FREE ADVICE - MORAL SORY

             Once, in a forest, there lived a group of monkeys. They made their homes at the top of the trees. There were so many baby monkeys also. There was a river in that forest. It was summer season. The monkeys enjoyed taking baths in the river.




They used to play in the evening and eat fruits from the trees. They lived together as a family in order to safeguard themselves from enemies and rear one another. It was autumn, and the forest was rich with fruits fallen to the ground.

The monkeys enjoyed lots of food. One day, a playful monkey came across deep red plums and mistook them for a piece of burning fire. He started collecting as many 'fire pieces' as he could. Soon, many of the monkeys joined in the task. "These fire pieces will keep us warm throughout the winter," they were saying to one another.




A colourful parrot was watching the whole scene. She started feeling pity for the monkeys. From high up the tree she called, "Hello! Dear monkeys, I have been watching you for some time. Can I know what you are doing?" "We are collecting fire pieces to keep us warm throughout the winter," answered the monkey chief. "Oh, I see! But these do not fire pieces; these are just fully ripened plum fruits. They will turn sour by winter," pitied the parrot. "Go away parrot. We know these better. We won't listen to you," said the monkey chief and chased the parrot away. Soon, winter came; and so did cold wind with snowfall. The monkeys went near the 'fire pieces'. But, there was only decayed blackish fruit remains. Only now did they realise what the parrot told.

Pintu watched with wonder at the ease with which the lumberjacks split large logs. He was observing their work. When a lumberjack had inserted a wedge to split a log, the bell rang to indicate their lunchtime. The lumberjacks set aside their work and went away for their lunch.         Pintu ran to the log with the wedge stuck deep inside. His curiosity increased. He left his hand inside the split end and tried to pull the log apart. Nothing happened. So Pintu decided to pull out the wedge and see what happened. In his anxiety, Pintu did not notice that he was sitting across the log and that his tail was wagering in the split of the log.  The moment Pintu pulled out ...
