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.

THE WOLF AND THE RAT - MORAL STORY

The banyan tree was so big and strong that the rats we nicely sheltered.                Once, a cunning wolf happened to come that way. He saw the fleshy rats running here and there across the banyan tree. He thought to himself, "I would love to eat these rats. They are such easy prey." The wolf started limping as if his leg was hurt. Unknowing of the wolf's trick, the leader rat came to the rescue of the wolf. He asked the wolf, "Hello friend, what is your problem? Why are you limping?" The wolf replied in a weak voice, "I have hurt my leg so bad. I cannot hunt for food. If you can help me till I cure, I shall be very thankful to you." "Stay close, I shall send food for you every day through my friends," consoled the leader rat.             From then onwards, the leader ra...

THE FRUIT THAT FELL THE AMAZING STORY

          One day, a rabbit was fast asleep under a shady berry tree. Suddenly, the rabbit woke up with a jerk. He thought he heard a loud noise as though the earth is tearing apart. He ran away from the place as fast as his legs could take him. He cautioned all animals he came across. "Hey brothers and sisters, run away from this place.  The earth is tearing apart." Now, there was panic all across the forest. All animals started to run. However, they all came to a halt with the loud roar of the lion - king of the forest. "Stop all of you fools. Where are you running away? What are you running away from?" he asked. The animals looked at one another without an answer. The rabbit said, "My lord, I was resting under a tree. I heard a loud noise. I think the earth is tearing apart." With a smile, the lion said, "Ok rabbit, show me the place." All animals went along to the tree. There, they saw many fruits fallen down. Only now did they really underst...
