This lesson tells the story of a young girl named Madhu who has a special wish. Through Madhu's story, we learn how wishes can teach us about kindness, hope, and what truly makes us happy.
About the Story
Madhu is a girl who thinks carefully about what she wants most. Her wish shows us that the best wishes are not always about things we want for ourselves — sometimes the most beautiful wish is for others to be happy too.
