Example Story – The Honest Woodcutter
The Honest Woodcutter
Once upon a time, there was a poor woodcutter who lived near a forest. One day, he was cutting wood beside a river. Suddenly, his axe slipped from his hand and fell into the water.
The woodcutter became very sad because he had only one axe. An angel appeared and asked him why he was crying. The angel first showed him a golden axe, but the woodcutter refused and said it was not his.
Then the angel showed him a silver axe, but again he said it was not his axe. Finally, the angel showed him his old iron axe. The woodcutter became very happy and accepted it.
The angel was pleased with his honesty and rewarded him with all three axes.
Moral: Honesty is the best policy.
Example Story – The Thirsty Crow
The Thirsty Crow
One hot day, a thirsty crow searched for water everywhere. After a long time, he found a pot with very little water inside.
The crow tried to drink the water but could not reach it. Then he thought of a clever idea. He picked up small stones and dropped them into the pot one by one.
Slowly, the water level rose up, and the crow drank the water happily.
Moral: Where there is a will, there is a way.
