाई नहीं पा सकेगा। प्रतियोगिता के दिन आदित्य ने पूरी ताकत से कूदने की कोशिश की। पहले प्रयास में वह गिर गया, लेकिन उसने हार नहीं मानी। फिर से उसने कोशिश की और दूसरी बार कूदा। और इस बार उसने जीत हासिल की! आदित्य ने यह साबित कर दिया कि अगर दिल में इरादा मजबूत हो, तो कोई भी मुश्किल बड़ी नहीं होती। आदित्य की जीत ने पूरे गाँव को चौंका दिया। सभी ने उसे सराहा और कहा, "तुमने सच में आसमान की ऊँचाई छू ली!"

Adventure with dad and child

Long ago, in the village of Gokul, there lived a little boy named Krishna. He was no ordinary boy; he was full of mischief and had a heart as big as the world! Krishna loved playing with his friends, but there was something he loved even more—butter! Krishna’s mother, Yashoda, made the tastiest butter in the village. She stored it in pots and hung them high up, thinking Krishna couldn’t reach. But Krishna was clever! One day, he gathered his friends and whispered a plan. “Let’s make a tower!” Krishna said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. His friends stood one on top of the other, making a human ladder. Krishna, being the smallest, climbed all the way to the top. He stretched his hand, grabbed the butter pot, and ate it with a big grin on his face! But just then, Yashoda walked in. “Krishna!” she exclaimed, “You’re stealing butter again!” Krishna, with his cheeks puffed full of butter, looked at his mother with innocent eyes and said, “Mother, the butter was too high for me to reach. How could I have taken it?” Yashoda smiled at her naughty little boy. She knew Krishna was special, and even when he was mischievous, his heart was pure. Instead of scolding him, she hugged him tight. From that day on, the villagers called Krishna “Makhan Chor,” the butter thief, but they loved him even more because he brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. And so, Krishna continued to fill the village with happiness, always reminding everyone that love and joy are what truly matter. The End.
