🦊🦩 The Fox and the Geese
Once upon a time, there was a fox who stumbled upon a flock of geese. The geese, seeing the fox, began to cackle in fear. The fox, with a sly grin, told them, “Why are you making such a noise and weeping? I have come to take your lives.”
The geese, in their distress, pleaded with the fox for one final grace. They asked the fox to let them pray for one last hour, so they might prepare for their end in peace. The fox, thinking he had plenty of time, agreed smugly to their request.
The geese, lined up in a circle, began their “prayers”. However, instead of praying, they stretched their necks into the air and began to cackle loudly. They continued to do so without stopping.
The fox, growing impatient, urged them to be done with their prayers. But the geese argued that they were not yet finished and must continue praying without interruption, as was their custom.
Meanwhile, as the geese continued their noisy “praying,” their racket reached the ears of some nearby hunters. Alerted by the cacophony, the hunters arrived with their dogs. Seeing the danger, the fox fled, lamenting that he had let his meal slip away because he had allowed the geese to trick him with their prayers.
Moral of The Story
the wise and cunning can also be outwitted. The geese, through their clever ruse, managed to save themselves from the fox.
This fable, like many of Grimm’s stories, imparts a lesson about cleverness and resourcefulness in the face of danger.

🧔🏻🐘The Blind Men and the Elephant
The Blind Mind and the Elephant audio story
Once upon a time, in a distant village, there lived six blind men who heard that a strange creature, called an elephant, had been brought to town. None of them were aware of its shape and form.
Out of curiosity, they said, “We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable.” So, they sought it out, and when they found it, they groped about it.
The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, “This being is like a thick snake.”
For another one, whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. “An elephant is like a fan,” he said.
As for another person, whose hands were upon its leg, said, “The elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk.”
The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said, “Elephant is a wall.”
Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. “The elephant is like a rope,” he declared.
Lastly, another felt its tusk, stating, “The elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear.”
In this way, they discussed what the elephant was like, each insisting on his own perception. They began to argue, shouting loudly to support their own views. A wise man was passing by and heard the commotion. He stopped and asked them, “What is the matter?”
They told him, “We cannot agree on what the elephant is like.” Each one of them told what he thought the elephant was like. The wise man calmly explained, “All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling it differently is because each one of you touched a different part of the elephant. So, actually, the elephant has all the features you mentioned.”
Moral of the Story
Different perspectives can each hold a part of the truth, and only through shared understanding can the full picture be realized.
This story teaches us that there may be some truth to what someone says. Often we have a partial view of reality. It reminds us to respect and listen to different perspectives. The blind men’s argument could have been avoided if they had talked and listened to each other, combining their experiences to understand the full truth.

🗿🗽The Happy Prince Short Story
Once upon a time, in a splendid city, there stood a magnificent statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded with fine gold, had sapphires for eyes, and a ruby glowed on his sword hilt.
The Happy Prince had never known sorrow in his lifetime. But now, high above the city, he saw all the misery and ugliness of his city, and tears flowed from his sapphire eyes.
One night, a little Swallow flew over the city. He was en route to Egypt but decided to rest between the feet of the Happy Prince.
“Why are you crying?” chirped the Swallow, surprised to see a statue cry.
“I see the suffering of my people and cannot help but weep,” the Prince replied. “Will you be my messenger and take the ruby from my sword to a poor seamstress whose child is sick?”
Touched by the Prince’s kindness, the Swallow agreed. He took the ruby and dropped it into the seamstress’s lap.
The next night, the Prince asked the Swallow to take one of his sapphire eyes to a struggling playwright. The Swallow did as asked, though he grew sadder, knowing the Prince was going blind.
On the third night, the Prince requested his other eye be given to a match girl who had lost her matches and was afraid to go home empty-handed.
“But you will be blind,” protested the Swallow.
“Do as I ask,” implored the Prince.
So, the Swallow plucked out the Prince’s other eye and took it to the match girl.
Now, the Happy Prince was blind, and the Swallow, moved by his generosity, vowed to stay with him forever.
The Swallow told the Prince of the places he had seen, and the Prince told stories of the joys and sorrows of his people. The Swallow took off the gold leaf covering the Prince, piece by piece, and gave it to the poor.
Eventually, winter came. The Swallow grew weaker, but he stayed with the Prince, his friend.
Finally, the Swallow died at the Prince’s feet, and at that moment, the Prince’s lead heart broke in two.
The next day, the townsfolk, seeing the now dull and unattractive statue, decided to melt it down. But the broken lead heart did not melt. Nor did they find the dead Swallow.
God, from His high heavens, spoke to His angels, “Bring me the two most precious things in the city.”
The angels brought Him the lead heart and the dead Swallow. God smiled and said, “In my garden of paradise, this little bird shall sing forever, and in my city of gold, the Happy Prince shall praise me.”
Moral of the Story
The moral of “The Happy Prince” by Oscar Wilde is that true happiness is found in selfless acts of kindness and compassion towards others. It teaches that material wealth and beauty are less important than empathy and generosity in alleviating the suffering of those in need

