VALUE OF TRUST - RABBIT AND PARTRIDGE

Long ago, a partridge was living in the hollow of a tree in a forest for a long time. One day. it had become scarce in that part of the forest and he had to go to some other place in search of food. He found a field of ripe rice at a long distance. He stayed there for many weeks and didn't return back. Soon he became healthy by eating rice grains.

Meanwhile, a rabbit started living in the partridge's nest finding it empty. After some time, the partridge returned and found the rabbit in his nest. "Who are you? What are you doing in my house," the partridge asked angrily. "It is mine and I have been living here for many days." said the rabbit. They started quarrelling with each other. At last, they decided to solve their problem with someone.

A forest cat had been watching them for quite some time. He had an eye on them and was waiting for an opportunity to kill them both. With an aim to fulfil his wish, the cat volunteered, "Hey folks, what is the problem? Shall I be of some help here?" Although both the partridge and the rabbit knew the cat to be their enemy, in their misunderstanding, they approached the cat. As they neared the cat, the cat was ready to pounce on them. With a growl, the cat started to attack the rabbit and the partridge. Both the friends ran in different directions to save their lives. But his sharp paws and teeth will kill both the partridge and rabbit.

Moral: TRUST NOT THE UNTRUSTABLE.

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 LIONS ATTENDANTS

There was an old lion in a forest. He was so old that he could no longer hunt effectively. He could not get food by himself, He had to eat only the leftovers of the kills made by other animals. Sometimes he had to stay hungry for days together if he could not find such leftover food. A jackal and a crow were true followers of the lion.

"We have to do something to make our king really happy," said the jackal to the crow. The crow replied, "Yes, my friend. We have to make our king happy."
