In a small riverside village, there lived a boy named Arya. He didn’t have much no toys, no gadgets but he had a big imagination and a kind heart. Every afternoon after school, Arya would sit by the river and fold paper boats out of old newspapers.

He would write little messages on them like:

“You are stronger than you think.”
“Keep going, brighter days are ahead.”
“You matter.”

Then, he’d gently place the boats on the river and watch them float away.

People thought it was just a child’s game. But weeks later, something unexpected happened.

A fisherman from a nearby town came looking for Arya. With teary eyes, he said, “One evening, I was tired… hopeless… and I saw your boat by the shore. The message on it ‘Don’t give up, the world still needs you’ saved my life.”

Word spread. More people came. A woman found a boat when she was grieving her mother. A young man read one before deciding not to quit college. Those tiny boats, born from scraps and kindness, were changing lives.

Arya never asked for thanks. He just kept folding, kept floating, kept believing.

Years later, when Arya became a writer, he said in an interview:

“Sometimes, a small message in a small boat can reach hearts that feel like sinking ships.”
