Monkey and Crocodile
Once there lived a monkey on a rose-apple tree which was full of fruits on the banks of a river. One day a crocodile came out of the river and asked the monkey to give him some fruits as he was very hungry. The monkey did so. The crocodile happily ate the fruits and went back to the other side of the river so his wife.
The crocodile told his wife about the taste of the fruits. His wife was very greedy, Humm! if the fruits are so tasty and the monkey eats them every day I’m sure his heart must be very tasty. Dear, bring his heart to me. The crocodile not knowing what to do then went to the monkey.
Hey friend! My wife has invited you to a grand party why don’t you come with me? The monkey accepted his invitation and climbed behind the crocodile and they started their journey.
They were a half way when the crocodile could not hide the truth any longer so he told the monkey the true reason why he was taking him. The monkey was very clever he immediately replied
“oh, dear friend! you should have told me this before I left my heart on the branch of the tree if you take me back I will give you my heart.”
Both of them went back to the tree. The monkey jumped off and hurried up the tree. The monkey said “go not to your wicked wife and tell her that her husband is the biggest fool in the world.
Moral: Do not encourage your greediness.
The Three Fish
Once upon a time there lived three big fish in a lake. One of them was wise he was very careful in his thought. Another was intelligent and resourceful but the third fish always believe in fate.
One day when the wise fish was leaping about in the water he heard a fisherman say “Ho Ho! This lake is full of good fish let us fish here tomorrow we can earn a lot of money.”
Hearing this the wise fish went to the other two fish and told them what he heard. He advised them to leave the place immediately.
he intelligent fish was not ready to leave, let the fisherman come I will find a way to escape. The second fish, I cannot leave this place where I was born, whatever happens, is my fate. The wise fish left the place immediately.
The next day the fisherman came and cast their net. The two friends, who did not leave the lake were caught in the net with other fish.
The intelligent fish pretended to be dead so the fishermen threw him out along with the other fish. The third one who believed in fate. Kept jumping up and down. One of the fishermen saw him and struck him dead.
Moral: We should not believe in fate
