THE FOOLISH GARDENER - MORAL STORY

           Gopu was a gardener in a beautiful garden on the outskirts of a city. He was in charge of planting new saplings and maintaining them till they grow up. As the garden was in the outskirts, many monkeys used to come to the garden to play on the lush trees and eat ripe fruits. 





          Once, Gopu had to go to a nearby town to attend an important function. Instead of asking for help from his friends, he called the leader monkey and left the garden in his charge. The monkey gave his word, "I shall take care of the garden with the help of my team till you return." The next morning, the leader monkey asked his team to water the plants.

The monkeys asked, "We shall water them. But, how much should we water?" The confused monkey said, "Just pull out each plant. See the length of the roots. Pour more water for the plants with long roots and less water for plants with short roots." The gardener returned with full hope that his garden would be in nice condition. He was shocked to see that all the plants were uprooted and lying dead. Only then did he understand his error.

THE WOLF AND THE RAT - MORAL STORY

He saw the fleshy rats running here and there across the banyan tree. He thought to himself, "I would love to eat these rats. They are such easy prey." The wolf started limping as if his leg was hurt. Unknowing of the wolf's trick, the leader rat came to the rescue of the wolf. He asked the wolf, "Hello friend, what is your problem? Why are you limping?" The wolf replied in a weak voice, "I have hurt my leg so bad. I cannot hunt for food. If you can help me till I cure, I shall be very thankful to you." "Stay close, I shall send food for you every day through my friends," consoled the leader rat.             From then onwards, the leader ra...

THE FRUIT THAT FELL THE AMAZING STORY

          One day, a rabbit was fast asleep under a shady berry tree. Suddenly, the rabbit woke up with a jerk. He thought he heard a loud noise as though the earth is tearing apart. He ran away from the place as fast as his legs could take him. He cautioned all animals he came across. "Hey brothers and sisters, run away from this place.  The earth is tearing apart." Now, there was panic all across the forest. All animals started to run. However, they all came to a halt with the loud roar of the lion - king of the forest. "Stop all of you fools. Where are you running away? What are you running away from?" he asked. The animals looked at one another without an answer. The rabbit said, "My lord, I was resting under a tree. I heard a loud noise. I think the earth is tearing apart." With a smile, the lion said, "Ok rabbit, show me the place." All animals went along to the tree. There, they saw many fruits fallen down. Only now did they really underst...
