THE HUNTER AND THE MONKEYS - MORAL STORY

A hunter made his living by hunting wild animals and selling their flesh and hide in the local market.




        He was a very effective hunter. His aim never missed. Once, he found two monkeys playing. He took his bow and slung arrow. A young monkey, who was high up on a tree, saw him and ran to him and pleaded, "Dear hunter, I have heard of you. You are very good at hunting. But, please spare us. One is my mother and the other is my brother.


     We are a family. Please. Don't spoil our family." The hunter was touched by the family attachment. He promised, "I shall not kill any more monkeys." When the hunter returned home, he saw all his neighbours running here and there. When they saw him, one of his neighbours came running and said, "You are a very lucky person. There was a fire in the neighbourhood.

But, your home is very safe. So is your family." The hunter thought to himself, "God has spared my family because I had spared the family of the monkey."

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 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. They were happy to stay with the lion and eat what the lion gave them. They too were very sad to see their king's pathetic state. "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." At that time they happened to come across a sick camel. The camel was counting his days. He staggered in the direction of the jackal and the crow. "What are you discussing folks?" asked the camel. The wise jackal said, "Our king lion is too old to hunt anymore. So, we were talking about who would sacrifice their life for the ki...
