I am stinging your back." The turtle said to scorpion: "Why are you doing this as we are very good friends?" The scorpion replied laughing: "I cannot help it as it is my habit to sting."

The Lion and the fox Story

Once upon a time there lived a lion in a dense forest. One morning his wife told him that his breath was bad and unpleasant. The lion became embarrassed and angry upon hearing it. He wanted to check this fact with others. So, he called three others outside his cave.

First came the sheep. The Lion opening his mouth wide said, “Sheep, tell me if my mouth smells bad?” The sheep thought that the lion wanted an honest answer, so the sheep said, “Yes, Friend. There seems to be something wrong with your breath”. This plain speak did not go well with the lion. He pounced on the sheep, killing it.

Then the lion called the wolf and said, “What do you think? Do I have a bad breath?” The wolf saw what happened to the sheep. He wanted to be very cautious in answering a question. So, the wolf said, “Who says that Your breath is unpleasant. It’s as sweet as the smell of roses”. When the lion heard the reply, he roared in an anger and immediately attacked the wolf and killed it. “The flatterer!” growled the lion.

Finally, came the turn of the fox. The lion asked him the same question. The fox was well aware of the fate of the sheep and the wolf. So he coughed and cleared his throat again and again and then said, “Oh Dear Friend, for the last few days, I have been having a very bad cold. Due to this, I can’t smell anything, pleasant or unpleasant”.

The lion spared the fox’s life.

Moral:  Do not involve yourself in a bad company or a bad situation else you may end up getting punished for no fault of yours.  Sometimes, it’s wise to stay away from certain situations.

The Monkey and the Two Cats

Once upon a time, two cats lived together. One day, they found a delicious piece of bread. Both cats wanted the larger share, and soon they began arguing.

“It belongs to me!” said one cat.

“No, I should get the bigger piece!” said the other.

They argued and argued but could not decide how to divide the bread fairly.

A clever monkey was watching them from a nearby tree. He saw an opportunity and walked over.

“Why are you fighting?” asked the monkey.

The two cats explained their problem.

“I can help you divide the bread equally,” said the monkey. “Let me be the judge.”

The cats agreed and handed him the bread.

The monkey broke the bread into two pieces. But one piece looked slightly bigger than the other.

“This isn't fair,” said the monkey. He took a bite from the larger piece.

Now the other piece looked bigger, so he took a bite from that one too.

He continued biting from one piece and then the other, pretending that he was trying to make them equal.

Before long, the bread became smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

The two cats stared at the monkey in surprise.

“Where is our bread?” they asked.

The monkey smiled and replied, “The payment for my hard work is the bread!”

The cats realized that their greed and arguing had allowed the monkey to take everything.

They walked away sadly, having learned an important lesson.

Moral of the Story

When you fight over what you have, someone else may take advantage of your disagreement. It is better to share fairly than to let greed divide you.
