## 🌸 Beautiful Poem
**Dawn's Promise**
Morning light breaks through the mist,
A gentle reminder that we exist
In moments precious, fleeting, true—
Each sunrise brings the world anew.
The birds sing melodies of hope,
While dewdrops on the flowers cope
With night's departure, day's embrace,
As golden rays illuminate space.
In this quiet hour before the rush,
When earth awakens with a hush,
We find the peace that makes us whole,
The light that brightens every soul.

## 📚 Moral Story: The Wise Merchant's Scales
A young merchant inherited his grandfather's shop along with an old, worn set of scales. Eager to maximize profits, he adjusted the scales to favor his side during transactions.
Business boomed initially, but soon customers began to notice discrepancies. Word spread about his dishonest practices, and gradually, his shop emptied. Desperate, he sought advice from the village elder.
"Your grandfather built this business on trust," the elder said. "He may have earned less per transaction, but he earned customers for life. A single act of dishonesty can destroy decades of reputation."
The merchant realized his mistake, fixed his scales, and spent months rebuilding trust through fair dealings and honest service. Though it took time, his business eventually flourished again—this time built on integrity.
**Moral:** Honesty and integrity are the foundations of lasting success. Short-term gains achieved through deception will always crumble, but trust, once rebuilt, creates enduring prosperity.
