Once there was an elephant who lived in a jungle.He was very strong and powerful. He never harmed any of the animals of that jungle. All the animals loved him so much. The elephant was living a happy and peaceful life there.
One day a wolf  who lived in another jungle came there and saw the 
Elephant. "Ah! what a big and healthy elephant, I should make a good plan to catch him .It will be a big feast for me and my friends ,we can feed on him for many days", he thought.
 He told his friends about the elephant and they made a plan. 



  Next day the wolf with his other friends went to the elephant's  place and said to him " Oh, the powerful elephant, it does not suit  you to be the king of this small jungle.You deserve to rule over a  bigger forest like ours.Please come with us,a much more beautiful  life is waiting for you".
 The elephant who was unaware of the cruel plan of the wolves, agreed to do that.The wolves took him to the way where there was a big swamp, elephant slipped in to the swamp and died. The cunning wolves sang and danced.  
 Moral of the story- We should not be greedy                                                                                                             Panchtantra story                                                                                    Retold by -Aunt Mary

UNFAITHFUL FRIEND ( Moral Story)


                                                         
Once there were two  men who were very good friends . People of the village always gave their example whenever there was a talk about friendship. Both of them used to be together all the time. 
One of them was a little fat and bulky and the other one was slim and fit. Together they looked a little funny but they were very happy to be friends with each other. 
One day there was a function in another village. Both the friends were invited there, so they set out on their journey to that village. In between the two villages there was a forest and they had to cross that forest in order to reach their destination. While they were walking through the forest they saw that a big, dangerous bear was coming 
behind them. Seeing the bear the friend who was slim immediately started running very fast without caring about his friend though the fat friend was crying and calling him, " Please friend, don't leave me alone! Take me with you, I can't run so fast". He couldn't run fast because he was quite fat and over-weight.  But his friend did not listen and quickly climbed up a tree. The bear was coming closer and closer ,the fat man lied on the ground and held his breath.  When the bear came near him he thought that the man was dead so he went away from there.
The fat man's friend climbed down from the tree and asked him in a mocking way , "What did the bear say to you?" because he wanted to end this incident in a joke and wanted his friend to forget it. But the fat man now understood well that his friend will always deceive him when he will be in trouble. He said to his friend, " The bear told me that your friend is very unfaithful. Do not believe him ever in your life". 
                            
      
   MORAL OF THE STORY
           It's better to have no friend than having an unfaithful  friend!

Dear children, this is the story about four friends who lived in a jungle.The four friends were a rat ,a deer,a turtle and a bird. They loved and cared for each other.


One day one  the deer went very far away in search of fresh grass and did not come back. The other three friends got worried about the deer ,they waited till the morning and  then decided to go to search the deer one by one. First the bird  went to look for her friend. She flied here and there for a long time and at last she found the deer. She landed on the ground and went close to the deer who was caught in a net by some cruel hunter. 

The deer said to the bird ,"Dear friend now my life is going to end, the hunter will eat me up".  " Don't worry my friend just hang on there I'll be right back". Said the bird.

Bird went to her friends the rat and the turtle and told them everything.  Rat said to the bird,"Hold me in your claws and take me there''.
 "I will follow you" Said the turtle. The bird held the rat in her claws and started flying. They reached the place where the deer was caught in a net. The rat cut the net with its sharp teeth and took the deer out.

Meanwhile the turtle also reached there.When they were going back , the hunter came and saw them. 
As you know the turtle walks very slow so the hunter caught the turtle. The other three friends reached a safe place and started thinking that how they could save the turtle. The deer said, "I will go there and act as if my one leg has got hurt so the hunter would think that I can't run fast. He will then try to catch me, and when he will come after me I'll run very fast and will make myself safe.Meanwhile you both go to the turtle and get him out of the net and get away from there quickly". They completed their task and made the turtle free. 
                               
                                  
         Moral of the story- True friends are always there for you.

Moral story

  It was a beautiful, bright day of winter.Lion 'the king of jungle' was sleeping on the soft grass-bed under the sun. By the time a little mouse came there and started playing,running and jumping here and there. The disturbing noise made by him woke up the lion,he saw the mouse and shouted, "You worthless tiny creature.. you dared to wake me up! I will kill you". 


                                         
The little mouse started shivering with fear and said in a weak and trembling voice, "Oh my king,Please forgive me for this mistake, I didn't notice that you were sleeping here,if you forgive me now I promise you that someday I will help you  like a true friend when you need me. 
Lion laughed loudly,"Ha ha ha.. you little mouse..  you are just good for nothing, you will help me in need?This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life,I set you free because you made me laugh". The mouse thanked the lion for his kindness.

                                                                                               
After some days a lion hunter came into the forest and caught the lion in a net.Lion roared with anger but he soon realized that his anger couldn't save him, he cried with pain!By chance the little mouse was passing by,he heard the lion's cry, went near the lion and said,"Don't worry king I will cut the net and will get you out of the net".
Soon the mouse cut the net and the lion was out of it,grateful lion said to the mouse,"Please forgive me my little friend for what I said about you"."Now I have understood that any creature whether it is small or big  has its own importance. You helped me in need ,from now on you will always be my friend".Now the lion and mouse are very good friends.
Moral of the story- A friend in need is a friend indeed
