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.

PATIENCE IS MAGICAL - MORAL STORY

There was a grazing pasture in between the forest and a nearby village. Just like all domestic animals, a buffalo also used to go to the pasture for its food. A monkey that lived in the forest used to play with the buffalo, always annoying it. It jumped up on the buffalo and pulled its ears. It came from behind and pulled at the buffalo's tail. It was awfully torturing the buffalo. But the buffalo was patiently bearing these pranks. An elephant was witnessing all these. It came to the buffalo and asked, "Hey buffalo, how are you so patiently bearing all botheration of the monkey. If it had been me, by now the monkey would have been long dead." The buffalo replied with a smile, "Dear Elephant if we powerful animals show our impatience, how can there be life in the forest. God created all animals to live in peace." The elephant was amazed at the maturity of the buffalo. The monkey that was hearing all this from a treetop felt sorry and

Now that the king had died, there were no visitors and the palace had turned into ruins. This ruined leftover had become the shelter for a colony of mice. Once, a herd of elephants happened to cross that way. With loud trumpeting, they crumpled everything they set foot on. When they were about to crush the ruins, the chief mouse ran to the master elephant and begged, "Hey mighty elephant, we are living in these ruins for generations and generations. All our children and their children would turn homeless if your mighty feet lands on these ruins. Be kind enough to spare our lives and our homes." The kind-hearted elephant ordered its fellow elephants not to disturb the ruins and left the place without damaging it. Days went by. Season changed. Summer came.
