ચિત્ર: બાલ ગુજરાતી – our own illustration of the lesson.

હલેસે હલેસે હલેસાય દરિયો – દરેક હલેસે દરિયો જાણે ડોલે છે.

ક્યારેક ઊછળે, ક્યારેક શાંત થાય, ક્યારેક જહાજોને ઘસડી જાય – દરિયાનાં કેટલાં રૂપ!

કવિ પ્રાસ અને અવાજથી દરિયાનું જીવંત ચિત્ર આપે છે – મહેનતથી જ નાવ આગળ વધે.

બોધ – What the story teaches

Stroke by stroke, steady effort moves the boat forward. હલેસે હલેસે આગળ વધીએ.
