THE UNITED COWS - MORAL STORY

          It is known that villages are mostly near forests. There was one such village. A farmer reared some cows. He had to let them graze in the forest meadows.




                     There was always the danger of these cows being hunted by wild animals of the forest, especially the lions and tigers. The farmer would make his cows graze in a group. He would not let them scatter around. But, the cows were greedy. They wanted all the grass for themselves that they always fought among and chased away one another. A lion was following these cows. He very well observed the disparity among them and thought, "I have nice food in front of me. If I attack them, I can kill one cow at a time and eat to my stomach full." He started to execute his plan. Within days, the lion attacked a few lone cows and killed them. The cows got worried and afraid to go to the forest for grazing. They all gathered to discuss the threat they were facing. "What are we going to do? The lion is big and strong.



               He can easily kill us. Even our master is afraid of the lion. When he cannot chase away the lion, how can we?" An old and wise cow cleared his throat and started in a feeble voice, "Look friends, we might not be big and strong as the lion. We cannot fight and win against the lion all by ourselves as individuals. But, we are large in number. If we can overcome our greed and unite together, we can definitely win our war against the cruel lion. We can surely chase away the lion from our grazing meadow." All the cows shook their head for some time and mooed in unison, "Surely you are right. We pledge our unity. From now on, we are going to leave away our difference of opinion and greed. We are going to graze as a group.

             We are going to stand united when the lion attacks us the next time." The next day, the lion came to the meadow expecting the cows to graze as individuals. He started to pounce on one cow. But, to his surprise, all the cows grazing nearby came pounding towards him and started attacking him from all directions. Wherever the lion saw, there were pairs of horns. The lion had to run away from the place to save his life. He was never to be found in the area. The cows had learnt their lesson.

He was friendly with all of them.               Once, Bunny heard a pack of hunting dogs in the forest. He was afraid that they would catch him. He ran to a deer he thought was his close friend and said, "Dear brother, I hear a pack of hunting dogs in the forest nearby. Please save me. You have such sharp antlers. You can thrash them. Please help me, friend !" The coolly replied, "I am sorry, Bunny.        I am too busy to help you out. Go and find someone else for your help." Bunny ran to many of his friends - the bear, the monkey, the zebra, and even the panther. They all gave the same reply. Finally, the tired Bunny met a mouse and told his pathetic state.

THE SNAKE AND THE GREEN FROG - MORAL STORY

          It had just rained and the forest was nourishing with water everywhere. There was no shortage of food for every animal.  A snake was swimming in a pond. It had an eye on the plentiful fish in the pond. As it was about to catch a fish, the other fish saw it and pecked at it, biting and annoying it. The snake could not catch the fish. The disappointed snake swam to the shore and was about to leave the place. Just then it saw a frog croaking nearby. So it went to the frog and asked, "What is the justice in the act of the fish.        I was about to catch a big fish, but the other fish chased me off." The frog thought for a while and replied, "Of course, it is just. When the fish comes to you, you can eat it. But, when you go to the fish the fish have right to chase you off." Saying this, the frog leapt away saying to itself, "Oh God! I've been lucky today to have escaped." Moral: EVEN THE MIGHTY ERRS  !!! **** **** ****
