THE DEVOED MOTHER - MORAL STORY

It was a serene lake. There were many fowls living in the banks and the trees surrounding the lake. A family of ducks was also living there.

The mother lake was guiding her chicks to learn swimming and searching for food. Life was very happy for the family. The duck and her chicks were swimming all over the lake and roaming around the banks. They were enjoying life to the full extent. One day, the duck saw a cunning fox hunting in the area. The duck immediately came and warned the chicks, "Look my children, there is a fox in the area. Be careful when you come out of the lake. He might harm you." "Yes mother," the chicks replied in unison. The duck always kept an eye on her chicks to safeguard them from the dangerous fox.

The next day, when the duck went out she saw the fox hiding very near to her chicks. She was alarmed. She shouted in a loud voice, "Run to the water children. The fox is hiding near you," and ran towards the fox. The fox noted the duck coming in his direction and was very happy that he was going to get a nice meal. He waited for the duck to come closer.

The duck came halfway, turned around to see her chicks flutter safely into the water. She acted as if she was wounded. She started to limp away. The fox thought it was the ripe time to attack the duck. He leapt at the duck. The duck waited till the last moment. Gaining all her strength, she flapped her wings and flew away just as the fox was about to grip her. Now, the duck and her chicks were safely swimming in the water while the fox had to search for food elsewhere.

Moral: MOTHER'S LOVE HAS NO EQUAL !!!

THE PIGEONS AND THE HUNTER

Pigeons are birds that live in groups. It is very difficult to see a single pigeon. Hunters know this fact. So, whenever they lay nets to catch pigeons, they get many pigeons together. This is one such story. A hunter had laid his net near a paddy field. He was waiting high up on a branch of a nearby banyan tree. Soon a group of pigeons flew to the paddy field to graze. They all got caught in the net. They were all very afraid of what would happen next. There was one wise pigeon. He said, "Friends, we should not be afraid. We have to be courageous. Let us join together. It is time for us to be united. We should fly all at once. Let us flap our wings in unison." Saying this, the smart pigeon started to flap its wings. All other pigeons also started to flap their wings. Soon there was a rhythm and they started to rise. This encouraged the pigeons to flap still faster. Suddenly, the net tore away and the pigeons were free. They flew away happily. Moral: UNITY IS STRENGT...
