THE GAMBLER'S WISDOM - MORAL STORY

There were two gamblers, Ramu and Somu, who were addicted to playing the dice game all the time.

While Ramu was very straightforward and honest in his game, Somu had the habit of cheating and his game was full of foul play. Every time Somu thought that he was going to lose, he swallowed the dice and acted as if it was lost and said, "Sorry Ramu, the dice are missing. I think the game has come to a draw. I think I need not pay you the money." Ramu believed in the words of Somu and say, "What is wrong in this my friend? What can you do if the dice are lost? You need not pay the bet amount." One day, Ramu found out that Somu was cheating. In order to teach him a lesson, Ramu soaked the dice in mild poison and brought it to play.

As usual, when Somu found that he was going to be the loser, he swallowed the dice. To his grief, Somu fell terribly sick. Ramu visited him and said, "Soon you shall be normal my friend. I have talked with the doctor. I wanted to teach you a small lesson for always cheating. Don't ever be a cheater. understood and felt sorry for his degraded behaviour of Somu.

Moral: NEVER CHEAT, EVEN IF IT IS A GAME !!!

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.

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."
