One Sunday morning, Akkin, Nikku, and Anu were playing outside when Grandma called,
“Kids! Come help me in the garden.”
They ran over. “What are we doing, Grandma?” Anu asked.
Grandma smiled. “Planting seeds! But not just any seeds… these are habit seeds.”
Nikku laughed. “Habit seeds?”
“Yes,” Grandma said. “Every good habit you grow becomes a strong tree in your life.”
They each got a seed and a pot.
“Akkin,” said Grandma, “what habit will you plant?”
“I’ll wake up early every day,” said Akkin.
“Nikku?” she asked.
“I’ll keep my room clean!”
“Anu?”
“I’ll say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ to everyone.”
The kids carefully planted their seeds. Grandma explained,
“Water them with effort. Sunlight is your smile. And patience is your soil.”
Weeks passed. The kids followed their good habits every day. One morning, they ran to the garden and saw tiny green sprouts.
“Look! Our habits are growing!” Anu shouted.
Grandma hugged them. “And so are you.”
