In a colorful Indian village nestled between lush green fields and vibrant markets, a tiny robot named Raju was built by a kind-hearted inventor. Raju was curious about everything, especially about making friends. But there was one thing he didn’t understand—how to give a hug! One sunny morning, Raju watched children playing and hugging their elders, feeling a strange longing inside his metal heart. He wondered, 'How can I show I care if I don’t know how to hug?'
Determined to learn, Raju watched a grandmother gently hug her grandson after a story. He tried to mimic her, extending his tiny arms. But instead of a warm hug, he accidentally patted her head with a clumsy metal hand! The grandmother giggled softly, and Raju felt a little sad. 'Maybe I’m not meant to hug,' he thought, feeling a bit lonely. But he decided to keep trying, inspired by the love he saw around him.
During the colorful festival of Diwali, Raju saw families exchanging sweets and warm embraces. Inspired, he gathered his courage and approached a little girl named Anjali, who was lighting diyas (oil lamps). Raju gently extended his arms, and Anjali smiled brightly. With a little help from her, Raju wrapped his arms around her in a perfect hug! The village erupted in cheers, celebrating the new friendship. Raju realized that hugs are a special way to share love and happiness.
From that day on, Raju practiced hugging everyone—his friends, family, even animals! He learned that a hug is more than just arms; it’s a way to show kindness and care. The villagers loved Raju’s new skill, and he became a symbol of friendship and love. Raju’s little heart was filled with joy, knowing he had learned something special. Now, whenever he saw someone in need of a smile, he gave a warm, gentle hug, spreading happiness all around.
