The Child in the Red Sari

Once upon a time, there was a little child who was loved by two women. One wore a beautiful red sari. She said, 'He is my child, leave him alone!' The other lady looked sad.

The story takes place in a peaceful village. Two women with different colored clothes are arguing.

'No, he is my child!' cried the other lady. She wore a blue dress and had tears in her eyes. They both wanted the child.

The argument continues with the two women, one crying, and both looking upset.

The child didn't understand why the women were fighting. He just wanted to be loved. A wise old man came and listened to their story.

A wise old man arrives and talks to the two women while the child watches.

The old man said, 'Instead of fighting, let's share the love. You can both be his moms.' The child smiled and hugged them both. From that day on, they became one happy family.

The wise old man suggests a solution, the child hugs both women, and they all smile happily.
