Kids are probably fascinated by watching animals talk, which is perhaps why several
children’s books, television shows, and movies have beasts as protagonists. Several
authors write intriguing short animal stories for kids such as Aesop’s Fables, The Fantastic
Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl, The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling and the Panchatantra that
have animals talking or behaving like humans.
Storytelling can be used to teach children about different aspects of life. While some
messages are simple and straight, others are intense and cannot be delivered directly.
Science has proved that using animals enables writers to tell a powerful story while
maintaining the emotional distance (1)

hear. What’s best, these stories about animals come with a moral lesson too!

reaches the finish line. The overslept hare wakes up, only to be shocked that a slow
moving tortoise beat it in the race.

ducklings looked like the mom. The tenth one was big, gray and ugly. All the other
ducklings made fun of the ugly one. Unhappy in the farm, the poor duckling ran away to a
river nearby. There he sees white, beautiful swans. Afraid and lost, he wanted to drown in
the river. But when he looked at his reflection in the river, he realized that he was not an
ugly duckling, but a beautiful swan!

read_0078156/)
There was once a fisherman whose livelihood depended on his catch. One day, he was
able to catch only one small fish. The fish, in its desperation to live, says “Please leave me
kind sir. I am small and of no use to you. Let me back into the river and I can grow bigger.
You can then catch me and make more money.” The wise fisherman replies, “ I will not
give up a certain profit for one that doesn’t exist yet.”
Moral: Do not forgo a certain gain for an uncertain profit.
6. The Fox And The Goat

read_0078156/)
Walking alone in the forest, an unlucky fox falls into a well one day. Unable to get out, he
waits for help. A passing goat sees the fox and asks him why he is in the well. The cunning
fox responds, “there is going to be a great drought, and I am here to make sure I have
water.” The gullible goat believes this and jumps into the well. The fox swiftly jumps on
the goat and uses its horns to reach the top, leaving the goat in the well.
Moral: Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.
7. The Fox And The Grapes

Animal Stories - The Fox And The Grapes
read_0078156/)
On a hot summer day, a fox comes upon an orchard and sees a bunch of ripened grapes. It
thinks: “Just what I need to quench my thirst.” It moves back a few paces, runs, and jumps
but falls short of reaching the grapes. It tries in different ways to reach the bunch of
grapes, but in vain. It finally gives up, and says to himself “I am sure they are sour
anyway.”
Moral: It is easy to despise what you cannot get your hands on.
8. The Lion And The Boar
Animal Stories - The Lion And The Boar
Image: Shutterstock
It was a hot summer day. A lion and a boar reach a small water body for a drink. They
begin arguing and fighting about who should drink first. After a while, they are tired and
stop for breath, when they notice vultures above. Soon they realize that the vultures are
waiting for one or both of them to fall, to feast on them. The lion and the boar then decide
that it was best to make up and be friends than fight and become food for vultures. They
drink the water together and go their ways after.
Moral: Those who strive are often watched by others to take advantage of their defeat.

read_0078156/)
It was a pleasant day and the grasshopper was in a gay mood, singing and dancing
around. He sees an ant carrying a heavy corn kernel to its nest. The grasshopper asks the
ant to join him for some fun, instead of toiling away like that. The ant tells him that it is
preparing for winter when food would be scarce. The grasshopper brushes the thought
