[Story]
As the great boat floated gently on the river, two friends chatted about their favorite habitats. One of them, a cheat by nature, tried to defeat the other in the conversation. However, the second friend, who had a habit of repeating himself, treated the first friend’s words with skepticism. Despite the first friend’s attempts to eat away at the second friend’s trust, the second friend remained steadfast in his beliefs. In the end, the second friend’s great habit of treating others with kindness and respect led to his victory in the conversation.
