In the heart of the jungle, the friendship between भालू and खरगोश was known far and wide. भालू was a large, plump bear, content to laze about, while खरगोश was small, swift, and ever so clever.

One pleasant morning, as the sun's rays filtered through the canopy, भालू turned to his friend with a thought. "खरगोश भाई, मुझे रोज खाने की चिंता रहती है।

चलो, एक खेत ढूंढते हैं और वहां की सब्ज़ियां खा लेते हैं।"

खरगोश pondered for a moment. He knew that भालू's laziness could become a problem.

Yet, with a nod, he agreed to help. Together, they ventured into a nearby field, where rows of carrots, radishes, and turnips stretched as far as the eye could see.

भालू eyed the bright orange carrots hungrily. "खरगोश भाई, गाजर मैं लूंगा क्योंकि वो मीठी होती है।"

खरगोश quickly replied, "ठीक है, भालू भाई, लेकिन शर्त ये है कि जो गाजर खुद उखाड़ेगा, वही खाएगा।" With determination, भालू set to work, his large paws struggling to extract the deeply rooted carrots.

Meanwhile, खरगोश expertly pulled up the tender radishes and turnips, savoring their crispness with a satisfied smile.

After multiple attempts, भालू slumped down, exhausted. "खरगोश भाई, ये गाजर बहुत ज़िद्दी है।

मूली तुम खा रहे हो, मुझे भी थोड़ी दे दो।" खरगोश chuckled softly, offering a piece of advice wrapped in a smile. "भालू भाई, मेहनत की कमाई का मज़ा ही कुछ और है।

अगली बार थोड़ा कम आलसी बनो!"

भालू realized the truth in his friend's words. "चालाक खरगोश से दोस्ती निभाना आसान नहीं।" he mused, joining खरगोश in hearty laughter.

From that day forward, भालू began to embrace hard work, with खरगोश by his side, teaching him that intelligence combined with effort leads to true success.

The pair strolled home, shadows lengthening behind them. The jungle around them buzzed with life, a fitting backdrop to their strengthened bond.

Together, they had discovered that understanding and effort were the keys to a lasting friendship. And so, भालू and खरगोश continued their adventures, wiser and closer than ever before.
