THE JACKAL AND THE DONKEY - MORAL STORY

There was a farmer who owned a big field in the outskirts of his village. He used to take his donkey with him when he was going to the field for the night watch.




The next day morning, he loaded the donkey with the crops and took them to the market for sales. Daily night, the donkey heard the howling of a jackal. 

He saw that his master turned afraid on hearing this howling, for his master would say, "What a deep howl! It just cuts through my nerves. One night the donkey happened to meet the jackal. 

The donkey felt very jealous of the jackal and said, "See jackal, even my master is afraid of your voice. Look at me, he always beats me and makes me carry heavy loads.






  The cunning jackal wanted to teach a lesson for the jealous donkey. He said, "Who said that your master will not be afraid of you? Have you ever tried howling in the late night?" The donkey thought, "Aha, so, that is the secret." The following night, as the farmer was about to sleep, the donkey opened its mouth wide open and started to howl. But, instead of howling, he could only bray. 


The farmer heard the loud braying of the donkey. He came out with a heavy stick and gave nice thrashings to the donkey. The poor donkey just then understood not to be jealous of others.


Moral: DON'T TRY TO IMITATE OTHERS OUT OF JEALOUSY  !!!

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." Moral: EVEN THE MIGHTY ERRS  !!! **** **** ****
