The Rich man and the Banana Seller

 The Rich Man and the Banana Seller

In a busy town, there lived a very rich man called Mr. Kofi Mensah. He owned big houses, many cars, and successful businesses. People respected him, but deep inside, he was lonely. His wealth gave him comfort, but not happiness.

Every morning, as he drove to work, he passed by a small roadside stall where a young woman sold bananas. Her name was Ama. She wore simple clothes, smiled at everyone, and greeted customers with kindness. Even when sales were poor, she never complained.

One day, Mr. Mensah stopped his car and bought bananas from her. He was surprised by her humility and warm heart. From that day on, he began stopping there often—not because of the bananas, but because of Ama.

Ama did not know that Mr. Mensah was rich. To her, he was just a polite man who respected her work. They talked about life, hard work, and dreams. Mr. Mensah admired her honesty and strength. Ama admired his wisdom and kindness.

As time passed, love grew between them. When Mr. Mensah finally told Ama the truth about his wealth, she was shocked—but she did not change. She told him,

“I love you for who you are, not for what you own.”

Mr. Mensah knew then that he had found true love. He married Ama, and together they supported the poor and helped small traders like banana sellers.

The rich man learned that true love is not found in money, but in a good heart.

Moral: Love has no class. Respect and character matter more than wealth.
