The Patient Painter
Once Upon a Time in a Small Village
In a peaceful village surrounded by green hills, there lived a young boy named Aryan. He loved to paint more than anything else. Every day, he would sit by the river, sketching the trees, the birds, and the bright blue sky. But there was one thing Aryan struggled with—patience.

Aryan’s Impatience
Aryan wanted to finish his paintings quickly. He would rush through them, often leaving them unfinished or with messy strokes. His mother always told him, “Patience is the key to making something truly beautiful, Aryan.” But he didn’t listen.
One day, the village announced an art competition. The best painting would be displayed in the town hall. Aryan was excited and quickly started painting. However, he grew impatient and finished his artwork in just one day, hoping to impress everyone.

A Wise Old Painter’s Advice
On the day of the competition, Aryan saw an old man carefully painting a sunset. The strokes were slow but graceful. “Why are you taking so long?” Aryan asked.
The old man smiled. “A great painting is like a story—it needs time, care, and patience to be truly wonderful.”
Aryan looked at his painting, which now seemed rushed and dull compared to the old man’s. For the first time, he realized the importance of patience.

Aryan’s New Approach
Determined to improve, Aryan started a new painting. This time, he worked slowly, adding details carefully. He mixed colors properly, took breaks, and returned to his work with fresh eyes. He painted a breathtaking picture of the village at dawn.
When the competition results were announced, Aryan’s painting won first place! The villagers admired his work, and even the old painter nodded in approval.
