Vilasbhai went to meet his friend Suhas at his place. Suhas's house was perfectly decorated. The way the newly married bride wears ornaments, in the same way, Suhas's house was gloomy with decorative pieces. Vilasbhai was extremely pleased with his house. He said, "Suhas, your house seems to be heaven. Your house is much beautiful. The tiredness of full-day flew away as soon as I entered your house." Pleased by the appreciation, Suhas started showing every corner of the house to Vilasbhai. Even Vilasbhai was keen to know about the construction and decorations of the house. Now they were in the room on the Upper floor. There Suhas's daughter was playing near an ancient flower vase. Seeing her playing in this manner, Suhas started cussing her. He shouted, "What the heck you're doing here? I have told you numerous times that stay away from the statues and vases. Do you know how precious they are? 

 Suddenly seeing Suhas, his daughter Drashti was frightened.

 Vilasbhai spared a glance all over the house. The whole house was accommodated with vases in every corner and statues on every wall. If that girl has to stay away from them then she needs to go out of the house. Now the house which was seeming heaven a few moments ago was feeling like a prison to Vilasbhai.

 Suhas was busy in scolding. "Dumb. I have told you many times, but still, you're doing it."

 Suhas slapped her in anger. Drashti started crying and ran to her mother. Suhas went to Vilasbhai and said, "Come, I'll show you my house."

 Vilasbhai said, "Enough Suhas. I'm done seeing your house."

 Suhas said, "What happened Vilasbhai? Any problem in the house?"

 Vilasbhai said, "Suhas, you're telling this place decorated with artificial things is a house? Is your daughter Drashti happy in this house? You're loving artificial things instead of living beings. The statue made by an artist has worth to you, but a body made by God, your Drashti seems dumb and foolish to you."

 Suhas said, "You're here just for a single day that's why you're saying this. If you will stay here for a few more days then you will understand that this Drashti is too mischievous, and in their studies she is dumb. I'm done with this foolish girl."

 Vilasbhai said peacefully, "Suhas, you use these words Dumb, foolish in front of her?"

 Suhas said in anger, "Yes friend. Not once but hundreds of times in a day I use it. I have to say dumb to a dumb. Do you think I need to say that my daughter is clever? There is no other girl like my daughter in the whole world. Should I say that?"

 Vilasbhai said, "Yeah, Exactly. You have to say that. Keep the kids happy, and make them learn how to win."

 Suhas, "What?"

 Vilasbhai said, "Let me tell you a story. A student came back to his home from school. Not well in their studies, such a guy he was. He gave a letter to his mother and said, "Mom, my principal gave me this letter and told me to give it only to you." With the eagerness to know about that what was written in the letter, Mother opened the letter and tears started rolling down as she read it. That guy asked her mother, "Mom, what's written in the letter?"

 His Mother wiped off her tears and said, "Your Principal said that your lad is extremely genius and we can't handle him. Our school is too small to teach him. So it would be better if you enroll him in some good school."

 "As time passed that guy became a great scientist. His Mother passed away. One day he was cleaning his mother's room, and he discovered that letter was kept properly in the drawer. With eagerness he opened the letter, in it was written, "Your son isn't good at studies. Even though we teach him many times, he never understood. We are bothered about the image of our school so we are canceling his admission. You kindly find another school for him." tears were there in eyes of that scientist. That night he noted in his diary, "Making a great scientist from a dumb guy was her genius mother - Thomas Alva Edison"

 After some time Vilasbhai said, "That's why I'm saying that never address the kids with words like dumb and foolish. Try to discover his strength. Everyone here is for a purpose, no one is born without a reason to live. And if you can't figure out that reason then you're foolish and not that kid. The more the Times you speak, the more you leave a sign on her soft heart. The more you beat them, every time their soul dies. Keep in mind, broken things may get the stick, but the broken heart can't. The way the thread gets joined after breaking, in the same manner, relations get worse. She is a kid think of her as a kid. Be a kid with the kid, and you will feel that the kid is more intelligent than you."

 And yeah, instead of loving artificial things, you better love living beings in your home. The day you remove this artificial show-off from your home, call me that day, and I'll come to see your house that day."

 And saying this Vilasbhai departed from there. Drashti was crying in the room. Suhas went to the vase where Drashti was playing and made sure that it was broken or not.
