Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a rope maker. Every day, he twisted small cotton strings into strong ropes. Even though he worked very hard, he earned very little money. He was very poor and struggled to feed his family.
He had two friends who were much richer than him. They felt sad seeing their friend work so hard but still be poor. They decided to help him. "We are giving you a hundred gold coins," they said one day. "Use this money to buy a shop. Work hard, and you will become successful. We will return in six months to see how you are doing."
The rope maker felt both happy and worried holding the gold coins. He had never had so much money and didn't know what to do with it. He watched his two sons playing outside and had an idea—he decided to treat his children first. He spent ten gold coins on new clothes and sweets for them.
He was worried about keeping the rest of the money safe, so he hid ninety gold coins in his turban and wore it on his head.
As he walked home, thinking about which shop to buy, a large bird saw the box of sweets he was carrying. The bird tried to grab the sweets but couldn't, so it went for his turban instead. In a moment, the bird flew away with the turban and the gold coins inside.
The rope maker shouted for help, "Catch that bird!" But the people nearby, not knowing about the gold in the turban, only laughed. He lost all the money his friends had given him and remained poor.
Six months passed, and he continued to make ropes. When his friends returned, they were sad to see that he hadn't become successful. "It seems our gift did not help you become rich," they said. "This time, we will give you something that seems useless—a piece of lead."
His neighbor was a fisherman. One evening, the fisherman came to him, needing a piece of lead for his fishing net. The rope maker happily gave him the lead. The fisherman promised, "I'll give you the first fish I catch tomorrow morning."
The next day, the fisherman brought him a big fish. When he cut it open, he found a shining diamond inside! He sold the diamond and used the money to buy a silk shop. He worked hard and over time, he became a rich and respected merchant.
When his friends visited six months later, they were happy to see him doing well. They were amazed at how a simple piece of lead had changed his luck and helped him become rich and happy.

There is a man. He lives in a small village. He makes ropes. Every day, he twists small strings into strong ropes. He works very hard, but he does not make much money. He is poor.
He has two friends. They are rich. They want to help him. One day, they give him a gift. "Here is some money. Use this money to start a shop. We will come back in six months."
The man is happy but also worried. He has never had so much money. He thinks, "What should I do?" He looks at his two sons playing outside. He wants to make them happy first. He buys new clothes and sweets for them with some of the money. Then, he hides the rest of the money in his hat.
He walks home with the money in his hat. A big bird sees the sweets. The bird tries to take the sweets, but it cannot take them. Then, it takes his hat. The bird flies away with the hat and the money inside.
The man shouts, "Help! Catch that bird!" But no one helps him. They do not know about the money. The man loses all his money. He is still poor.
Six months pass. The man still makes ropes. His friends come back. They are sad. "The money did not help you," they say. They give him a piece of lead. "It looks useless, but keep it."
The man's neighbor is a fisherman. The fisherman needs a lead for his net. The man gives him the lead. The fisherman says, "I will give you the first fish I catch tomorrow."
The next day, the fisherman gives him a big fish. The man cuts open the fish. Inside the fish, he finds a diamond! He sells the diamond and buys a shop. He works hard and becomes rich.
Six months later, his friends came back. They are happy. The man is now rich and happy.

Once upon a time, in a tiny village that was so small even the mice had to queue for space, there lived a rope maker. Every day, he twisted tiny cotton strings into strong ropes. He worked really hard, but the only thing he made a lot of was sweat. He barely made enough money to buy a cup of tea and a biscuit, let alone feed his family properly.
The rope maker had two friends who were much richer than him. They lived in fancy houses and always smelled like roses and success. Seeing their friend work so hard but still be poor made them sad. One day, they decided to help him. "We are giving you a hundred gold coins," they said. "Use this money to buy a shop. Work as hard as you always do, and you will become successful. We will return in six months to see how you are doing."
Holding the gold coins, he felt both excited and worried. He had never had so much money, and it felt like holding a very delicate chocolate cake. "What if I drop it?" he wondered. As he thought about what to do, he watched his two sons playing outside. Suddenly, he had an idea—he decided to first treat his children. With ten of the gold coins, he went to the market and bought beautiful new clothes and a box of delicious sweets for them. "Let's give them a sugar rush," he said with a grin.
Worried about keeping the rest of the money safe, he hid ninety gold coins in his turban, a cloth headwrap, and wore it on his head. "No one would think to look here!" he chuckled to himself.
After buying the clothes and sweets, he started to walk back home, thinking about which kind of shop to buy. But he was so lost in his thoughts, imagining a grand rope shop with a flashy neon sign that said "Ropes R Us," that he didn't notice a large bird flying above, eyeing the box of sweets. Suddenly, the bird swooped down. "Ack! Get away, you feathered bandit!" he yelled, clutching the box tightly. But the bird, probably thinking it was starring in some kind of bird superhero movie, grabbed his turban instead. In a moment, the turban—and the gold coins inside—were pulled off his head.
