A little  girl was going to the market to sell some filtered cow milk she carried in a pail on her head for her mother.while going on the way she began calculating the extra gain she would get for herself from the milk she had barely sold and the things she would do with the money . "I'll buy some fowls from the poultry said she,"and they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to mom's friend.With the money that I get from the sale of these eggs I'll buy myself a beautiful attire and a pair of black sandals; and when I go to market, won't all the young men come up and speak to me? Even wakamma my former friend would be that jealous, this i know; but I don't care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this. As she spoke she tossed her head back, the Pail fell off her head, and all the milk was spilt. So she had to cry back home and tell her mother what had occurred.

"Oh, my child," said the mother,

"how could you have been so foolish."

Moral:

The wise thirsty crow

on a hot sunny day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking for water. For a long time, he could not find any. He felt very weak, almost lost all hope. Suddenly, he saw a water jug below the tree. He flew straight down to see if there was any water inside. Yes, he could see some water inside the jug!

The crow tried to push his head into the jug. Sadly, he found that the neck of the jug was too narrow. Then he tried to push the jug to tilt for the water to flow out but the jug was too heavy.

The crow thought hard for a while. Then looking around it, he saw some pebbles. he suddenly had a good idea. he started picking up the pebbles one by one, dropping each into the jug. As more and more pebbles filled the jug, the water level kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to drink. His plan had worked!

Moral: Think and work hard,every lies in a problem.

You need to think well to get good result. there's no software for thinking

The Smuggler

A Tale from the Middle East

A clever smuggler came to the border with a donkey. The donkey's back was heavily laden with straw. The official at the border was suspicious and pulled apart the man's bundles till there was straw all around, but not a valuable thing in the straw was found. "But I'm certain you're smuggling something," the official said, as the man crossed the border.

Now each day for ten years the man came to the border with a donkey. Although the official searched and searched the straw bundles on the donkey's back, he never could find anything valuable hidden in them.

Many years later, after the official had retired, he happened to meet that same smuggler in a marketplace and said, "Please tell me, I beg you. Tell me, what were you smuggling? Tell me, if you can."

"Donkeys," said the smuggler.

The ingrate lizard tale

On a warm winter morning, two Lizards sat on a high wall of an old mill. They were enjoying the bright sunshine. One Lizard kept dreaming all the time and was unhappy. The other was older and wiser.
“How miserable is our situation!” cried the Unhappy Lizard. “No one notices us. We are small and have such dull lives. Look at the other bigger animals. They are so royal and majestic!” 
The Unhappy Lizard sighed, “I wish I was born a deer. To be quick and have great, big horns! And live proudly in the royal forest.”
At that very moment, a pack of dogs ran past, chasing a deer. The deer was tired and the hungry dogs pounced on it.
The Lizards watched in horror.
The Wise Lizard said to his complaining friend, “You wanted to be in place of this poor deer!”
“You should learn from what you just saw. You are not beautifully colored or quick on your feet. But, you are alive! Destiny is kind to you. You are small and safe from danger, unlike the bigger animals!”

Lesson

Be happy with what you are

 The best you can be is you

The ugly duckling story

A little duckling was very sad because he thought he was the ugliest amongst all his brothers and sisters. They would not play with him and teased the poor ugly duckling. One day, he saw his reflection in the water and cried, “Nobody likes me. I am so ugly.” He decided to leave home and went far away into the woods.

Deep in the forest, he saw a cottage in which there lived an old woman, her hen, and her cat. The duckling stayed with them for some time but he was unhappy there and soon left. When winter set in the poor duckling almost froze to death. A peasant took him home to his wife and children. The poor duckling was terrified of the children and escaped. The ugly duckling spent the winter in a marshy pond.

Finally, spring arrived. One day, the duckling saw a beautiful swan swimming in the pond and fell in love with her. But then he remembered how everyone made fun of him and he bent his head down in shame. When he saw his own reflection in the water he was astonished. He was not an ugly duckling anymore, but a handsome young swan! Now, he knew why he had looked so different from his brothers and sisters. “They were ducklings but I was a baby swan!” he said to himself.

He married the beautiful swan and lived happily ever after.

The hedgehog and the fox

Mr fox claim to know many things but the hedgehog knows one big thing. The fox is a cunning creature able to devise myriads of complex strategies for sneak attack upon the hedgehog. Day in day out the fox circles around the hedgehogs den waiting for the perfect moment to pounce on the innocent hedgehog.

Fast, sleek , beautiful, fleet of foot and crafty- the fox looks like the winner.

The hedgehog on the other hand is a dowdier creature, looking like a genetic porcupine and a small armadillo. He waddles along, going about his routinely day, searching for lunch and taking care of his home.

The fox wait patiently in cunning silence at the juncture in the trail to waylay, though pretending as if he is doing his own business. The hedgehog minding his own business, wanders right into the path of the fox.

“Aha I’ve got you now! Thinks the fox” he leaps out bounding across the ground, lighting fast. The little hedgehog sensing danger looks up and thinks, “here we go again. Will he ever learn?”Rolling up into a perfect little ball, the hedgehog becomes a  sphere of sharp spikes, pointing outward in all directions. The fox bounding towards his prey, sees the hedgehog defense and calls off the attack each day.

Despite the greater cunning of the fox, the hedgehog always wins.

Lessons and morals

Be focus. Don’t be like the fox who pursues many ends at the same time and see the world in all its complexity yet achieve very little. Sometimes its good you integrate your thinking into one overall concept. Be organized

One sure plan is better than a thousand options.
