14.Act Wisely



There was a soap company in America.The owner of the company did not make much money because nobody wanted to buy his soap.

One day the owner of the company decided to send soap posters around the world.The poster had three portions.Dirty cloth, wash it with soap and clean cloth.

The other employees suggested to start it from Arab countries. But they did not know that the arabs read right to left.

They sent the posters to Arab and got pasted all over their country.

A lot of people came to see the posters, but since they read from right to left, they thought , they have to start with clean cloth, wash it with the soap and they end with dirty cloth.Hence, nobody bought it.Back in America, they wondered why nobody bought it and they never found out WHY?

Moral of the story....when doing a thing, you have to act wisely

13.Do not waste Food

Little Kumar and his dad went to the bazaar to get veggies and groceries for the home. They also came back with a bag full of rice. As soon as they came home, Kumar's mom emptied the bag of rice in the rice box she keeps in the pantry. When she did that, she dropped a few rice grains on the ground by mistake.

When mom went to put the rest of the groceries aside, Kumar thought he should help his mom in cleaning up the floor. He took a mop and tried to clean up the rice grains from the floor. When he got ready to throw the grains in the trash, Mom stopped him.She said, "Kumar, dear, you should not waste the grains". Kumar asked " Why not mom? We have a big box full of rice, why shouldn't i throw the handful of grains in the trash?"



Kumar's mom explained, " God gives us rice grains to cook and relish. Every grain has to be eaten by some one. When a grain is taken out of its husk, it has to be consumed by a hungry soul"

Kumar asked " OK, but this is just a handful off the floor? Whose hunger is this handful going to satisfy?"

Mom said, watch.. and placed the rice in one corner of the terrace above. With in 2 minutes, birds started flying towards Kumar's home. They ate ever piece of the grain.



Kumar was astonished to see the entire grains being eaten. He was very happy. He understood that he should never waste food ever. From that day onwards, Kumar never wasted any food.

Moral - Every morsel of food is important. Never waste food.

11.. The Fox and the Grapes

In a forest while a Fox was walking, he saw a bunch of Grapes hanging over a lofty branch.

'Just the thing to quench my thirst' he thought.





He went a few steps back and jumped.He missed the hanging Grapes.
Again the Fox took a few steps back and jumped to reach the Grapes but still failed.

Finally the Fox gave up and said,
"They are probably sour anyway"




Fox did a lot of hard work to get the Grapes but did not use its brain to plan other ways to get the Grapes.

GOOD PLANNING AND HARD WORK WILL ONLY YIELD GOOD RESULT

9. Food and Energy





One day all the parts of the human body had a discussion about the importance of
each.It was the turn of the "Head" to talk about it'simportance.

Head said.

"I"am the most important of all.I have in me the eyes to see,nose to breathe,
ears to hear and mouth to eat."

Hand said

"I have the ability to move.,without me the head cannot eat anything,
because I carry the food to the mouth."

Leg said

"If it weren't for me you all would be in place.I'm the one who carries you around
places."

They all looked at the stomach and said
"You don't do any work except to take all the food we give you"
Hand said

"Whatever food I carry and give to mouth goes to the stomach."

Leg said

"Very true, I too walk and do a lot of work.I get very tired but I don't
enjoy anything where as stomach takes everything from us and does nothing
back to us."

So the rest of the parts of the body decided not to give stomach any food.

One day passed

Head started aching.Hands started trembling.Legs started dragging.

Second day

Head could not tolerate the pain.Hands and legs could hardly move.

It was time for stomach to speak up.

Stomach asked

"Do you all know why all of you are so tired?"

They said "No"

Stomach said

"All of you had a feeling that I enjoyed whatever food you gave me,
so you stopped giving me any food."
"But the truth is I take the food from you and digest it to give energy
for all of you to function.Whatever you gave me,I return it to you as energy.

The moment you stopped feeding me you lost all the energy,so you could not move,
you started aching."

Hands,legs and head understood that if they took care of the stomach by giving it
proper food,the stomach would give them energy and take care of them.
Every part needed each other to funcion well.

8. Divided We Fall.......


Once a frog lived in a marsh and nearby lived a mouse in a hole.





They were good friends but both of them claimed to be the owner of the marsh.One day they entered a dispute in this connection.

The frog was stronger than the mouse but the mouse was very clever. He hid himself under the grass, attacked the frog and harmed him a lot.

The frog decided to put an end to the dispute and challenged the mouse for a clash.The mouse accepted the challenge.

Both armed themselves with a point of reed to use it like a spear.

When they were about to start fighting, an Eagle came there flying. The Eagle saw the animals ready for a fight.



So, the Eagle swooped down, caught them both in its claws and carried them away.