The bird flew away with the turban, and he shouted for help, "Catch that bird! It's flying away with my hat, and also, my life savings!" But the people nearby, not knowing about the gold in the turban, only laughed. One villager even said, "Nice hat trick!"
Sadly, he lost all the money his friends had given him and could not buy a shop. He was poor again. He looked at his sons, now covered in candy wrappers, and sighed, "Well, at least we have sweets."
Six months passed, and he continued to make ropes. When his friends returned, they were sad to see that he hadn't become successful. "It seems our gift did not help you become rich," they said, feeling upset and sorry for him. "This time, we will give you something that seems useless—a piece of lead."
The rope maker stared at the lead and then said, "Well, it’s not gold, but at least it won’t fly away!" His friends chuckled and wished him luck.
His neighbor was a fisherman who had a peculiar sense of humor. One evening, the fisherman came to him, needing a piece of lead to weigh down his fishing net. He happily gave him the lead, joking, "Here you go, don’t go sinking my hopes with it!" In return, the fisherman promised, "I'll give you the first fish I catch tomorrow morning. Unless it's a mermaid; then we negotiate."
The next day, the fisherman brought him a big fish. The rope maker looked at the fish and said, "Well, hello dinner!" When he cut it open, he was amazed to find a sparkling diamond inside! He held it up and said, "This is fish-tastic!" He sold the diamond and used the money to buy a silk shop. He worked hard and over time, he became a rich and respected merchant.
When his friends visited six months later, they were happy to see him doing so well. One friend joked, "Wow, a piece of lead turned into a diamond! What's next, turning water into chocolate?"
They were amazed at how a simple piece of lead had changed his luck and helped him find wealth and happiness at last. The rope maker smiled and said, "Sometimes, it's not the gift but what you do with it that matters." And everyone laughed, knowing it was true.
In a village small, lived a rope maker fine,
He twisted cotton strings, his work so divine.
Day by day he toiled, but earned just a bit,
Providing for his family, it was hard to fit.
Two friends he had, who were richer by far,
They saw his struggle and thought, "This is bizarre."
"We'll help you out," they said one bright day,
And gave him gold coins, a hundred to sway.
"Buy a shop, work hard like you always do,
We'll come back in six months to see what's new."
With gold in hand, he felt both joy and fear,
He'd never had so much, the way was unclear.
He watched his two sons play outside with glee,
"I'll treat them first," he thought happily.
Ten coins he spent on clothes and sweet treats,
The rest he hid in his turban, for future feats.
As he walked home, deep in thought of his shop,
A bird swooped down, making his heart stop.
It grabbed his turban, gold coins and all,
He shouted for help, but no one heard his call.
The bird flew away, his wealth out of sight,
He was poor once more by the fall of night.
Six months passed, he still made ropes each day,
His friends returned, saw him in dismay.
"Our gift did not help, you're still so poor,"
They gave him a lead piece, nothing more.
A fisherman neighbor needed it for his net,
The rope maker gave it, with no regret.
The fisherman promised, "The first fish I'll share,"
Next morning, he brought a catch with care.
Inside the fish, a diamond so bright,
He sold it and bought a shop overnight.
Now a silk merchant, wealthy and proud,
His friends came back and cheered aloud.
A simple piece of lead, turned his luck around,
Wealth and happiness, at last, he found.
Turned around to form a rope.
Achieving what you wanted or hoped for.
Tried very hard to do something difficult.
Received money in return for work.
Headwear made by winding cloth around the head.
Take hold of something quickly and firmly.
A person living next to or near another person.
A person who buys and sells goods.
Heavy metal often used for weights or fishing.
Admired and considered important by others.
A very small town where people live.
Turns something around and around.
Thin pieces of thread or cord.
Something given to someone without payment.
Feeling nervous or anxious about something.
Puts something where it cannot be seen.
Speaks very loudly to be heard.
A heavy, gray metal used in fishing nets.
A person who catches fish for work.
A very hard, valuable stone used in jewelry.
Turned around to form a rope.
Achieving what you wanted or hoped for.
Tried very hard to do something difficult.
Received money in return for work.
Headwear made by winding cloth around the head.
Take hold of something quickly and firmly.
A person living next to or near another person.
A person who buys and sells goods.
Heavy metal often used for weights or fishing.
Admired and considered important by others.
Where does the man live?
What does the man do every day?
What do the man's rich friends give him?
What happens to the money the man hides in his hat?
What does the man find inside the fish?
