THE WOODCUTTERS AND THE SAL TREE - MORAL STORY

          The trees in the forest had a deep discussion. "All birds build their nest on us and make us dirty with their excretions," complained the Fir tree. "It is true," accepted all trees in unison. "Not to say only that, even animals climb on us making scratches all over our trunk. This really stinks. 



          We have to drive away all," added the Sal tree. A wise banyan tree opposed, "Look friends, life is interdependent. We need them for our safety and life. We should not chase them away." No other tree listened. The trees in the forest decided to chase away all birds and animals. The next day morning all trees shook so violently that the birds and animals who were resting both on the trees and beneath the trees fled away in fear. 


          The trees were very happy. "We are free now," hooted them. A few woodcutters came that way. They saw the big Sal tree and said, "At last, we are free to cut this tree. Till now there were many wild animals and birds living here. We were afraid to come here. 

Now that there are no animals and birds, we can do our work." The woodcutters felled the tree and cut it into pieces. The other trees could do nothing but watch in despair. "Look, this is why I told you not to chase away the birds and animals. They are our helpers and protectors," emphasised the banyan tree.

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 ra...

THE MONKEY AND THE WEDGE MORAL STORIES

              Pintu was a mischievous monkey. He was always very playful. He was also shooting troubles. Once, the pack of monkeys in which Pintu was a member wandered into a nearby village.  A group of lumberjacks were cutting big pieces of wood from the logs. Pintu watched with wonder at the ease with which the lumberjacks split large logs. He was observing their work. When a lumberjack had inserted a wedge to split a log, the bell rang to indicate their lunchtime. The lumberjacks set aside their work and went away for their lunch.         Pintu ran to the log with the wedge stuck deep inside. His curiosity increased. 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 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...
