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.

THE RABBIT AND HIS FRIENDS - MORAL STORY

            Bunny was a lively rabbit. He was always in the company of some animal or the other. He was friendly with all of them.               Once, Bunny heard a pack of hunting dogs in the forest. He was afraid that they would catch him. He ran to a deer he thought was his close friend and said, "Dear brother, I hear a pack of hunting dogs in the forest nearby. Please save me. You have such sharp antlers. You can thrash them. Please help me, friend !" The coolly replied, "I am sorry, Bunny.        I am too busy to help you out. Go and find someone else for your help." Bunny ran to many of his friends - the bear, the monkey, the zebra, and even the panther. They all gave the same reply. Finally, the tired Bunny met a mouse and told his pathetic state. The mouse replied, "Why are you panicking. Just get into your borough and stay inside till the pack leaves this area. You shall be safe." Bunny we...

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." The next day, the hare was awaiting some saint to pass that way. But, to the hare's despair, no one came that way. In distress, the hare said to himself, "I shall offer myself as food if some saint comes.                 The Forest Deity was watching the entire episode. He appeared in the form of a Brahmin in front of the hare. The hare was happy that his ...
