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 !!!

THE MONKEY AND THE WEDGE MORAL STORIES

              Pintu was a mischievous monkey. He was always very playful. He was also shooting troubles. Once, the pack of monkeys in which Pintu was a member wandered into a nearby village.  A group of lumberjacks were cutting big pieces of wood from the logs. Pintu watched with wonder at the ease with which the lumberjacks split large logs. He was observing their work. When a lumberjack had inserted a wedge to split a log, the bell rang to indicate their lunchtime. 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 ...

THE WOLF AND THE RAT - MORAL STORY

      In a borough under a banyan tree lived a colony of rats. They were living happily there. They got plenty of food around them. The banyan tree was so big and strong that the rats we nicely sheltered.                Once, a cunning wolf happened to come that way. He saw the fleshy rats running here and there across the banyan tree. He thought to himself, "I would love to eat these rats. They are such easy prey." The wolf started limping as if his leg was hurt. Unknowing of the wolf's trick, the leader rat came to the rescue of the wolf. He asked the wolf, "Hello friend, what is your problem? Why are you limping?" The wolf replied in a weak voice, "I have hurt my leg so bad. I cannot hunt for food. If you can help me till I cure, I shall be very thankful to you." "Stay close, I shall send food for you every day through my friends," consoled the leader rat.             From then onwards, the leader ra...
