The Festival of Lights
तिहारको बत्ती
Two siblings learn the true meaning of Tihar by sharing their light with a neighbor.
यो तिहारको समय थियो। सरिता र उनको भाइ आफ्नो घर दियोले सजाउन व्यस्त थिए।
It was Tihar, the festival of lights. Sarita and her brother were busy decorating their house with oil lamps.
तिनीहरूको छिमेकी, एउटा बूढी आमै, अँध्यारोमा एक्लै बसेकी थिइन्। उनीसँग दियोको लागि तेल थिएन।
Their neighbor, an old woman, sat alone in the dark. She had no oil for her lamps.
सरिताले यो देखिन् र भाइलाई सुस्तरी भनिन्। तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आधा दियोहरू लिए र बूढी आमैको घरमा राखिदिए।
Sarita saw this and whispered to her brother. They took half of their lamps and placed them in the old woman's house.
बूढी आमै मुस्कुराइन्, र उनको घर चम्किलो भयो। सरितालाई लाग्यो कि त्यो रात उनको घर अझ बढी उज्यालो देखियो।
The old woman smiled, and her house shone brightly. Sarita felt that her house looked even brighter that night.
