THE BIRD WITH TWO HEADS MORAL STORY

Once there lived an unusual bird with two heads. It was a real wonder to look at the birds flying, and it was even more wondrous to watch them eat. The bird had the habit of eating delicious food with his right head and ordinary food with his left head.

One day the left head asked the right head, "Dear right head, why can't you spare some delicious meal for me to swallow. I too want to taste delicacy." The right head replied, "What is the point left head? All food is going only to one stomach. You just eat ordinary things." The left head turned very sad.

It was a drought season. Food was very rare. There were no animals at sight. The bird saw a wild tree with some fruits. He flew there. The left head sensed that the fruit was poisonous. The right head was feeling just the hunger. It was about to eat the fruit, but the left head stopped it and said, "Stop right head, you will kill us. This fruit is poisonous. Look below the tree. You will find bones of many animals." The right head looked down to witness the truth. From then on, the right head gave equal chance for the left head also in all things.

THE SNAKE AND THE GREEN FROG - MORAL STORY

It had just rained and the forest was nourishing with water everywhere. There was no shortage of food for every animal. A snake was swimming in a pond. It had an eye on the plentiful fish in the pond. As it was about to catch a fish, the other fish saw it and pecked at it, biting and annoying it. The snake could not catch the fish. The disappointed snake swam to the shore and was about to leave the place. Just then it saw a frog croaking nearby. So it went to the frog and asked, "What is the justice in the act of the fish. I was about to catch a big fish, but the other fish chased me off." The frog thought for a while and replied, "Of course, it is just. When the fish comes to you, you can eat it. But, when you go to the fish the fish have right to chase you off." Saying this, the frog leapt away saying to itself, "Oh God! I've been lucky today to have escaped."

THE SAINTLY HARE - MORAL STORY

A hare happened to live near a monastery. He saw the penitence of the hermits there and started to practice it. He used to meditate just like the hermits and follow the rites and rituals they adopted. One evening, as the hare sat to meditate, he happened to see the full orb of the growing moon. At once he recollected, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the growing moon. It would be a full moon day. I should be on penitence and eat only after I can find some saint and offer them food."
