About the writer: Prahlad Parekh

The lesson: poem (ગીત).

ગીત: આપણે ભરોસે – સરળ ભાષામાં

આપણે ભરોસે💪⛵🤝🌅
ચિત્ર: બાલ ગુજરાતી – our own illustration of the lesson.

આપણે ભરોસે આપણે હાલીએ, હો ભેરુ મારા! બીજાના આધારે નહિ, આપણી મહેનતે આગળ વધીએ.

એક મહેનતના હાથ ઝાલીએ – કિસ્મત કે બીજાના ભરોસે બેસી રહેનારની નાવ ડૂબે.

આપણું બળ, આપણી હિંમત અને આપણી મહેનત – એ જ આપણો સાચો સાથી.

બોધ – What the story teaches

Rely on your own effort – self-reliance is strength. આપણો ભરોસો આપણી મહેનત.
