A Young Man_ Ashok   Once upon a time, in a small village nestled between rolling green hills and babbling brooks, there lived a young boy named Ashok. Ashok was known for his boundless curiosity and adventurous spirit. He had a shock of unruly brown hair that always seemed to defy gravity, and a mischievous twinkle in his bright blue eyes.  Ashok's days were spent exploring every nook and cranny of the village and its surroundings. He climbed trees taller than the tallest houses, chased after butterflies in the meadows, and waded through the cool streams searching for shiny stones.
