The child and his mother:

A curious child asked his mother: Mommy, why are some of your hairs turning grey?

The mother tried to use this occasion to teach her child: It is because of you, dear. Every bad
action of yours will turn one of my hairs grey!

The child replied innocently: Now I know why grandmother has only grey hairs on her head.

The Lion and the Mouse

Once when a Lion was asleep, a little Mouse began running

up and down upon him. This soon wakened the Lion, who
placed his huge paw upon him and opened his big jaws to
swallow him.

"Pardon, O King!" cried the little Mouse, "Forgive me this

time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your
kindness. And who knows, but I may be able to do you a
good turn one of these days?"

The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his
paw and let him go.

Sometime later a few hunters captured the King and

tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon
to carry him on.

Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and

seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, ran up to
him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the
King of the Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little
Mouse, very happy to help the Lion.

MORAL: Little friends may prove great friends.

There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how
fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the
Tortoise challenged him to a race. All the animals in
the forest gathered to watch.

The Hare ran down the road for a while and then and
paused to rest. He looked back at the tortoise and cried
out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are
walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty
of time to relax."
The Tortoise walked and walked; never ever stopping
until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for

Tortoise, that they woke up Hare. The Hare stretched
and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late.
Tortoise was already over the line.

MORAL: SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE

The Fox and the Stork

A selfish fox once invited a stork to dinner at his home

and for a joke put nothing before her but some soup in
a very shallow dish. The fox could easily lap this up,
but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in
it, and stayed hungry.

I am sorry that the soup is not to your liking," said the

fox with a sly smile.

"Oh, please do not apologise," said the Stork. "I hope

you will return this visit, and come and dine with me too sometime." So a day was appointed
when the Fox should visit the Stork.

Finally, when they were seated at the table, the Stork

served them both some soup in a very long-necked jar
with a narrow mouth. The stork drank the soup easily
but the fox could not insert his snout into the tall jar.
This time it was the Foxs turn to go hungry.

MORAL: ONE BAD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER.

A Hole in the Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and
told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he
learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence....

Finally the day came when the boy didnt lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and
the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold
his temper. The day passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the
nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, You
have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.

The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like
this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It wont matter how many times you
say Im sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Friends and loved ones are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage
you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open
their hearts to us. Water your relationships with kindness and they will grow. So be careful
little lips what you say! And you won't chase friendships away.

Butterfly and Cocoon

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared; he sat and watched
the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it
seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it
could go no farther.

Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the
remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and
small, shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings
would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a
swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What this man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon
and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were nature's way
of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for
flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If nature allowed us to go through
our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we
could have been. And we could never fly...

The Monkey and the Dolphin

One day long ago, some sailors set out to sea in their sailing ship. One of them brought his
pet monkey along for the long journey.

When they were far out at sea, a terrible storm overturned their ship. Everyone fell into the
sea, and the monkey was sure that he would drown. Suddenly a dolphin appeared and picked
him up.

They soon reached the island and the monkey came down from the dolphins back. The
dolphin asked the monkey, Do you know this place?

The monkey replied, Yes, I do. In fact, the king of the island is my best friend. Do you know
that I am actually a prince?

Knowing that no one lived on the island, the dolphin said, Well, well, so you are a prince!
Now you can be a king! The monkey asked, How can I be a king?

As the dolphin started swimming away, he answered, That is easy. As you are the only
creature on this island, you will naturally be the king!

Those who lie and boast may end up in trouble.

A Merchant and his Donkey

One beautiful spring morning, a merchant loaded his donkey

with bags of salt to go to the market in order to sell them. The
merchant and his donkey were walking along together. They
had not walked far when they reached a river on the road.

Unfortunately, the donkey slipped and fell into the river and
noticed that the bags of salt loaded on his back became lighter.

70
There was nothing the merchant could do, except return home where he loaded his donkey
with more bags of salt. As they reached the slippery riverbank, now deliberately, the donkey
fell into the river and wasted all the bags of salt on its back again.

The merchant quickly discovered the donkeys trick. He then returned home again but re-
loaded his donkey with bags of sponges.

The foolish, tricky donkey again set on its way. On reaching the river he again fell into the
water. But instead of the load becoming lighter, it became heavier.

The merchant laughed at him and said: You foolish donkey, your trick had been discovered,
you should know that, those who are too clever sometimes over reach themselves.
