Honesty is the Best Policy
There lived a woodcutter in a village. One day he was cutting wood near a pond.
Suddenly, his axe fell into the pond. The pond was very deep. The woodcutter did
not know how to swim or dive. So, was sitting there sadly.
Then a wonderful thing happened. A beautiful fairy appeared before the
woodcutter. She asked him in a sweet voice. “ Why are you so sad? Why are you
not cutting wood?” The woodcutter replied sadly, “ My axe has fallen into the
pond . I can’t cut wood now.” The fairy then showed him an axe made of silver.
She asked him if it was his axe. The woodcutter saw the axe and said, “ It’s not
my axe.” The fairy showed him another axe made of gold. She asked, “Is this the
axe that you lost?” The woodcutter said, “No, it’s not. My axe is made of iron. It
was old,” The fairy showed him the lost axe with a wooden handle. The
woodcutter then said happily that it was his axe. The fairy become very pleased
and give him the gold and the silver axes too. Then the woodcutter became rich
and began to live happily. Thus the woodcutter got the reward of his honesty. So,
we can say that honesty is always rewarded.

Slow but steady wins the race

Once there lived a hare and a tortoise. The hare was proud of its swift foot and he
used to tease the tortoise for its slow pace. One day the hare said to the tortoise,
“You have as many legs as I have. But I am sure, you cannot run as fast as I can.
Perhaps, you cannot run at all.” The tortoise became very angry. He answered
quietly, “You can run quite fast, no doubt, But I think you can talk even faster
than you can run.”
Than the tortoise made a proposal to run a race with the hare. The accepted the
proposal gladly. On a nice morning the began. Other beasts of the forest were
invited to watch the race. After running for a while, the hare reached near the
goal. Now he thought that the tortoise would not be able to run past him. The
tortoise was lagging far behind. Thinking this, the hare wanted to have a little rest
and fell asleep.
But the tortoise continued running. He came near the sleeping hare and ran past
him. As a result, he came near the destination while the hare was sleeping. In the
meantime, the hare woke up and spared no pains to catch up the tortoise but he
failed. Winning the race the tortoise laughed a hearty laugh and the hare became
ashamed of his proud speech. It proves, “slow but steady wins the race.” So, we
can say that if w do our duties slowly but regularly, we will become successful in
our life.

A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
There were two friends. They lived in a certain village. They promised that they
would help each other at the time of danger. One day they were passing though a
deep forest. Suddenly a bear came in front of them. So both of them were afraid
and they did not know what to do. One of them knew how to climb up a tree. He
climbed up a nearby tree and left his friend alone.
The other friend was fatty and did not know how to climb up a tree. He gave up
the hope of his life. But suddenly an idea came to his mind. He knew that a bear
does not touch a dead body. So he flat on the ground like a dead person. He
stopped breathing also. The bear came near him. It smelt him all over the body.
The bear thought him to be a dead ma. So, it did not touch him. It smelt him all
over the body. The bear thought him to be a dead man. So, it did not touch him. It
went away slowly and gently.
The friend who was on the tree saw everything. he got down from the tree. He
went to his friend and asked him eagerly, “oh! Dear, what did the bear whisper to
you ear?” In reply the friend said, “It advised me not trust a false friend. It also
said that don’t mix with the friend who leaves you in time of danger. He’s not a
friend indeed.” So, we should choose our friend wisely.

Grasp All, Lose All

Once there lived a farmer in a village. He had a wonderful goose and it laid a
golden egg every morning.
One day he hit upon a plan that he would get all the eggs of gold from its belly by
cutting it apart. Then he would sell the eggs and become rich at once.
The farmer told his wife about his plan. His wife was wise but not greedy. She
said to her husband, “Don’t be greedy. Be happy with what we’ve.”
But the farmer did listen to his wife. His cut the goose’s belly to get all the eggs
at a time. But alas! He found no eggs in it. Thus the greedy farmer lost his useful
goose. Then he understand the lesson, “grasp all, lose all,” So, we should control
our greediness.
Batazid’s Love for His Mother
You must have heard the name of Bayazid Bostami. He was famous for devotion
to his mother. One night he was reading. His mother was ill. All on a sudden his
mother woke up. She felt very thirsty. She told her son to give her a glass of
water. Bayazid went to the kitchen to bring water. But the Picher was empty. He
decided to fetch water from a distant fountain. He went alone to the fountain with
the pitcher and came back home with the pitcher full of water. In the meantime,

Where There is a Will, There is a way

Once upon a time on a hot summer, a crow felt very thirsty. It flew to and fro
search of water. But it could not find water anywhere. Suddenly it saw a pitcher
of water at some distance. The pitcher had some water but it was beyond the
reach of the crow. It tried its best to drink water but its bill could not reach into
it. It became very sad and hopeless.
Suddenly the crow saw some small pieces of stone near the jar. A good idea came
into its head. It then picked up the stones and dropped them into the jar one by
one. As a result, the water came up to the brim. Then the crow drank water from
it to its heart’s content and flew away with a joyful mind.
In fact where there is a will, there is a way. So we should not be hopeless. Rather
we should try every possible way to meet our utmost need. And then success will
come automatically.

