THE WOLF AND THE RAT - MORAL STORY

      In a borough under a banyan tree lived a colony of rats. They were living happily there. They got plenty of food around them. 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 rat sent food for the wolf through a rat. The wolf was too happy to invite the rat that brought food. The wolf ate both the food and the rat that brought food. Within a few days, the leader observed that the rat that took food to the wolf did not return to the borough. So, the next day, he followed the rat that took food. 


            He was shocked by the scene he saw there. The wolf invited the rat with a big smile and once when he had finished eating the food, caught the rat and ate him too. The leader rat returned to the borough and called his entire colony. "Friends, the cunning wolf is cheating us. He has planned to eat each and every one of us. We have to teach the wolf a lesson." As usual, a rat took some food for the wolf. The entire colony sneaked behind the rat. The wolf invited the rat with a big smile and ate the food. When he had almost finished the food, the leader rat signalled. The entire colony sprang upon the wolf and killed the wolf.

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  !!! **** **** ****
