The Boy Who Dreamed of Light

Ravi lived in a small town where electricity was a visitor, not a resident. Every evening, just when he sat to study or his mother cooked dinner, the lights would flicker and vanish into darkness. The hum of fans, the glow of bulbs, even the laughter of television—all stolen by constant power cuts.

One night, tired of the routine, Ravi fell asleep with his books still open. He dreamt of a world where every home in his locality shone bright with light. In his dream, he built a giant machine powered by the sun, storing energy that never faded. The streets sparkled, children studied without interruption, and families gathered without worry. The entire town celebrated him as the boy who brought light.

When Ravi woke up, the darkness was still there, but his heart glowed with determination. He told himself, “One day, I will learn how to make this dream real.” That morning, he began asking questions, reading about solar power and inventions. His dream was no longer just a fantasy—it had become his goal.

The power cuts continued, but Ravi’s spirit did not. Each blackout reminded him of his purpose: to bring constant light not only to his home, but to every corner of his town.

Moral: Even the smallest dream can spark the biggest change. What begins as frustration can turn into innovation when hope fuels determination.
