The Determined Boy

There once was a boy named Sam. He lived in a small village and was very poor. Sam loved going to school and studying, but he didn't have proper resources like books and pencils.

Even though Sam didn't have books, he would borrow them from his friends and read them late into the night. He would write his homework on old scrap papers and use sticks to draw pictures.

Sam's determination to learn made him stand out in class. He always raised his hand and answered questions correctly. The other students admired him for his hard work.
