The Class Topper

The Class Topper

Raghav was the son of a cobbler. He loved to go to school and learn new things. During the night he worked hard with his father and in the day, he worked hard in his school.

One day his teacher announced in the class that there was a test next week. After the teacher had gone, they started talking about who can top the class. “I would love to try, work hard and top the class,” Raghav said. The whole class started laughing.

“You are a cobbler’s son, you cannot top the class,” they said. Raghav ignored them and studied all week long and gave his best on the test.

A few days later the results came and the teacher announced that Raghav had topped the class. The whole class realized their mistake and apologized to Raghav. Raghav helped a lot of his classmates with studies and they helped him too. All of them were happy.

Moral: Never judge or underestimate someone. Learn and grow together.

Bread and Butter

Bread and Butter

Meena and Teena were sisters and walked every day to school. Their mother always gave them Bread and Butter in their tiffin.  Every day while returning home they saw a lady sitting on the footpath.

Meena always saved some of her Bread for the lady and gave it to her. “Why do you give your bread to her Meena? She’s dirty.” One day Teena asked Meena. Meena smiled and said “We have everything we want, she doesn’t, so I help her. She likes bread and butter too.”

Their mom listened to their conversation and hugged them. “That’s right! We should help others and be kind. When you make others smile, God smiles at you.” She said.

Moral: Don’t look down upon the needy, help them.