👱🏻♂The Saucy Boy 👦
In a tiny cottage in a small village lived a naughty boy known for his saucy remarks. One day, his mother, tired of his cheekiness, decided it was time for a lesson.
“Off you go to the world and learn some manners!”. She declared. With a mischievous grin, the boy packed his things and set off on his adventure.
The boy hadn’t walked far when he met an old lady on the road. “Good day, Mother,” he said with a sly smile. “You’re so hunched, you could mix the batter in your hump!”
“Oh, you saucy boy! Your tongue will get you in trouble one day!” the old lady scolded, shaking her finger.
But the boy just laughed and continued on his way until he reached the king’s castle. There, he boldly marched up to the king. “Your Highness,” he said, “I’ve heard your knights are brave, but I bet I can be cheekier than any of them are courageous!”
Amused by the boy’s audacity, the king chuckled. “If you can prove it, I’ll reward you with a bag of gold. But if you fail, I’ll have you thrown in the dungeon.”
The boy accepted the challenge and soon became renowned in the kingdom for his saucy words. He made the princess laugh and the queen gasp. He even teased the king’s horse for having four legs but still being unable to put a log on the fire!
Finally, the king declared, “You truly are the sauciest boy in the land!” and gave him a bag of gold.
With his pockets heavy, the boy returned home. His mother greeted him, astonished. “My son, have you learned nothing from your journey?”
The boy winked and handed her the gold. “I’ve learned that a saucy tongue can be more precious than gold, but don’t worry, Mother. With this, I’ll buy us a better life, and yes, perhaps I’ll be a little less saucy.”
And from that day on, the boy was still playful but knew well when to let his sauciness shine and when to keep it in check, for every word has its place and time.
💥Moral of The Story💥
“The Saucy Boy” by Hans Christian Anderson teaches us that while cleverness and wit can be charming, knowing when to use them is the true mark of wisdom

🎭The Emperor’s New Clothes
In a grand kingdom, where majestic banners fluttered in the breeze, there lived an Emperor who loved nothing more than new clothes. He spent all his time and money on being finely dressed, caring little for anything else.
One day, two cunning weavers arrived in the kingdom. They boasted, “We have invented an extraordinary fabric, invisible to anyone who is unfit for their job or hopelessly stupid.”
The Emperor, curious and a bit anxious about his own wisdom, commanded, “Create for me a suit from this magical cloth. I must be the finest dressed in all the land!”
The weavers set to work, pretending to weave the non-existent fabric. They asked for the finest silk and the purest gold thread, which they pocketed, showing the empty loom to the Emperor’s advisors.
The advisors, not wanting to appear foolish or unfit for their jobs, praised the invisible fabric. “It’s magnificent!” they lied.
The Emperor himself visited, and seeing nothing, felt a wave of panic. But, fearing he might be deemed unworthy, he too exclaimed, “What splendid robes! Truly the work of genius!”
The day of the grand parade arrived, and the weavers presented the Emperor with his new ‘clothes’. He dressed in thin air, and paraded before his subjects, who had heard of the magical fabric. Not wanting to seem unfit or stupid, they all applauded and praised the invisible robes.
Amidst the crowd, a young child, too innocent to understand the pretense, pointed and said loudly, “But he isn’t wearing anything at all!”
The word spread like wildfire, and soon the whole crowd was murmuring, “He’s got nothing on!”
The Emperor realized the truth but was too proud to admit his folly. He thought, “I must carry on till the end.” And so, he continued the procession, prouder than ever, in his invisible robes.
From that day, the Emperor learned the value of honesty and the folly of vanity. The kingdom remembered the tale of the Emperor’s invisible robes as a lesson in humility and the courage to speak the truth.
And so, the story of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” passed down through generations, teaching children and adults alike the importance of sincerity and the dangers of succumbing to pride and pretense.
💥Moral of The Story💥
The Emperor’s New Clothes teaches that it’s important to think for oneself, speak the truth, and not be swayed by vanity or the false opinions of others.

🐈👨🏻The Man and The Little Cat Story
In a serene forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the sunlight danced through the leaves, there lived an old man named Mr. Alden. Mr. Alden was known for his kind heart and gentle spirit. He often took long walks in the forest, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of nature.
One crisp morning, as Mr. Alden was walking along a narrow path, he heard a faint meowing. Curious, he followed the sound until he found a little cat, its fur matted and eyes wide with fear, stuck in a deep hole. The cat was desperately trying to climb out, but the slippery walls of the hole made it impossible.
Without hesitation, Mr. Alden reached down to help the little cat. But as he did so, the scared cat scratched his hand fiercely. Mr. Alden recoiled in pain, his hand bleeding. Despite the pain, he looked at the cat with eyes full of compassion and tried again, extending his hand towards the frightened animal.
Just then, another man, who had been watching from a distance, called out, “For goodness sakes! Stop helping that cat! He’s going to have to get himself out of there.”
But Mr. Alden, undeterred by the cat’s defensive scratches or the other man’s words, gently spoke to the cat, soothingly, and reached down again. Finally, after several attempts, he managed to grasp the cat gently and lift it out of the hole.
The cat, now free, scampered away into the forest, still frightened but safe. Mr. Alden turned to the other man, a gentle but firm look in his eyes. “Son,” he said, “it is a cat’s instinct to scratch when afraid, and it is my job to love and care. We must treat others with kindness and compassion, regardless of their actions.”
The other man stood in silence, watching as Mr. Alden continued his walk through the forest, his hand still bleeding but his heart full of peace.
🌿🍁Moral of the Story
Treat everyone around you with your ethics, not with theirs. Treat others the way you want to be treated. This story teaches us about the importance of compassion, understanding, and perseverance in the face of adversity or misunderstanding. It reminds us that kindness and care are choices we make, regardless of how others may react
