Lesson For the Liitle Boy Tui

Tui was a little boy, With a heart full of joy. He loved to play and explore, And learn about the world more. One day, his parents said, “It’s time to learn,” and sent him ahead. To a wise old man in the forest, Who taught him lessons that were the best. He learned how to read and write, And how to count and do math right. He learned how to be kind and fair, And how to show others that he cared. But the most important lesson he learned, Was about life and how it turned. The old man showed him a flower so rare, That bloomed once a year with beauty so fair. “This flower is like life,” said the old man. “It’s precious and beautiful, but it has a plan. It blooms for only a short while, So enjoy every moment with a smile.” Tui listened carefully to the old man’s words, And knew that they were wise like birds. He went back every year to see the flower bloom, And remembered the lesson that filled his room. From that day on, Tui lived his life with joy, And shared his lessons with every girl and boy. He knew that life was precious and rare, And he enjoyed every moment with care
