The Ant and The Grasshopper

Once upon a time there was a garden, where lived an ant and a grasshopper who were very good friends. It was springtime and the grasshopper was having a lot of fun playing, singing, and dancing in the sun. But the ant was hardworking. It was collecting food grains and storing them in its house. 

The grasshopper did not understand why the ant was doing so and said, “Hey,’ Ant! Why don’t you come outside and play with me?” The ant replied, “I cannot. I am storing food for the winter when there won’t be anything to eat!” The grasshopper only laughed at the ant and said, “Why are you worrying now? There is plenty of food!” and continued to play, while the ant worked hard. When winter came, the grasshopper did not find a single grain of food to eat. It began to starve and feel very weak. The grasshopper saw how the hardworking ant had plenty of food to eat and realized its foolishness.

Bear and the Bees Story

Once upon a time there was a bear living in a dense forest. He came across a log where a swarm of bees had nested to make their honey. As he snooped around, a single little bee flew out of the log to protect the swarm. Knowing that the bear would eat all the honey, the little bee stung him sharply on the nose and then disappeared into the hollow log.

The bear lost his temper in an instant, and sprang upon the log in his tooth and claws, to destroy the nest. Immediately the whole bees came out of the log and began to sting the bear from head to heel. The bear saved himself by running and diving into a pool of water.

Boys and the Frog Story

Once upon a time there lived some boys in a small village. There was a pond in the end of their village. One day they were playing at the edge of a pond in which lived a family of frogs. The boys amused themselves by throwing stones into the pond so as to make them skip on top of the water. They were very happy to doing these types of naughtiness.

The stones were flying solid and fast and the boys were enjoying themselves very much; but the poor frogs in the pond were trembling with fear. Some of them already died with this hard stone.
At last one of the frogs, the youngest and bravest, put his head out of the water, and said, “Oh my dear friends please stop your ruthless play! Though it may be fun for you, it means death to us!”

Moral: Always think whether your fun is the cause of another’s unhappiness. If yes then stop this fun.

Wolf and the Crane: Short Story

Once upon a time there lived a greedy and cunning wolf in a forest. One day, while he was having his dinner, a bone got stuck into his throat. He could get it neither up nor down, and of course he could not eat a thing. Naturally that was an awful state of affairs for a greedy Wolf.

The wolf began purring with pain. The pain was unbearable. The wolf got worried and began thinking, what will happen if the bone doesn't come out. I won't be able to eat anything. I will starve to death."

Suddenly he recalled that there was a crane that lived on the banks of a nearby lake. He immediately went to the crane and said, "My friend, I've a bone stuck deep into my throat. If you could please pull it out of my throat with your long beak, I will reward you very handsomely said the Wolf.

The crane saw his pitiable condition and agreed to help him. He put him long beak, and in the process, half of his neck also, deep into the throat of the wolf and pulled the bone out. The wolf got relaxed and started walk away. Hello, “will you kindly give me the reward you promised?” said the crane.


“What!” scrambled the Wolf, whirling around? “Haven’t you got it? Isn’t it enough that I let you take your head out of my mouth without snapping it off?”
