Essay Topic 1

After hearing the story of Sharru Nada and Arad Gula, Hadan Gula seems to understand the lesson of having to work hard in order to gain wealth. But does it seem as though this story will actually drive the grandson to work as hard? If you were to hear such a story about your grandparent, would it compel you to change your life? Why or why not?