A Fox without a Tail

Once there lived a very clever fox in a jungle. One day while walking through the
jungle, he fell into a trap and lost his tail. Without a tail he looked very strange
and he felt ashamed. He also felt very unhappy and said.
But the fox was very cunning and he hit upon a plan. He invited all the foxes to
come to a meeting. All of them came.
Then the fox said, “My dear friends, listen me please. I’ve invented that, our tails
are useless. They are not necessary. They look ugly and are always dirty. So, we
should cut off our tails.”
All the foxes listened to the cunning fox. One of the wise old foxes was also
listing. He said, “My friend, your plan is very interesting but foolish. As you’ve
lost your tail, you want us to cut off our tails too.”
At this the fox without a tail felt ashamed and left the place quickly.

Unity is Strength
Once there was an old farmer in a certain village. He had four sons. They were
very fond of quarrelling and used to quarrel among themselves. One day the
farmer told his sons to bring some sticks and tie them in a bundle. He told them to
break the bundle. They tried but could not break the bundle. Each of them told his
father that it was quite impossible to break it because the bundle was vary strong.
The farmer was an intelligent and experienced man. He untied the bundle. He
then gave one stick to each of them and asked them to break it. This time each
son could easily break the stick.

The sons got curious to know the reason of those activities. They said to their
father, “Why have you made us do these jobs, dear father? What good will come
of it?”
He explained to them that when the sticks were tied in a bundle, it was impossible
for them to beak the sticks. But when the stick were made separate from one
another, it was very easy to break the sticks. But when the sticks were made
separate from one another, it was very easy to break them. The sons realized
about their father’s activity.
Through the fact, the farmer wanted to teach his sons that they were like the
sticks. When they would be strongly united(tied), nobody could harm them. So
they should always remain united as the proverb goes “Unity is strength.”

A Liar Cowboy/Nobody Believes a Liar

Once there was a cowboy. He was very wicked. He used to be fooled others by
telling lines with people. He used to graze a flock of sheep near a forest. It was
not far from his village. One day he wanted to make a fun with the villages. So,
he began to shout, “Wolf! Wolf! Help! Help!”
The villagers heard his cry and ran to help him. But when they came near him,
they found no wolf there and the boy laughed at them. The villagers were fooled
by the cunning boy. So, they went away.
After a few days the boy made the same fun. The villagers came again to help
him but found no wolf there.
But one day a wolf really fell upon the began to kill his sheep. The boy became
very afraid and cried. “Wolf! Wolf! Help! Help! A wolf is in my sheep herd!
Come and help me!” The villagers heard him but they thought that it was his
another fun. Nobody could trust him. No one came to help him. The wolf feasted
on the sheep and finally killed the boy. So, it is very unwise to make fun by
telling lies.

Grapes are Sour

Once a hungry fox was searching for food in a forest. After a while he came to a
vineyard. he was very tempted at the sight of the ripe grapes hanging very high.
He thought to himself and wished to have a delicious meal of the ripe grapes.
He could not resist his temptation to have the taste of the ripe grapes. So he
jumped and jumped to reach the grapes. But the bunches of the ripe grapes were
too high for the fox to reach.
The poor fox became very tired as he repeatedly and ceaselessly jumped to reach
the bunches of the ripe grapes. So, he went away dejectedly and broken heartedly.
He consoled himself by murmuring that the grapes were sour and so he did not
have them.

Sheikh Saadi’s Wit
Sheikh Saadi was a great poet in Iran. He used to lead a very simple life. Once on
his way to the court of the kin o Iran, he took shelter in a noble man’s house for a
night. He was then in a very simple dress. The rich man did not treat him well.
The treatment he received in the rich man’s house offended him. But he did not
say anything to him.
On the next day Sheikh Saadi went to the court of the king and was received with
honour. He stayed there for a few days. He composed some beautiful poems and
entertained the king and his courtiers. He received rich gifts from the king. He put
on a very rich and ornamented dress. Thus he was returning to his village. On his
way h again visited that noble man’s house. This time, the rich man was surprised
to see Sheikh Saadi in a rich ornamental dress. He was delighted to see the
change in Sheikh Saadi and treated him with the best of the food and comfort.
While eating, he was surprised to see the rich delicious food and understood the
rich man’s attitude. Then Sheikh Saadi instead of eating the food started putting
them into the pockets of his rich cloth. This surprised the rich man. “Why are you
putting them into the pockets of your dress? said the rich man. “I am doing so
because these foods are meat for my dress, not for me”, said Saadi. The rich man
realized his earlier folly and became ashamed. So, we should not judge anybody
through their dresses.
