THE LION AND THE JACKAL - MORAL STORY

Once a jackal went to a lion and led, "Hey King of the forest! I am very much interested to serve you. Will you accept me to be your servant? I shall serve you loyally." The lion too accepted and made the jackal his servant. True to his word, the jackal served the lion with sincerity and loyalty.




He watched for any animals and gave clues to the lion. The lion attacked the animals and gave away the leftovers to the jackal. Days passed. The jackal grew fat and healthy from eating all he was left out with. He became greedy and went to the lion and said, "From now on I shall make my own hunt." The jackal went hunting. He saw many animals but was not interested.

He waited for some big animal to pass by. A big elephant came that way. The jackal thought, "Aha, now I've got my meal." He leapt to attack the elephant. But, you know what happened; the elephant threw away the jackal with his trunk and gave nice thrashing. The poor jackal ran away for its life.



Moral: NEVER THINK TOO MUCH OF YOURSELF.

He left his hand inside the split end and tried to pull the log apart. Nothing happened. So Pintu decided to pull out the wedge and see what happened. In his anxiety, Pintu did not notice that he was sitting across the log and that his tail was wagering in the split of the log.  The moment Pintu pulled out ...

THE WOLF AND THE RAT - MORAL STORY

      In a borough under a banyan tree lived a colony of rats. They were living happily there. They got plenty of food around them. The banyan tree was so big and strong that the rats we nicely sheltered.                Once, a cunning wolf happened to come that way. 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...
