THE SENSIBLE RABBIT MORAL STORY

               Elephants have the habit of roaming in families throughout the forest in search of food and water. They cover large areas in a single day. When they roam, they usually tread upon many small animals and kill them. So, when the smaller animals hear the trumpeting of the elephants running for their lives. 




Many times, rabbits get crushed under the heavy feet of the elephants and lose their lives and those of their loved ones. Even though the rabbits try hard, they could not outrun the elephants. But, the elephants did not seem to even notice the death of the rabbits. The bereaved rabbits gathered together. They were filled with sorrow. They looked at one another, not knowing what to do. There was one smart rabbit in the herd.





He opened up, "Friends if we do not think of a way to divert the elephants, we are sure to die one day or the other." "What shall we do?" asked the other rabbits in a single voice. "Let me talk with the elephant chief and see what could be done," replied the smart rabbit. He met the elephant chief and said, "Oh mighty chief, the pond near which we live belongs to the moon deity. She weeps every night after you leave. She is very upset and sad, thinking of, the lives lost due to your deeds ." The elephant chief replied, "Is it so? Can you prove it?" The rabbit took the elephant chief to the nearby pond and showed the reflection of the moon. The reflection was shimmering due to the mild breeze. 


The elephant took it for the moon's sorrow. He promised to the rabbit, "Hereafter we shall not cross this way. Live in happiness." That was the last time the elephants were seen in that area. The rabbits lived in peace and safety ever after.

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 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  !!! **** **** ****
