THE THREE FISHES - MORAL STORY

         Long Long ago, there lived three fishes in a pond. They were all friendly and lived happily in the pond. Each fish was different from the other's character. 




       The first was named Goldie, the second was named Whitie, and the third was named Brownie. Goldie was very intelligent and shrewd. Whitie was strong-minded and had a belief in destiny. Brownie was slow and lethargic. Once, Goldie heard two fishermen talking among themselves. The first one said, "This pond is full of fish. We have to come tomorrow and have a good catch." The second one replied, "Yes, my friend. Today, we have had enough fish. Definitely, we shall come tomorrow." Goldie swam fast to her friends and started in an anxious voice, "Dear friends, I heard two fishermen talking among themselves to catch fish in this side of the pond tomorrow. We have to leave this place and swim elsewhere to save our lives."




           Whitie asked her, "Are you, sure friend? Will they really come to this side of the pond to catch fish?" "I am sure," replied Goldie. " Perhaps, you are right," said the whitie. Let us move immediately to some other pond, lake or river. Brownie was watching this conversation calmly. "This is my birthplace. I shall not leave from here," she told. Both Goldie and Whitie swam to the other side of the pond. The next day, the fishermen came and threw their net. A lot of fish were caught, including Brownie. They left the place with trays full of fish. Goldie and Whitie saw, with sad hearts, their friend being carried away. Had Brownie listened to their friends, she too would have escaped.

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 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.
