The Secret of the Coconut

On a beautiful tropical island, there stood a tall coconut tree named Lulu. Lulu wasn’t like other trees—she held a special secret inside her fruit.

The village children loved to climb trees and pick fruit, but they always found coconuts hard to crack. Every time they’d say, “Why is the coconut so tough?”

One day, a clever boy named Malik came to the tree and asked,

“Dear Lulu, why do you hide water inside such a hard shell?”

The tree whispered through her leaves,

“Because precious things need protection. Coconut water is refreshing and full of goodness—I want it to reach only those who are patient and wise.”

Malik understood the message, and he taught his friends that patience and effort are the keys to finding good things.
