High in the mountains of India, beneath the ancient shade of a banyan tree, lived King Nagamani, a cobra whose jewel shone with divine light. One moonlit night, he discovered an abandoned child and, guided by compassion, called upon the creatures of the wild to care for the boy. From the milk of a mother dog to the protection of the serpents, the child Avi was raised by love beyond boundaries. When he returned to his tribe, he carried within him the light of understanding that all beings are one family. Through this tender, mystical tale, the reader is reminded that true light does not shine only from jewels or stars, but from the heart that knows compassion.
