Once there was a shepherd boy who had to look after a flock of sheep. He was very mischievous. One day, he decided to play a trick on the villagers. he shouted, "Please help me, there is a wolf." The villagers heard his cries and rushed out of the village to help the shepherd boy. When they reached him. they asked, "Where is the wolf?" The shepherd boy laughed loudly, "Ha, Ha, Ha! I was making fool all of you." I was only playing a trick.




 A few days later, the shepherd boy repeated his trick Again he cried, "Help! Help! Wolf!" Again, the villagers rushed. The boy said I was only playing a trick. A few days later, the shepherd boy repeated his trick. Again he cried, "Help! Help! Wolf!" Again,


The villagers rushed up the hill to help him and again they found that boy had tricked them. They were very angry with him for being so naughty. Then, after some time, a wolf attacked his flock of sheep. The shepherd boy ran towards the village shouting. "Help! Help! Wolf! Help! Somebody!"





The villagers heard his cries but this time no one came. to help him think that he might be playing another trick. The boy ran to the nearest villa ers and said, "A wolf is attacking the sheep. I lied before, but this time it is true!" On hearing this, the villagers went to look. It was true They could see the wolf running away and many dead sheep lying on the grass.

THE ELEPHANT AND THE HELPFUL MICE MORAL STORY

In the heart of the forest, there was a ruined palace. The king had used it as a summer resort a long time back.    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 PIGEONS AND THE HUNTER

This is one such story. A hunter had laid his net near a paddy field. He was waiting high up on a branch of a nearby banyan tree. Soon a group of pigeons flew to the paddy field to graze. They all got caught in the net. They were all very afraid of what would happen next. There was one wise pigeon. He said, "Friends, we should not be afraid. We have to be courageous. Let us join together. It is time for us to be united. We should fly all at once. Let us flap our wings in unison." Saying this, the smart pigeon started to flap its wings. All other pigeons also started to flap their wings. Soon there was a rhythm and they started to rise. This encouraged the pigeons to flap still faster.

All birds and animals were busy collecting food during breaks in the showering rain.           A pigeon was making some repair work in her nest. She was busy collecting available dry sticks. She was flying here and there. Suddenly, she saw a honey bee being drifted in the river below. The honey bee was trying hard to keep its wings dry. The pigeon was very much sorry for the bee. In an effort to save the honey bee, the pigeon plucked a dry leaf and threw it at the bee.         The honey bee was strong enough to lift itself and lay on the dry leaf for some time.
