In a village, a cultured family helped their neighbor by cooking while she was away. The wife cooked for both homes daily. Her son, Vinu, noticed this and questioned the appropriateness of prioritizing the neighbor's needs. Pleased with his inquiry, she explained the importance of serving others and that hot food for the neighbor was preferable. Vinu understood her sentiment and learned a valuable lesson about service. He later gained recognition as "Vinoba Bhave."
