TWO BIRDS IN ONE STONE - MORAL STORY

             On a tree, near a perennial lake, lived a pair of herons. They had built their nest high on the tree, hoping to keep dangerous animals away. They laid many eggs and were waiting anxiously for them to hatch. But alas! A cobra had found the eggs in the nest started eating one by one. The pair of herons were in great despair. They could not fight against the big cobra. As they were fishing in the pond they were crying. A crab saw the herons weeping.

He slowly came to them and asked, "Hello friends, can I know the reason for your sadness." "Oh, crab! A cobra sneaks into our nest and eats our eggs. We are at a loss what to do to chase off the cobra," the herons told. The crab thought to itself, "I hate both the herons and the cobra. They both are a threat to me. Let me take my opportunity to get rid of both the heron and the cobra at a single stroke."




        The crab said in a convincing, "I know of a plan. Go to the borough of the mongoose and steal some of its food and spread it around the tree and up to the hole where the cobra lives. The mongoose will do the remaining. " The herons left out to enact the plan. They stealthily took some pieces of food from the mongoose borough and spread them all around the tree and in the hole where the cobra lived. That evening, the mongoose sniffed its food lying around the tree and ending in the cobra's hole. He fought with the cobra and killed him.




 The herons were watching the whole show from high up the tree, unknowing that they were going to become the next prey for the mongoose. As soon as the mongoose killed the cobra, his attention turned towards the herons as they smelt of his food. The mongoose jumped and climbed up the tree. In a single sweep, he caught the herons and killed them too. The crab was the one who really benefitted from the show.

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 LIONS ATTENDANTS

         There was an old lion in a forest. He was so old that he could no longer hunt effectively. He could not get food by himself, He had to eat only the leftovers of the kills made by other animals. Sometimes he had to stay hungry for days together if he could not find such leftover food.  A jackal and a crow were true followers of the lion. They were happy to stay with the lion and eat what the lion gave them. They too were very sad to see their king's pathetic state. "We have to do something to make our king really happy," said the jackal to the crow. The crow replied, "Yes, my friend. We have to make our king happy." At that time they happened to come across a sick camel. The camel was counting his days. He staggered in the direction of the jackal and the crow. "What are you discussing folks?" asked the camel.
