Week 2 · The Gurus · Day 9
Guru Nanak & honest bread
On his travels, Guru Nanak showed that honest bread — earned by hard work and shared freely — is sweeter than a feast taken unfairly. The same lesson as Kirat Karni, told as a story.

Go & do it Make a simple meal or snack "the honest way" — help fully, share it, and notice how good honest food tastes.
ਏਹੀ ਕਰਮ ਧਰਮ ਜਪ ਏਹੀ ॥
Ehi karam dharam jap ehi
“This is the true deed and worship — to remember the Lord's Name.”
Talk together
Ask: "Why did Guru Nanak prefer the honest, simple food over the fancy food?"
Younger kids: talk about sharing. Older kids: the story of Bhai Lalo and Malik Bhago.
