Her pals felt her absence too, and they began to realize their mistake. They had been disrespectful.

Preeti's pals decided to make amends. They didn't want to dispute with her anymore.

They approached Preeti again, this time to apologize and to offer their help with her chores.

Preeti was overjoyed. She had missed her pals and was glad to reconnect.

From that day on, Preeti's pals helped her with her chores. They learned to respect her duties.

They also discovered the fun in working together. Their bond grew stronger.

In the end, Preeti was glad she had been honest. Her pals valued her more for her honesty.

Preeti and her pals learned an important lesson. Disrespect and distrust only lead to disagreement.

But honesty, understanding, and helping each other out lead to a stronger friendship.

And so, they lived happily in their forest, always ready to lend a helping paw to each other.
