One day in the ashram, the teacher gave all the children a strange test. “Children” Donate any one of the things you have to others.
“Please donate and let us know who donated the valuable donation tomorrow?” he said.
The next day, Kutil and Mayal came very excited. Kutil gave Crooked and broken toys to a poor boy, took a picture.   “Look, Aryan! What a great donation I am giving! I will show these photos to everyone in the school. This will give me a good name; even teachers will appreciate it,” he said arrogantly. Mother herself also shows the old clothes to everyone and says, “What a good job you are doing, everyone.” 
At the same time, Aryan and Prajna remained very quiet. Aryan went to the poor student's home, gave him new books, and returned without anyone noticing. 
Pragya, on her own initiative, bought the necessary medicines for a girl and helped her. He did not tell anyone, at least not even to his teacher.
In the evening, everyone went to see their Guru – teacher. Kutil praised the donation he made. Maya also said this proudly about herself. Then the teacher turned towards Aryan and Prajna, “Aryan, Prajna! What have you done?”  Aryan said politely, “Dear Teacher! We have done our duty.”
Then the teacher called all the children together and said this. “Donating is a great thing. But how we donate matters more. Lord Krishna has taught this thing to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita,” says this verse.
Verse: दातव्यमिति यद्दान दीयतेఽनुपकारिने. 
देशे काले च पत्रे च तद्ददान सात्त्विकू स्मृतम् 17-20.
“Charity given without any expectation of return, viewed as a duty, offered at the right place and right time, to a deserving recipient is considered Sattvik in nature.” 
Then the teacher explained this. “I consider it my duty to donate. I should give it to those who cannot help me back. Right to be given at the right place, at the right time, to the person who really needs it. without expecting any reward. Those who donate are virtuous. But children! Sometimes, some people in the world are selfish. Also, they use it for their own purposes. Attract people by giving them more money and goods. That is not a real gift; it is a Transaction only. Our religious donations will be different. Even if we don't get any benefit, even if one does not expect a name, a donation that reduces the suffering of others is a real donation.”
After hearing the teacher's words, Kutil and Maya realized their mistake. After taking photographs, he realized that the donation made in his name was not genuine. From now on, Aryan resolved to help selflessly like Prajna.
Teacher tasks
Discussion after the story: 
Why is Kutil donation not a virtuous donation? 
Answer: For the sake of the name, Kutil donated to have photos taken. He gave the poor boy old things. Therefore, it is not a selfless donation.
Aryan, why is the donation made by the wise so great? 
Answer: He helped those who were truly in need, without expecting any fame or reward.

What is virtuous charity? 
Answer: A donation to the right person at the right time, without expecting any return.

This week, the children really need the one useful thing they have. The person should donate silently. You should not tell others about what you have donated.
