The boy who cried 'Wolf" -Moralstories.in

THE BOY WHO CRIED 'WOLF'
Once there was a shepherd boy who had to look after a flock of sheep. One day, he felt bored and decided to play a trick on the villagers. He shouted, “Help! Wolf! Wolf!”
The villagers heard his cries and rushed out of the village to help the shepherd boy. When they reached him, they asked,
“Where is the wolf?”
The shepherd boy laughed loudly, “Ha, Ha, Ha! I fooled all of you.
I was only playing a trick on you.”
A few days later, the shepherd boy played this trick again.
Again he cried, “Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!” Again, the villagers rushed up the hill to help him and again they found that boy had tricked them. They were very angry with him for being so naughty.

Then, some time later, a wolf went into the field. The wolf attacked one sheep, and then another and another. The shepherd boy ran towards the village shouting, “Help! Help! Wolf! Help! Somebody!”
The villagers heard his cries but they laughed because they thought it was another trick. The boy ran to the nearest villager and said, “A wolf is attacking the sheep. I lied before, but this time it is true!”
Finally, the villagers went to look. It was true. They could see the wolf running away and many dead sheep lying on the grass.
We may not believe someone who often tells lies, even when he tells the truth.

Moral:-

We may not believe someone who often tells lies, even when he tells the truth.

Do Not Change The World

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather.

Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?”

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself.

Moral:-

There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story: to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.

Short Story - True Wealth

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how the poor people live so he could be thankful for his wealth.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “It was great, Dad.” “Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked. “Oh yeah” said the son. “So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.” “We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.” “Our patio reaches to the

front yard and they have the whole horizon.” “We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.” “We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.” “We buy our food, but they grow theirs.” “We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.”

With this the boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Forgiving Is Better Then Revenge

A man came out of his home to admire his new truck.
To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck.


The man ran to his son, knocked him away, and hammered the little boy’s hands into pulp as punishment.

When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. 
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate fingers from boy’s both hands.

When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I’m sorry about your truck.” Then he asked, “But when are my fingers going to grow back?"

The father went home and committed suicide.
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge. Think first before you lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.


Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.


Moral of the Story:
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever. Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive and forget. Love one and all.

कैसे आया जूता

एक बार की बात है एक राजा था। उसका एक बड़ा-सा राज्य था। एक दिन उसे देश घूमने का विचार आया और उसने देश भ्रमण की योजना बनाई और घूमने निकल पड़ा। जब वह यात्रा से लौट कर अपने महल आया। उसने अपने मंत्रियों से पैरों में दर्द होने की शिकायत की। राजा का कहना था कि मार्ग में जो कंकड़ पत्थर थे वे मेरे पैरों में चुभ गए और इसके लिए कुछ इंतजाम करना चाहिए।

कुछ देर विचार करने के बाद उसने अपने सैनिकों व मंत्रियों को आदेश दिया कि देश की संपूर्ण सड़कें चमड़े से ढंक दी जाएं। राजा का ऐसा आदेश सुनकर सब सकते में आ गए। लेकिन किसी ने भी मना करने की हिम्मत नहीं दिखाई। यह तो निश्चित ही था कि इस काम के लिए बहुत सारे रुपए की जरूरत थी। लेकिन फिर भी किसी ने कुछ नहीं कहा। कुछ देर बाद राजा के एक बुद्घिमान मंत्री ने एक युक्ति निकाली। उसने राजा के पास जाकर डरते हुए कहा कि मैं आपको एक सुझाव देना चाहता हूँ।

अगर आप इतने रुपयों को अनावश्यक रूप से बर्बाद न करना चाहें तो एक अच्छी तरकीब मेरे पास है। जिससे आपका काम भी हो जाएगा और अनावश्यक रुपयों की बर्बादी भी बच जाएगी। राजा आश्चर्यचकित था क्योंकि पहली बार किसी ने उसकी आज्ञा न मानने की बात कही थी। उसने कहा बताओ क्या सुझाव है। मंत्री ने कहा कि पूरे देश की सड़कों को चमड़े से ढंकने के बजाय आप चमड़े के एक टुकड़े का उपयोग कर अपने पैरों को ही क्यों नहीं ढंक लेते। राजा ने अचरज की दृष्टि से मंत्री को देखा और उसके सुझाव को मानते हुए अपने लिए जूता बनवाने का आदेश दे दिया।

यह कहानी हमें एक महत्वपूर्ण पाठ सिखाती है कि हमेशा ऐसे हल के बारे में सोचना चाहिए जो ज्यादा उपयोगी हो। जल्दबाजी में अप्रायोगिक हल सोचना बुद्धिमानी नहीं है। दूसरों के साथ बातचीत से भी अच्छे हल निकाले जा सकते हैं।

True devotee of God

 

नारद जी ने देखा कि मंदिरों में लोगों कि भीड़ हमेशा लगी रहती है और हर कोई यह
सोचता है कि उस से बड़ा भगवान का भक्त कोई भी नहीं. नारद जी बहुत ही उत्सुक
हुए यह जानने के लिए कि सब से बड़ा भगवान का भक्त कौन है.
उन्होंने भगवान विष्णु का दरवाजा खटखटाया यह जानने के लिए कि उनकी नज़र में
उनका सबसे बड़ा भक्त कौन है. भगवान् विष्णु ने कहा कि मेरा सबसे बड़ा भक्त वो
अमुक किसान है.
प्रशन का उत्तर जानने के बाद नारद जी हैरान हुए कि एक किसान जो पूजा कि विधि
भी नहीं जानता वो इतने बड़े-बड़े उपासकों के होते हुए भी भगवान का सब से बड़ा
भक्त कैसे हुआ. यही प्रशन नारद जी ने भगवान से किया तो भगवान विष्णु ने कहा कि
वह किसान प्रतिदिन अपना हल जोतने का कार्य शुरू करने से पहले पूरी निष्ठा से
मेरा स्मरण करता है और फिर कठिन परिश्रम करता है और अपने कार्य कि समाप्ति पर
फिर से मेरा स्मरण करता है.
