In sunny Meghapur, by a glittering river, stood two friends: a bright Mango Tree and a gentle Neem Tree. They waved leafy arms at birds, kids, and the cool breeze each day.

Mango Tree felt proud. His golden fruits glowed like tiny suns. Villagers cheered, 'Yum, sweet mangoes!' Hearing this praise, Mango Tree puffed up his branches even taller.

Beside him, Neem Tree listened quietly. Her little bitter leaves were not praised, yet she stayed kind, giving cool shade and soft rustling songs to anyone who rested nearby.

One day Mango Tree teased, 'Neem, who likes bitter leaves?' Neem giggled, 'Sweet friend, we all help in different ways. My sharp-tasting leaves can heal sore tummies and fevers.'

Hot summer arrived. Families crowded under Mango Tree. They gobbled juicy fruit, laughed, and tried to forget the blazing sun while enjoying the sugary treats.

Soon bellies ached. Children moaned, grown-ups fanned sweaty faces. Mango Tree drooped, worried. His sweetness was no help now, and he did not know what to do.

Grandma Sumithra called, 'Quick, pick Neem leaves! Boil them for medicine.' Hope sparkled. People hurried to Neem, who gladly let her healing leaves be gathered.

Mango Tree whispered, 'Neem, I was silly. Sweetness alone isn't enough. Your gift saved everyone.' Neem replied, 'We shine brighter when we share our different strengths.'
