এৰচ কাঠৰ কথাত জিকিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰাৰ কাৰণে জানো তুমি ৰাজত্ব কৰি থাকিবা? তোমাৰ পিতৃয়ে জানো ভোজন-পান কৰা আৰু বিচাৰ ও ন্যায় সিদ্ধ কৰা নাছিল? তাতে তেওঁৰ মঙ্গল হৈছিল।

Explained for Children
Imagine you have a really fancy treehouse. But just having a fancy treehouse doesn't make you a good leader of your friends. What really matters is if you're fair and kind when you play together.
