Humpty Dumpty
In a faraway land, there lived an egg called Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty liked to jump and skip. The people were worried that Humpty Dumpty might fall and break himself. They advised him to be careful. Humpty Dumpty did not care and continued to jump and skip as much as he liked.
One day, Humpty Dumpty climbed up and sat on a high brick wall. He sang and rocked his body to and fro. Suddenly, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The king’s men and their horses were nearby. They saw Humpty Dumpty fall. They quickly rushed to help. But they were too late. Humpty Dumpty’s shell was broken. His egg white and yolk were splattered all over the place. There was nothing that they could do to help Humpty Dumpty anymore.
Moral of the story :
You should listen to advice if it is for your own good.
I am a Little Teapot.
In a faraway land, there lived a magical little teapot. He was short and stout with a handle and a spout. His mistress made tea in him and poured the tea in tea cups. He loved to help his mistress.
One day, he saw a teacup. He shouted loudly. His mistress came over and picked him up and poured out the tea. Then he saw another empty teacup. He shouted again for his mistress. She came over and poured the tea into the tea cup. Then he saw another empty tea cup. He started to shout again.
His mistress was getting annoyed with the shouting. She emptied the tea from the little teapot into the tea cup. She washed it clean. The little teapot was happy that his mistress was going to make tea in him again. But to his disappointment, she put him into the cupboard and stopped using him ever since.
Moral of the story :
Do not be selfish as it will only cause problems to yourself.
I asked my mother for Fifty Cents.
One day, a circus arrived at a little town. A little boy heard about this and asked his mother for fifty cents. This was to pay for the entrance to the circus.
“What are you going to see at the circus?" asked his mother.
“I want to see the elephant. I heard that the elephant jumped over the fence. But he jumped so high that he reached the sky. People said that he did not come back till the fourth of July," said the little boy. His mother smiled and gave him the fifty cents he asked for.
Moral of the story :
If you want something, it is best that you explain why you need it rather than taking something without permission.
