The festival of Holi had finally arrived. The streets were filled with music, laughter, and colorful powders flying everywhere. Children were running around happily with water balloons and pichkaris.
In the middle of all the excitement was a boy named Arjun. He loved playing Holi with his friends every year. This time he had bought many bright colors and couldn't wait to start the celebration.
As Arjun and his friends were running through the streets, he suddenly noticed a small boy standing near a corner. The boy was watching everyone play but looked too shy to join them.
Arjun walked over and asked, "Why aren't you playing Holi with us?"
The boy quietly replied, "My name is Sameer. I'm new here, and I don't know anyone."
Arjun smiled and said, "That's okay. From today, we are your friends."
He gently placed some red gulal on Sameer's cheek and said, "Happy Holi!"
Sameer's face slowly brightened with a smile. Soon Arjun's friends came over and welcomed him too. Within minutes they were all laughing, throwing colors, and running through the streets together.
After a while they sat down to rest and shared sweets like Gujiya. Sameer looked around at his new friends and said happily, "This is the best Holi ever."
Arjun laughed and said, "Holi becomes special when everyone celebrates together."
As the sun began to set and the sky turned orange, the children walked home with colorful faces and happy hearts.
That day Arjun understood something important.
The most beautiful color of Holi is not red, blue, or green — it is the color of friendship and kindness.
