⚠️ The Riddle:

I fix your mistakes but sacrifice myself,
The more I help you, the smaller I get,
I live at the end but I'm not the finish,

What am I?

 

🧩 Answer?

 An ERASER!

 

💡 Explanation:

The humble eraser has hidden complexity:

• Fix mistakes but sacrifice myself - Erases errors but wears away with each use.
• More I help, smaller I get - Every correction makes the eraser a little smaller.
• Live at the end, not the finish - Sits at the end of pencils, but helps you continue, not finish!

 

🌱 Real-Life Lesson?

 

Erasers teach us that helping others often requires personal sacrifice. Just like an eraser gives up pieces of itself to fix mistakes, true service means being willing to invest your time, energy, or resources to help others succeed. The most meaningful relationships are built on mutual willingness to 'wear down' a little for each other's benefit!
