THE GEESE AND THE CROW - MORAL STORY

                There was a lush meadow in a dense forest. A brook ran across the meadow. A crow lived on a nearby tree top. She was always dissatisfied. Although she had plenty to eat, she kept on complaining. Even if she had big fish to eat she was not content. She always wanted more.




                    She looked around and lamented, "All other animals and birds are happy and joyful. They all lead successful living. I alone am unfortunate. I don't get everything I want. The forest is lush, the leaves are green and beautiful, and the brook is full of fish, but, I don't get enough." At that moment her eyes fell on two golden geese loitering here and there. She went to the geese and started, "Oh beautiful geese, how beautiful you are! Look at your colourful feathers.

           They are glowing in the sunlight. But look at me. I am so ugly. You should be lucky to get whatever you want to eat. Tell me the secret meal you eat. I too shall eat that and become as beautiful as you are. The geese exchanged looks and answered in a soft voice, "My dear friend, beauty is our character rather than in our food. Be virtuous, and you too shall become beautiful." The greedy crow just then understood the meaning of life.



Moral: BEAUTY IS IN CHARACTER !!!

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 TIGER AND THE WOODPECKER - MORAL STORY

             A woodpecker was pecking the branch of a tree when he heard a pathetic cry, "Help me, please.  Somebody help me please!" The woodpecker flew in the direction of the cry.              Soon he found a tiger, with tears filling in his eyes. "What happened?" asked the woodpecker. "A tiny piece of bone pricked my mouth. It still remains between my teeth. It is very painful," cried the tiger. "Open your mouth and I shall remove the bone," said the woodpecker. The tiger opened his mouth and the woodpecker pulled the bone out. "Thank you," said the tiger and left happily. After a few days, the woodpecker happened to meet the tiger. "Hello, tiger! How are you?" enquired the woodpecker with affection. The tiger was very happy to meet the woodpecker. They both turned into good friends and lived happily.
