The Chair of Discord: A Silent Tale of Power and Broken Bonds

In a tranquil village, four friends live harmoniously, each with a distinct personality and no power struggles. They share everything, including meals, under a mango tree with fruit just out of reach. Their days are filled with laughter and camaraderie.

One day, a mysterious chair appears, symbolizing unknown authority. Initially wary, the friends' curiosity leads them to discover that the chair grants the ability to reach the mangoes and offers power and relaxation. As they take turns sitting on the chair, their unity frays. Innocent curiosity turns into fierce competition, with each friend vying for the chair's power. Shared meals become solitary as jealousy and rivalry take hold. The village's tranquility is replaced by discord, with the chair corrupting and dividing the friends.

Ultimately, the chair stands alone, a symbol of the friendships it destroyed. The story reveals how power can corrupt and divide even the closest relationships, reminding us of ambition's cost.
