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 used to chase away anyone approaching his hut. People did not like him. But, they were afraid of his curses. The saint was arrogant with his powers.      One day, a lizard happened to fall from a nearby tree into his hut. The saint turned very angry.

It struck the saint right on his forehead and the sa...
