TWO STORKS AND THE TURTLE MORAL STORY

There were two storks and a turtle who were friends. They shared the same pond for many years. They were living happily for a long time. The storks used to bring food for the turtle and the turtle did the same for them. But, the turtle used to boast of itself. "See dear friends, you can only fly. I can dive so deep into the pond and get rare fish for you." The pond started to dry up fast as there was a severe drought.

The friends had to search for a new place to live. "Friend, we can fly off to another pond and start our new life there. What will you do?" asked the stork to the turtle. "I don't know. I cannot fly like you do. I will have to somehow manage till I die here," said the turtle with a throat full of grief. The next day, the storks flew in search of a new pond to live in and returned happily. "Friend, we have found a new pond to live in. Come with us. We shall carry you," said them to the turtle.

"How can you carry me?" asked the turtle. The storks said, "We shall hold a branch in our beaks. You can cling to the branch with your mouth. We will lift you up and fly over to the new pond," said the storks together. The turtle clung to the branch and the storks started flying.

They were about to reach the new pond. The turtle thought to boast, "See, now I am too flying... I am the greatest of all." No sooner did the turtle open its mouth, it fell from high above.

But luckily, as it fell near the pond, the sand was soft and there was no harm to the turtle. The turtle had learnt its lesson. From then on it stopped boasting.

Moral: BOAST NOT FALL NOT !!!

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."
