Past simple

Once upon a time, in a small village there lived an old lady.

She was very old, with silver hair and a face full of gentle wrinkles.

But her eyes, they were bright and full of kindness.

Everyone in the village loved her because she was always happy, even when life was hard.

She lived alone in a little house near the big banyan tree.

She had no children and her husband had passed away.

She would sit under the tree, talk to people and always, always smile.

Sometimes the rain didn't come and the crops dried up.

Sometimes people fell ill and couldn't go to work.

Life was not easy and and many villagers were often sad or worried.

One day a young woman named Radha came to her.

Radha was crying, her face full of worry.

My husband has gone to the city to find work, but he has not sent any money.

The old lady looked at Radha and smiled softly.

Radha wiped her tears and said, I don't know.

Radha, when we think bad thoughts, we feel worse.

But if we think good thoughts, we feel better.

Radha asked, but how can I think good thoughts when everything is so bad?

She smiled again and said, let me tell you a story.

The old lady began, once there was a poor man who had nothing.

An old woman came to him and asked, why are you crying?

The old woman smiled and said, you have the river, you have the trees.

If you think about what you don't have, you will always be sad.

But if you think about what you do have, you will find peace.

The man listened and slowly he stopped crying.

He began to see the good things around him.

And from that day, his life began to change.

The old lady looked at Radhas and said, you see, my dear?

The man's life did not change because of magic.

It changed because he changed his thinking.

When we think positive, our heart feels lighter and we can face problems better.

Radha thought about the story and said, will my thinking really change my life.

If you wake up every morning and tell yourself today will be a good day, you will find the strength to work, to care for your children and to wait for your husband with hope.

But if you only think about what might go wrong, you will feel sad and weak.

I will try to think good thoughts from now.

That's the first step, my child, she said.

Radha left the old lady's house with a lighter heart.

She woke up and said to herself, today will be a good day.

She worked hard, took care of her children and prayed for her husband's return.

After a few weeks, Radha received a letter from her husband.

He had found a job in the city and was sending money back home.

She ran to the old lady's house to share the news.

You see, my dear, when we think positive, we invite good things into our life.

Problems will always come, but if we face them with a hopeful heart, we can overcome them.

Soon, other villagers began to hear about the old lady's wise words.

Many people came to her and shared their problems.

The villagers loved her even more because her words had changed their lives.

She had taught them the power of positive thinking.
