Lesson based on the Sikh story of Duni Chand and the value of generosity. Guru Nanak reminds the greedy Duni Chand that when you die, you cannot take material possessions and wealth with you. Encourages children to act out the story and decide what Duni Chand could have done with his wealth. Also attached a homework sheet for children to explore words associated with generosity.
