Many years ago, there was a young boy named Arjun who loved reading
books. He lived in a small village where there was no proper library. Still, he
would collect old books from relatives and neighbors. Every evening, after
finishing his homework, he sat under a large banyan tree and read stories of
great kings, brave warriors, and wise men.

One day, a traveler passed through the village and noticed Arjun reading
with great interest. The traveler was impressed and gifted him a set of
storybooks. Arjun was overjoyed and decided to share those books with other
children. Slowly, many children joined him under the banyan tree. It became
a place where they not only read stories but also discussed them.

As time passed, Arjun grew up and became a teacher. He built a small library
