Ravi lived with his parents and younger sister in a small rented house in a busy town. His father worked as a clerk in a private office, and his mother was a homemaker. Their income was limited, but their love for each other was unlimited.
Every morning, Ravi's father woke up early to catch the crowded bus to work. His mother prepared simple breakfast and packed lunch for everyone. Ravi and his sister went to a government school nearby. Their uniforms were old but clean, and their books were carefully covered.
Life was not easy. They had to think many times before spending money. New clothes came only during festivals. Eating at a restaurant was a rare treat. But their home was always full of warmth, laughter, and care.
In the evening, the family sat together for tea. They shared stories of their day. Ravi's father encouraged his children to study hard and become good human beings. His mother taught them the values of honesty, respect, and kindness.
Sometimes, problems came — illness, school fees, or unexpected expenses. Yet, they never lost hope. They faced every difficulty together with patience and courage.
Though they did not have big houses or expensive things, they had something precious — a happy and loving family. And that made their life truly rich.
