The Wolf and The Goat

Once a wolf saw a goat atop a hill and said, “Come down here, Miss Goat! The grass here is greener and longer.”

“Thank You,” answered the goat, “The grass down there may be much better. But, if I come down you will get a good meal.

So, I prefer to stay here - where you can't reach. At least I am quite safe.”

Moral : Let not others exploit your gentleness.

The Villager And The Spectacles

There was a villager. He was illiterate. He did not know how to read and write. He often saw people wearing spectacles for reading books or papers.

He thought, “If I have spectacles, I can also read like these people. I must go to town and buy a pair of spectacles for myself.”

So one day he went to a town. He entered a spectacles shop.

He asked the shopkeeper for a pair of spectacles for reading. The shopkeeper gave him various pairs of spectacles and a book.

The villager tried all the spectacles one by one. But he could not read anything. He told the shopkeeper that all those spectacles were useless for him.

The shopkeeper gave him a doubtful look. Then he looked at the book. It was upside down! The shopkeeper said, “Perhaps you don’t know how to read.”

The villager said, “No, I don’t. I want to buy spectacles so that I can read like others. But I can’t read with any of these spectacles.”

The shopkeeper controlled his laughter with great difficulty when he learnt the real problem of his illiterate customer.

He explained to the villager, “My dear friend, you are very ignorant. Spectacles don’t help to read or write. They only help you to see better. First of all you must learn to read and write.”

Moral: Ignorance is blindness.

The Fox and The Grapes

One hot summer day, a fox was strolling along when he noticed a bunch of juicy grapes just turning ripe, hanging on a vine high above.

“Mmm, that’s just the thing to take care of my thirst,” said the fox.

He trotted back a few steps, then ran forward and jumped, just missing the grapes. He turned around and tried again.

“One, two, three, go,” he said, and he lunged at the grapes with all his might.

But again, he missed.

Again and again he tried to pluck the grapes from the vine, but at last he gave up.

He walked away with his nose in the air, saying, “I didn’t want those old grapes anyway. I’m sure they are sour.”

Moral: You shouldn’t speak badly about something that you once wanted, just because you can’t have it.

Mountain

A son and his father were walking on the mountains.

Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Curious, he yells: “Who are you?”

He receives the answer: “Who are you?”

And then he screams to the mountain: “I admire you!”

The voice answers: “I admire you!”

Angered at the response, he screams: “Coward!”

He receives the answer: “Coward!”

He looks to his father and asks: “What's going on?”

The father smiles and says: “My son, pay attention.”

Again the man screams: “You are a champion!”
The voice answers: “You are a champion!”

The boy is surprised, but does not understand.

Then the father explains: “People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.

It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.

If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.

This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life will give you back everything you have given to it.”

“YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!”

Time Is Valuable

Anthony was a very lazy boy and always used to postpone things.

One day his father called him and made him understand the value of time that one should always do things on time. Anthony promised his father that he would never postpone things.

One day, he came to know that he had won the first prize in a singing competition that was held the previous month. He was asked to collect the prize the same day. He didn't care and went to collect the prize the next day. But the prize became useless for him, as it was a ticket to a circus show, which was held the previous day.

Anthony learnt a lesson from this incident.
