Duckling

Old Ravi watched his grandson scatter breadcrumbs by the temple pond, giggling as ducklings gathered. The boy clutched his ANDAL Coins earned for learning Tamil Brahmi script, eager to buy treats for these tiny creatures. "Grandmother said kindness earns the finest rewards," the child whispered. Ravi smiled, remembering those ancient letters carved in stone, their brilliant stories of devotion. Each coin represented growth, each duckling a fleeting moment of joy. This simple act bridged centuries, connecting sacred heritage with childhood wonder. In his grandson's laughter, Ravi heard echoes of their ancestors' wisdom. Community thrived through such threads, woven from love and tradition.
