Ek purana gaon tha jahan ek boodha aadmi rehta tha. Uske paas ek jaadui ghadi thi jo waqt nahi, balki khushiyon ke pal dikhati thi. Jab bhi koi dukhi hota, wo usse wo ghadi dikhata. Ek din ek bacha uske paas aaya aur pucha, "Kya main apna kal dekh sakta hoon?" Boodhe ne muskura kar kaha, "Kal ki chinta mein aaj ki muskurahat mat kho dena." Bachon ko samajh aaya ki asli jaadu ghadi mein nahi, balki maujooda pal ko jeene mein hai. Wo din us gaon ka sabse khushnuma din ban gaya.
