Once upon a time, in the far East, there was a magical land surrounded by hills. Its enchantment came from the farmers, who lived in harmony with the earth and rejoiced in the gifts of its fertile soil. Among them was Xarala, a wise young farmer renowned for her thriving, diverse farm.

On Xarala’s farm, every element played a role. Her cattle nourished the land, her bees pollinated the flowers, her ponds brimmed with fish, her paddy swayed in the breeze, and her tea bushes thrived on the hills. Each morning, Xarala walked her fields, listening to the silence of her crops and animals. She didn’t need words. They spoke, and she understood.

One summer morning, Xarala noticed an unusual stillness. The crops and animals seemed gloomy. Leaves grew but lacked their usual sheen, flowers drooped, and even the bees buzzed half-heartedly. Villagers soon approached her, reporting the same malaise across the valley. Determined to understand the problem, Xarala listened carefully to each part of her farm, her flowers, cattle, fish, and finally, her tea bushes.

As the villagers gathered around her awaiting a response, she smiled and said, “They wish to be celebrated! Every plant and animal works tirelessly to provide for us. They ask for gratitude: a simple celebration of their efforts.”

The villagers agreed wholeheartedly. They sang, danced, and filled the valley with laughter and joy. The plants grew brighter, the animals livelier, and the valley thrived as never before.

And so, Xarala taught her people an enduring lesson: the everyday deserves celebration. Even the smallest efforts often go unnoticed, yet they hold our lives together. Gratitude makes the ordinary extraordinary.
