THE WISH CUP - MORAL STORY

           Swaroop was a rich merchant. He was hard working and sincere in his business. He had earned sumptuous money. He had a son Nirmal. Nirmal was the opposite of Swaroop in character. He was lazy and lethargic. 



         Nirmal took life very easy. He did not understand the value of hard work. When Swaroop died, Nirmal inherited all of his father's wealth. But, due to his ill habits, he spent them all in just a short time and lost the whole wealth. He became very poor and started the life of a beggar. Swaroop watched from heaven, his son turning into a beggar and could not bear it. 

       He appeared to Nirmal and gave him a cup saying, "Nirmal, my son, this is not an ordinary cup. This cup will give you whatever you wish for. Keep this and use this well. You need not be a beggar anymore." But, Nirmal, in his drunken mood threw away the cup and broke it. He remained a beggar for the rest of his life.

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 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?
