Example of Shanthi

 

“You are the light of the world…” – Matthew 5:14

 

Mala, Kala and Shanthi were schoolmates as well as classmates. Among the three, Mala and Kala were thick friends and they were very naughty too. They often made fun of others and annoyed them. But Shanthi was very quiet and obedient in the class and at home. She liked to set an example to everyone. On observing her good nature, they also tried to change for the better. 

 

One day Mala’s mother called out “Mala, Mala.” There was no answer. So, carrying a bucket, she looked for her in the street and at last she reached the garden, that was near their house. There she found Mala reading a story book. On hearing her mother’s voice, she got irritated. Mala came up to her mother and asked why she was shouting like that. Mala’s mother quietly gave the bucket to her saying, “Raw rice is in the bucket. Get it ground in the flour mill.” Mala replied that she could not do it, as she had to study. Her mother retorted by saying, “Your classmate Shanthi had taken a bucket of grains to the mill.” Mala told her mother not to point out to anybody. She unwillingly went to get it ground.

 

The next day, the teacher of Maths was teaching Maths. Then she wrote a sum on the board and asked the students if anyone could come forward to work out the sum. They were hesitant. The students were looking at one another. No one had the confidence to do the sum. Shanthi prayed and went up to the board hoping that she could try her best. She began to do it. Wow! She was able to work it out correctly. The teacher appreciated her and told the students to be bold and a role model to others like Shanthi. Kala and Mala could not tolerate the compliment given to Shanthi. They were green with envy. As soon as the teacher left the classroom, they came straight to Shanthi and queried, “How is it that you earn a good name from all?” With a cheerful face Shanthi stated, “If Jesus dwells in us, we will acquire good traits. Moreover, moral values are taught in Sunday School. Won’t you come with me to the Sunday School?” Mala and Kala were ready to go there with Shanthi.

 

Little kids, will you lead an exemplary life like Shanthi?
