In a rural village, an 11-year-old boy shares a close bond with his bicycle, a companion in his many adventures. One day, with excitement in his heart, he heads to a lively local festival with his friends, only to return and find his bicycle stolen. Devastated, he struggles with the loss, feeling as though his world has come crashing down. Observing her son’s sorrow, his mother lovingly consoles him, sharing the wisdom of life's cyclical nature. She tells him of her own childhood memories, where the rain would stop abruptly, leaving her and her friends disappointed, but soon followed by a rainbow, a symbol of life’s constant renewal. Her words begin to ease his grief, and slowly, the boy realizes that while he has lost something, life still holds new opportunities and growth. Cycle of Life becomes a story of loss, healing, and the potential for brighter moments ahead.
