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.

PATIENCE IS MAGICAL - MORAL STORY

          There was a grazing pasture in between the forest and a nearby village. Just like all domestic animals, a buffalo also used to go to the pasture for its food.        A monkey that lived in the forest used to play with the buffalo, always annoying it. It jumped up on the buffalo and pulled its ears. It came from behind and pulled at the buffalo's tail. It was awfully torturing the buffalo. But the buffalo was patiently bearing these pranks.            An elephant was witnessing all these. It came to the buffalo and asked, "Hey buffalo, how are you so patiently bearing all botheration of the monkey. If it had been me, by now the monkey would have been long dead." The buffalo replied with a smile, "Dear Elephant if we powerful animals show our impatience, how can there be life in the forest. God created all animals to live in peace." The elephant was amazed at the maturity of the buffalo. The monkey that was hearing all this from a treetop felt sorry and

HONEY BEE AND THE PIGEON - MORAL STORY

            It was the rainy season. The forest was thriving with lush green leaves and fresh flowers. All birds and animals were busy collecting food during breaks in the showering rain.           A pigeon was making some repair work in her nest. She was busy collecting available dry sticks. She was flying here and there. Suddenly, she saw a honey bee being drifted in the river below. The honey bee was trying hard to keep its wings dry. The pigeon was very much sorry for the bee. In an effort to save the honey bee, the pigeon plucked a dry leaf and threw it at the bee.         The honey bee was strong enough to lift itself and lay on the dry leaf for some time. Once she was totally dry, the honey bee flew happily saying, "Dear friend, I shall not forget this timely help." Days passed. Autumn came. Hunters poached the forest in search of animals to hunt. They killed any animal they set eyes on.           A hunter managed to see the pigeon perched high on the tree. He thought,

THE ELEPHANT AND THE HELPFUL MICE MORAL STORY

In the heart of the forest, there was a ruined palace. The king had used it as a summer resort a long time back.    Now that the king had died, there were no visitors and the palace had turned into ruins. This ruined leftover had become the shelter for a colony of mice. Once, a herd of elephants happened to cross that way. With loud trumpeting, they crumpled everything they set foot on. When they were about to crush the ruins, the chief mouse ran to the master elephant and begged, "Hey mighty elephant, we are living in these ruins for generations and generations. All our children and their children would turn homeless if your mighty feet lands on these ruins. Be kind enough to spare our lives and our homes." The kind-hearted elephant ordered its fellow elephants not to disturb the ruins and left the place without damaging it.          Days went by. Season changed. Summer came. The mice went through the entire forest in search of food. As they were approaching an opening in th
