THE TRUTHFUL MONGOOSE - MORAL STORY

           Ram was a farmer who got wedded recently. The newly wedded couple were very sad that they did not have any child, for both were dearly in love with children.




When Ram went to his fields to work, he found a mongoose. It was very tiring and weak. Ram brought the mongoose home. His wife, being an affectionate lady, fed the mongoose well and soon the mongoose turned healthy. Not only that, but the couple also got a child.

They both were very happy and Ram said, "Look, the mongoose has brought us good luck. We shall be thankful and treat the mongoose as our son."




Months passed. One day, as the child was asleep in its cradle, a snake came slithering there. As the snake was about to bite the child, the mongoose leapt and killed the snake. The mongoose ran to its master with blood dripping from its mouth. Ram saw the mongoose running towards him. He also saw blood dripping from its mouth.

He mistook that blood to be that of his child. He thought, "After all the mongoose is just an animal. He should have bitten my child in want of milk." In his haste, Ram killed the mongoose and ran to see what happened to his child. There, his child was fast asleep in the cradle. Now Ram was grief-struck. He had lost his dear pet due to his hasty decision.



Moral: HASTE LEADS TO GRIEF AND MAKES WASTE.

The lumberjacks set aside their work and went away for their lunch.         Pintu ran to the log with the wedge stuck deep inside. His curiosity increased. 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 ...
