But he never showed his sketches to anyone, fearing they weren’t good enough. While others played in the fields, Amir would sit under an old banyan tree, his notebook filled with imaginary worlds.One day, the village elder announced a festival with a drawing competition. Amir’s best friend, Zayan, secretly took one of Amir’s drawings and entered it. When the day of the festival arrived, Amir was shocked to see his artwork displayed for all to see.The crowd gathered, amazed by the detail and imagination in the piece. “Who made this?” the elder asked. Zayan pointed at Amir, who stood frozen with fear. Slowly, the crowd began to cheer, recognizing his hidden talent.From that day on, Amir no longer hid his drawings. He became the village’s artist, transforming its walls and streets into vibrant masterpieces. His fear melted away, replaced by the joy of sharing his gift with the world.---
