                      The Stork and the Crab


An old stork lived by the side of a fish pond. He was too old to catch fish anymore, so he had to come up with a plan to get food. Suddenly, he had a wicked idea.


He stood in the water with a sad face. Seeing him, a kind crab crawled up and asked,

“Why do you look so sad?”




The stork sighed and said,

“I’ve heard that this pond is going to dry up soon! I have to fly away to another pond to survive.”


The crab, feeling worried, asked the stork to help save the fish and other creatures in the pond as well.


The stork pretended to be kind and agreed. He told the fish,

“I will carry you to a new pond, one by one, in my beak.”




Every day, the stork would take a couple of fish in his beak and fly away. But instead of taking them to another pond, he would fly far away, land in a secret spot, and eat them! He did this many times.


The Crab’s Turn 🦀


One day, it was the crab’s turn to be carried to the new pond. As they flew, the crab looked down but could not see any pond. Instead, he saw a pile of fish bones on the ground!


The crab immediately realized what was happening. Furious, he used his sharp claws to grab the stork’s throat tightly.




The stork struggled to break free, but the crab held on tightly. Soon, the stork fell to the ground, lifeless.


The crab then crawled back to his pond and told the other pond creatures the truth about the greedy stork.


Moral of the Story 📖


➡ Greed will always lead to destruction.

➡ If you trick others for selfish gain, you will eventually face the consequences.

A Bundle of Sticks Once upon a time, three  neighbors  lived in a village. Each of them had a  field , but they all faced the same problem—their crops were  infested with pests  and  wilting . Every day, they tried different ways to  save their crops . • The  first farmer  used a  scarecrow  to keep pests away. • The  second farmer  sprayed  pesticides  on his field. • The  third farmer  built a  fence  around his field. However, none of their methods  worked . The Village Head’s Lesson Seeing their  struggles , the village head—an  old and wise farmer —called them for a meeting. He gave each farmer  a single stick  and asked them to  break it . The farmers easily snapped the sticks in half. Then, the old farmer gave each of them  a bundle of three sticks  and asked them to break it. This time,  no one could break the bundle . The villag...

  Sonu, Monu, and the Ringing Doorbell One afternoon, Sonu and Monu were in a playful mood and decided to have some fun by pranking others. When everyone was taking their afternoon nap, they quietly sneaked outside and rang the doorbell of their neighbor’s house before running away. The neighbor opened the door, but to her surprise, no one was there. She looked around and then shut the door. Giggling, Sonu and Monu repeated the prank. But this time, the neighbor got angry. She opened the door and shouted, “Who is doing this mischief?” She banged the door shut in frustration and went back inside. “What fun!” Sonu laughed. Little did they know, Grandma had been watching them all along. Instead of scolding them, she decided to teach them a lesson in her own way. A Lesson from Grandma The next day, Grandma told Sonu and Monu, “I am going out to buy some things, and your mother is also not home. Remember, do not open the door for strangers.” Saying this, she left. Sonu and Monu sat down...
