The Golden Bird

Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom, there lived a king who dreamed of hearing the song of a legendary Golden Bird. This bird, brighter than the sun, sang so sweetly that all who heard it were filled with joy.

The king had three sons: the eldest two were very proud, but the youngest, named Jack, was kind and clever. One day, the king discovered that golden apples from his garden were disappearing. He asked his sons to find out who was stealing them.

The first night, the eldest son tried to watch the garden but fell asleep. The same happened with the second son on the next night. On the third night, it was Jack’s turn. He stayed awake and saw the Golden Bird! He tried to catch it but only managed to grab one of its golden feathers.

The king was amazed by the feather and wanted the bird even more. So, Jack set off on an incredible journey to find it. Along the way, he met a wise fox, who gave him valuable advice: “Do not take the golden cage at the bird’s home.”

When Jack found the Golden Bird, he forgot the fox’s advice and tried to catch it in a golden cage. Alarms rang out, and Jack was captured by the bird’s guardians. They threw him into a dungeon but promised his freedom if he could bring them the Golden Horse, which ran faster than the wind.

This time, Jack listened to the wise fox. He caught the Golden Horse and, with the fox’s help, also rescued the Golden Bird!

But, as Jack was returning home, his envious brothers tricked him. They left him in the woods and took the horse and the bird to their father, claiming they had captured them. However, the Golden Bird and the Golden Horse refused to eat or drink.

Meanwhile, Jack was again helped by the wise fox and reached his kingdom. The moment the Golden Bird saw Jack, it began to sing its joyful song, and the Golden Horse leaped happily. The king realized the truth and praised Jack for his bravery and honesty.

Jack forgave his brothers, and they all learned the value of truth and kindness. As for the wise fox, it revealed that it was a prince under a spell, and Jack’s goodness broke the curse.

And they all lived happily ever after, with the Golden Bird’s song filling their hearts with joy.

Moral of the Story: Kindness and honesty are the keys to true happiness and success.

The Thirsty Crow

On a hot day, a thirsty crow flew around the fields searching for water. But there was none to be found. The crow started feeling weak and lost hope.

Just then, it noticed a water jug under a tree. Excitedly, the crow flew down to see if there was any water inside. And yes, it could see some water!

The crow tried putting its head into the jug, but the jug’s neck was too narrow. Then it tried to push the jug to make the water flow out, but the jug was too heavy.

The crow thought hard for a moment. Then it looked around and saw some pebbles nearby. Suddenly, it got a clever idea!

It started picking up the pebbles one by one and dropping them into the jug. As more and more pebbles fell into the jug, the water level began to rise. Soon, it was high enough for the crow to drink. The crow’s plan had worked!

Moral of the story: If you think and work hard, you can find a solution to any problem.

The Wise Man

A wise man used to give advice to anyone who approached him. Over the years, he noticed that people had been complaining about the same problems to him.

One day, he told a joke, which made everyone laugh out loud.

He told them the same joke after a few minutes, and only a few of them smiled.

The third time he told the same joke, no one laughed.

He smiled and said, “You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?”

Moral of the Story: You won’t solve your problems if you worry; you’ll just waste your time and energy.

Nature is the Best Teacher

There was a naughty kid who was rude. His parents were tired of his bad habits. They decide to leave him with a wise old man for a week.

The old man told the kid he will only be allowed to eat, play, and speak if he completes the daily tasks given to him.

They went into a forest and the man asked the kid to pluck the grass as his first task. With an arrogant smile, he easily did it.

The next day, the man asked him to uproot a sapling as a second task, he did as told.

The next day, the man asked him to uproot a shrub, with much struggle he was able to complete the task.

Last day, the man wanted the kid to uproot a fully grown tree. The kid looked at the tree and said, “I can’t even try, it is so big. This is impossible.”

The old man replied, “Exactly my dear, same is true for your bad habits. If you let them grow, they become difficult to remove.”

Moral of the story: Stop your kids from doing wrong at the young age. Don’t let their bad turn into deep-rooted habits.
