1) English Moral Story of- The
Tortoise and The Bird
Once upon a time, a tortoise was resting under a tree on which, a bird had built its nest. The tortoise mocked the bird and said, “ Ew! Your home is so shabby. It is made of broken twigs, it has no roof, and looks raw. What’s worse is that you had to build it yourself. I think my house, which is my shell, is much better than your pathetic nest”. The bird confidently therefore replied, “Yes, it is made of broken sticks, looks shabby and is open to the elements of nature. It is crude and raw, but I built it, and I like it.”.
I guess it’s just like any other nest, but not better than mine. said the tortoise mockingly. “You must be jealous of my shell, though.”, he added. The bird remained calm for a while and then replied, “On the contrary, my home has space for my family and friends; your shell does not let anyone else stay in it other than you. You may have a better house. But I have a better home”.

The king told the Brahmin that if he would stand in the nearly frozen pond without any clothes for the whole night, he may get a reward. The poor Brahmin had no choice. The whole night he was inside the pond, shivering. He returned to the durbar the next day to receive his reward.
The king asked “Tell me Oh poor Brahmin! How could you withstand all that cold along the night and still be alive” The innocent Brahmin replied “I could see a faintly glowing light a kilometer away and I withstood with that ray of light” Akbar got angry and refused to pay the Brahmin his reward saying that he had absorbed the warmth from the faint light and withstood the cold which will be considered as cheating.
The poor Brahmin could not argue with him and so returned disappointed and bare-handed. Birbal tried explaining the king but the king was angry and stubborn hence, in no mood to listen. Thereafter, Birbal stopped coming to the durbar and sent a messenger to the king saying that he would come to the court only after cooking his khichdi. After that Birbal did not turn up for 5 days, the king got curious and he himself went to Birbal’s house to see what he was doing.
Birbal was sitting there and in front of him was a pot tied one meter above the fire. Akbar was amused and questioned him “How will the khichdi get cooked with the fire one meter away? What is wrong with you Birbal” Birbal, cooking the khichdi and with a grin in his face replied “Oh my great King of Hindustan! When it is possible for a person to receive warmth from a light that is a kilo meter away, then this khichdi should be cooked very easily as its just one meter” Akbar understood the mistake he made. After that, He called the poor Brahmin and rewarded him 5000 gold coins.

A long time ago, there lived a beautiful woman called Ramani in Gantodanagar. She was a learned lady with a good amount of knowledge of different fine art genres. One day, because of her pride and arrogance about her abilities, she put a hoarding outside her house that said, “ I will give a reward of 1000 gold coins to whosoever defeats me in humour, wit and knowledge of ancient texts.” This became an issue of prestige for all the scholars in the region. Many of them were offended and tried to defeat Ramani in the war of words, but none of them succeeded.
Days passed like this. One morning, a vendor happened to pass by her house selling firewood. The man was shouting at the top of his voice, “Firewood…Strong firewood…. Is there anyone Who wants my strong and long lasting firewood?” The Vendor was shouting continuously and had a shrill and high pitched voice which irritated Ramani. She stormed out of the house and called the vendor, “Oh vendor! Come here! I will buy your firewood. Tell me the how much money do you want! Just stop shouting.”
The vendor replied, “Madam, I will not sell this for money. I will readily give you all the firewood if you give me a handful grain for it.” Ramani promised him to give what he wanted and ordered him to dump the load in the backyard.
The vendor said, “I need a handful grain, Madam. Do you understand me clearly?” Ramani yelled at the vendor, “You are asking me whether or not I have understood what a handful of grains mean! Do not try and outsmart me! I am the most learned woman in this entire District. How dare you ask me a question like this?” The persistent vendor said, “Madam, I pity you! You really do not understand what I want. If you are not able to give what I want, you should pay me one thousand gold coins and wipe the invitation hoarding on the compound wall.” Ramani was infuriated. She asked angrily, “What nonsense are you saying?”
The vendor said, “This is no nonsense. I told you what I wanted and you could not provide me with it. Now if you cannot pay the price, you must give me one thousand gold coins for you have clearly failed to understand what I meant. And considering that, I have defeated you in the war of words.” A heated argument started between the two and then Ramani decided to approach the provincial Court of Law for justice.
She presented her argument in front of the judge, “My Lord! This firewood vendor is crazy and is talking nonsense. He asked for a handful of grains in lieu of his load of firewood. I agreed to give him that but he keeps saying that I do not know what it means and wants me to wipe off the board in front of the house. I plead for justice!” The judge asked the vendor what is this argument all about. He humbly replied, “Sir, I informed her beforehand that the load of firewood would cost her a handful grain.
I actually wanted one grain that could fill the hand. If she cannot understand this much, she has no right to put up that hoarding in front of her house.”
Ramani was outwitted by the firewood vendor and the verdict was given in favour of the vendor. Ramani was ordered to pay him one thousand gold coins and she also had to take down the hoarding from her wall. That witty vendor was none other than Tenali Raman. He was aware of the situation in that district and Ramani’s arrogance and pride, and had thus taken disguise as a firewood vendor to teach her a lesson

They went grumbling back down the hill. The villagers felt angry but overlooked the situation as just a prank. Later, the boy sang out again, “Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep” To his surprise, all the villagers once again came running to help the boy.

The first boy demanded, “Give me the nut. It”s mine. I saw it first”. The other boy replied in disgust, “It’s mine. I took it first”. This lead to a quarrel between these two little boys. Just then a tall boy who was passing by saw them quarrelling and decided to do something. Upon seeing the quarrel between the boys, he said, “Give me the nut and I’ll settle your quarrel.” He split the nut into two parts. After taking out the fruit seed, he gave one half-shell to one boy and the other half-shell to the other. He cunningly put the fruit seed into his mouth and said, “This is for settling your quarrel”.
Moral of the Story: When two people quarrel someone else gains.
