Sunhera Village
1. Once, in a distant valley surrounded by golden wheat fields and misty blue mountains, there was a small village called Sunhera. The village was known for its kind-hearted people and a sacred well in the center. It was believed that whoever made a promise near the well had to fulfill it, or else the well’s water would dry up.

The Poor Farmer and His Son In that village lived a poor farmer named Raghunath and his young son, Aarav. Raghunath was a hardworking man but struggled to make ends meet. Every day, he worked in the fields from sunrise to sunset, hoping for a better future for Aarav. A tired farmer with his son standing near a small hut, looking at their dry field with hope.

The Merchant’s Deal One evening, a rich merchant from a nearby town visited the village. He offered Raghunath a deal—he would give him a bag of gold if he agreed to send Aarav to work at his mansion. The merchant promised that Aarav would have good food and a better life. Tempted by the offer, Raghunath hesitated but then made a promise at the well: “If this gold helps us, I shall return the favor to someone in need.” : A rich merchant handing a bag of gold to a poor farmer while the boy looks scared.
The Broken Promise With the gold, Raghunath bought fertile land and new tools. Over the years, he became the wealthiest man in Sunhera. But in his success, he forgot about his promise. The well’s water, once crystal-clear, started turning muddy, and soon it dried up completely. The villagers were worried but didn’t know the reason.

Aarav’s Return After years of hardship, Aarav returned as a grown man. He had worked tirelessly in the merchant’s house and learned a lot about life. Seeing the dried-up well, he asked his father if he had broken a promise. Raghunath, embarrassed, finally confessed.

Fulfilling the Promise Aarav reminded his father that promises should never be broken. He gathered the villagers and proposed a way to fix the well. The next day, Raghunath used his wealth to build a new irrigation system and dug deep into the ground to restore the water. He also helped poor farmers, just as he was once helped.
