The Brave Archer: The Story of Arjuna

The Brave Archer: The Story of Arjuna Page 1 – The Young Prince Long ago, in the beautiful kingdom of Hastinapura, there lived five brave brothers called the Pandavas. The third brother, Arjuna, was special. He had bright eyes, a strong heart, and loved learning new things—especially how to use the bow and arrow! Page 2 – The Lesson of Focus One sunny day, their teacher, Guru Drona, wanted to test his students. He placed a wooden bird high up in a tree. “All of you must shoot the bird’s eye,” said Guru Drona. The brothers took turns aiming. When it was Arjuna’s turn, the Guru asked, “What do you see, Arjuna?” Arjuna said, “I see only the bird’s eye, Guru. Nothing else.” Guru Drona smiled. “Then shoot!” Arjuna released the arrow—whizz!—and it hit right on target! Page 3 – The Secret of Success Guru Drona said, “Arjuna, you succeeded because you had focus. When we give all our attention to one goal, we can achieve anything!” The other students clapped, and Arjuna smiled shyly. He learned that day that true skill comes from concentration, not just talent. Page 4 – The Lesson of Kindness Later that day, Arjuna saw a small squirrel trying to cross the path while everyone was practicing archery. He stopped his practice and gently carried the squirrel to safety. When Guru Drona saw this, he said, “You have a brave heart, Arjuna—but also a kind one. Strength means little without kindness.” Arjuna bowed. He realized that being a hero was not just about fighting—it was about helping others too. Page 5 – The Lesson That night, under the twinkling stars, Arjuna thought of all he had learned. He whispered to himself: “I will always be brave, focused, and kind.” And from that day on, he lived by those words—growing into the great warrior the world remembers. 🌟 Moral of the Story: Be like Arjuna — brave in heart, focused in mind, and kind in action. When you do your best and help others along the way, you become a true hero!
