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.

THE MONKEY AND THE WEDGE MORAL STORIES

              Pintu was a mischievous monkey. He was always very playful. He was also shooting troubles. 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 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...
