In a quiet village lived two farmers. One, Raghav, owned shiny tractors, tall machines, and fancy tools. Every morning, he boasted, “Look at my equipment! My harvest will be the greatest.” His neighbour, Hari, had only a simple plough, a pair of oxen, and his own two hands. He never bragged; he just worked steadily.

Raghav often spent more time polishing his machines and showing them off than actually working in his fields. Hari, on the other hand, bent his back under the sun, watering, weeding, and caring for his crops with patience.

When harvest season arrived, Raghav’s field looked thin and empty. His machines had broken down during planting, and he had neglected to tend his crops properly. Hari’s field, however, shone golden with grain. The villagers admired his success.

Raghav lowered his head in shame. “Perhaps tools don’t matter if you don’t put in the effort,” he admitted. Hari smiled kindly. “Machines help, but nothing grows without hard work.”

Moral: Tools don’t matter as much as effort.
