Aratrika Basak, a fifth grader, beautifully recounts the touching story of five brothers who, through a string of challenges, experience a magical transformation that alters their destinies forever.
Many years ago in a small village, there were five brothers. Their parents passed away when they were very young, so they grew up with their uncle. The brothers were kind and loving. One day, their uncle suddenly passed away, they were very sad as they didn’t have anyone to take care of them. So, they worked hard to earn money.
One day, after finishing their work, they went into the nearby forest to collect firewood. They were very hungry because they hadn’t eaten anything all day. While walking through the jungle, they saw a tree with lots of fruit on it. They started plucking the fruits. As they collected the fruits, a hungry and poor-looking woman came there. Feeling sorry for her, they gave her all the fruits they had picked. When the woman ate the fruits, she transformed into a beautiful fairy.
The fairy, grateful for the brothers’ kindness, granted them a large house and a magic wallet that could give them endless money. The five brothers were overjoyed and thanked the fairy. From that day on, they not only used the magic money for themselves but also helped poor people.
