TWO MONKEYS - MORAL STORY

          A monkey lived in a mountain cave. He was kind-hearted and loved to help other animals. He used to share his food, fruits and vegetables with those who didn't have any to eat. 




           Once, he found a wounded monkey in the foothills. "Oh dear friend, are you wounded seriously? Tell me how you got hurt," asked the kind-hearted monkey. "I can't move my limbs. I think I have some broken ribs. I was playing on a treetop, swinging from one branch to another. I slipped and fell down," replied the wounded monkey. So, the kind-hearted monkey helped the wounded monkey to his cave. He treated the monkey for his wounds. After some days the wounded monkey healed and turned healthy. "Friend, you have healed. You are now ready to join your family," said the kind-hearted monkey. "I am still a bit weak," replied the other monkey. "OK then, I shall bring you some food to eat," said the kind-hearted monkey and left the cave.




          The kind-hearted monkey searched for food. While searching, he was thinking about the wounded monkey. He was somehow disturbed in the way the wounded monkey behaved lately. Anyhow, the kind-hearted monkey collected food for the wounded monkey and reached the cave. There he found the entire family of the wounded monkey dancing with joy. "See how well I have been cheating the kind-hearted monkey," boasted the wounded monkey. "You are such a good actor," appreciated his wife. Right at that moment, the kind-hearted monkey entered the cave. All the monkeys were shocked. "You are very early my friend, meet my family," the wounded monkey said with a shiver in his voice. "My friend, I have been kind to you not because of your wound alone, but with a feeling of compassion. So, please take your family and leave the cave. Don't try to do something foolish. Remember I treated your wounds. I can cripple you in one strike," cautioned the kind hearted monkey. The monkey left the place and was never to be seen in the forest again.

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. The wise jackal said, "Our king lion is too old to hunt anymore. So, we were talking about who would sacrifice their life for the ki...
