hen his grandmother came and comforted him.

His grandmother sat beside him and


gave him a pencil. Raj looked at his grandma puzzled, and said he didn’t deserve a pencil
after his performance in the test.

His grandma explained, “You can learn many things from this pencil because it is just
like you. It experiences a painful sharpening, just the way you have experienced the pain
of not doing well on your test. However, it will help you be a better student. Just as all
the good that comes from the pencil is from within itself, you will also find the strength
to overcome this hurdle. And finally, just as this pencil will make its mark on any surface,
you too shall leave your mark on anything you choose to.” Raj was immediately consoled
and promised himself that he would do better.

Moral of the Story


We all have the strength to be who we wish to be.

10. The Crystal Ball


Nasir, a small boy, found a crystal ball behind the banyan tree of his garden. The tree
told him that it would grant him a wish. He was very happy and he thought hard, but
unfortunately, he could not come up with anything he wanted. So, he kept the crystal ball
in his bag and waited until he could decide on his wish.

Days went by without him making a wish but his best friend saw him looking at the
crystal ball. He stole it from Nasir and showed it to everyone in the village. They all
asked for palaces and riches and lots of gold, but could not make more than one wish. In
the end, everyone was angry because no one could have everything they wanted. They
became very unhappy and decided to ask Nasir for help. Nasir wished that everything
would go back to how it was once – before the villagers had tried to satisfy their greed.
The palaces and gold vanished and the villagers once again became happy and content.

Moral of the Story


Money and wealth do not always bring happiness.

11. A Bundle of Sticks


Once upon a time, three neighbours living in a village were having trouble with their
crops. Each of the neighbours had one field, but the crops on their fields were infested
with pests and were wilting. Every day, they would come up with different ideas to help
their crops. The first one tried using a scarecrow in his field, the second used pesticides,
and the third built a fence on his field, all to no avail.

One day, the village head came by and called the three farmers. He gave them each a
stick and asked them to break it. The farmers could break them easily. He then gave
them a bundle of three sticks, and again, asked them to break it. This time, the farmers
struggled to break the sticks. The village head said, “Together, you are stronger and work
better than you do it alone.” The farmers understood what the village head was saying.
They pooled in their resources and got rid of the pests from their fields.

Moral of the Story


There is strength in unity.

12. The Ant and the Dove


On a hot scorching day of summer, an ant was walking around in search of water. After
walking around for some time, she saw a river and was delighted to see it. She climbed
up on a small rock to drink the water, but she slipped and fell into the river. She was
drowning but a dove who was sitting on a nearby tree helped her. Seeing the ant in
trouble, the dove quickly dropped a leaf into the water. The ant moved
