(Suggested answer) One story that reflects similar values of kindness and acceptance is the story of Sudama and Krishna. In this story, Krishna welcomes his childhood friend Sudama with great love and respect, even though Sudama was very poor. Krishna treats him with honour, showing that friendship, compassion, and treating everyone equally are important values. This reflects the idea of “atithi devo bhava”-a guest is like God. Another example from local tradition is the custom of Langar in Sikhism. In a Gurudwara, everyone-rich or poor, from any religion or community, sits together and eats the same food. This shows the values of equality, sharing, kindness, and caring for all. Think About it
