The Proud Peacock

The Proud Peacock

In a deep forest, there lived a peacock with beautiful feathers. The peacock is proud of its colorful feathers. The peacock himself admires his own beauty. He will boast that he is the most beautiful bird among all other birds in this world.

One day, a cuckoo bird came that way. The peacock saw the cuckoo bird. The cuckoo bird had black color feathers.
The peacock said to the cuckoo bird, “Your feathers are black! You look ugly!”
Hearing these hurting words from the peacock, the cuckoo bird was not angry. 

Instead, the cuckoo bird started singing in his sweet voice. The peacock was amazed by the beautiful song of the cuckoo bird. The peacock also started singing and his voice was ugly. Even the peacock was not able to enjoy the song in his own voice.

The cuckoo bird said to the peacock, “Oh dear peacock, you got colorful feathers, but you cannot sing well. I have black feathers, but I can sing well. We each have our talent as our own gift, and we should appreciate it. We should not take pride and insult others!”

The peacock agreed and it stopped boasting about its beauty.

Moral: Do not compare yourself with others, appreciate your own talent

The Hungry Mouse

The Hungry Mouse

There was a little mouse named Mogey. He was very hungry. Mogey looked for food near his hole. He saw a house with the door open. He entered the house and ran to the store room. There was a big sack of rice. Mogey ran around the rice sack. He found a small hole in the sack.  He got in to the rice sack through the small hole.

Mogey started eating the rice grains and his stomach became full. Mogey thought "So much rice is here, I will eat as much I want!"
He did not stop eating rice. His stomach started becoming big. After sometime, Mogey's stomach became big and round like a ball.Now he could not come out the hole in the rice sack. He started fearing for his life. If someone sees him in the sack, he will be beaten.

In fear, Mogey shouted "Help! Help!". Another mouse heard his voice.
He came and asked " Who is this shouting for help?"
Mogey replied, " I am Mogey, stuck inside the sack! Please pull me out of the hole, I am unable to come out of it!"
The other mouse made a big hole in the sack with his teeth and pulled Mogey out.

Mogey thanked the other mouse. With surprise, it asked Mogey, "How did you go inside the sack?"
Mogey told, "When I went in, my stomach was empty. I easily went inside the sack through the small hole. I became greedy and ate too much and I could not come out!'
The other mouse advised him not to be greedy and left the place. Mogey returned to his hole.

Moral: Too much of anything is good for nothing.
