1) The Elephants And The Mice
In an earthquake-hit village abandoned by humans, a colony of mice lived. Near the village was a lake, which was used by a herd of elephants.
The elephants would have to cross the village to go to the lake. Thus, one day, as they walked through, they trampled a lot of mice.
The leader of the mice met with the elephants and requested them to take a different route to the lake. He promised them that their favor would be returned is the time of their need.
The elephants laughed. How could such small mice help these large elephants in any way? But then, they agreed to take a different route.
Not so long after, the mice heard that hunters had caught the herd of elephants and were tied in nets.
Immediately, they rushed to rescue the elephants. They gnawed through the nets and ropes with their sharp teeth.
The leader of the elephants repeatedly thanked the mice for their help!
Moral of the story
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Make sure you help your friends out whenever they need it. They should always be able to count on you.
2). The Cat And The Mice
A long time ago, the mice had all gathered together to discuss their biggest issue!
A cat who was chasing and catching the mice!
“It is chaos!” said a mouse angrily.
“We need to find a solution that is warns of the cat!” said the other.
“Can we decide soon before the cat spots us,” said another worried mouse.
An old mouse raised its paw and said: “Let’s find a quick solution!”
The mice soon started to discuss and shout out ideas.
“We will have a watchtower to warn us!” said one
“We should all go in groups to avoid being eaten by the cat!” said another.
“I have an idea,” said another. “Let’s tie a bell around the cat’s neck! So when the cat strolls around, the sound of the bell will warn us!”
All the mice agreed. This was the best idea!
“All right! So, who will bell the cat?” asked the old mouse.
There was silence! Soon, one by one, all the mice ran away quietly until only the old mouse remained.
Moral of the story
Giving solutions or having ideas is fine, but it actions which defines the solution or idea.
3) The Lion And The Mouse
One day in the jungle, the lion lay asleep. A little mouse playing about runs up and down on the sleeping lion.
“Argh!” roared the lion and held up the squeaking little mouse.
“Please let me go! Let me go! I will help you one day for your kindness today!” squealed the little mouse.
“You’re too tiny to help me! Off you go,” said the lion, amused as the little mouse ran away.
A few days go by when the little mouse heard a roar: “Help me!”
The little mouse was scared, but it walked on and on until it came across the lion caught in the net!
“I see you need my help now!” it said.
“Please help me!” groaned the lion in pain.
The little one immediately chewed across the net until the lion was free.
From that day on, the lion and the mouse remained friends!
