Rjun loved video games more than anything. Every time a new game was released, he begged his parents until they bought it for him. His shelves were stacked high with colourful boxes and shiny discs.

But Arjun never finished any of them. He would play for a few days, then get bored and chase the next new release. “I have more games than anyone in school!” he boasted.

Meanwhile, his little sister, Meera, had only one old game. She played it with patience, learning every level, mastering every skill. She became so good that her friends admired her and even teachers praised her clever strategies.

One afternoon, Arjun watched Meera win a school gaming contest. He felt a pinch of envy. All his expensive games had never brought him such success or joy.

That evening, he looked at his pile of unopened boxes and sighed. “Owning many games means nothing,” he whispered. “It’s how you play that counts.”

From that day, Arjun decided to finish the games he had before asking for new ones. Slowly, he began to enjoy them more—just like Meera.

Moral: It’s better to use what you have fully than chase endless new things.
