    The stone cutter wished he was the king as he saw a royal procession pass by. His wish came true but he soon found being king too hot under the sun. He then wished to be the sun but controlling its power proved difficult. As a cloud, his rains caused destruction but he couldn't move a boulder. Realizing a stone cutter's skill was needed, he wished to be a stone cutter again and happily returned to his work. The story's moral is to make full use of one's own abilities rather than envy others.

    STORY TELLING TEXT

    A very good morning to the, honorable judges, teachers and


    friends. Today, I am going to tell you a story entitle “The Stone Cutter”.
    Once upon a time, there lived a stone cutter in a small village. All
    day long, he worked hard, cutting the hard stones and making the
    shapes which were needed by his customers. His hands were hard and
    his clothes were dirty.
    One day, he went out to work on a big stone. It was very hard to
    work on, yet the sun was very hot. After spending several hours cutting
    the stone, he sat down in the shade and soon fell asleep.
    After some time, he heard a sound of somebody’s coming. Waking
    up, he saw a long procession of people. There were many soldiers and
    attendants of the procession. In the middle of it, there was a king in a
    palanquin, being carried by strong people.
    “How happy I would be, if I were the King instead of a poor stone
    cutter”. As he mumbled these words, a strange thing happened. The
    stone cutter found himself dressed in silk clothes and shining jewels. He
    was sitting in a comfortable palanquin. He was very happy.
    The procession moved on and the sun grew hot. The stone cutter,
    now the King, became too warm for comfort. As the afternoon was on,
    the sun grew hotter, and the King became more and more
    uncomfortable.
    “I am powerful, it is true! But how more powerful the sun is,” he
    taught. “I would rather be the sun than a King.” At once, he became the
    sun, shining down the earth. His new power was hard to control. He
    burned up the fields with his rays and turned the ocean into vapour
    and formed great clouds which covered the land. But no matter how
    hard he shone, he still could not see through the clouds.
    “It is obvious that the clouds are even stronger and more powerful
    than sun. I would rather be a cloud.” Said the stone cutter, which is now
    the sun.

    Suddenly, he found himself turned into a huge dark cloud. He


    started using his new power. He poured rain down on the fields and
    caused floods. All the trees and houses were swept away but a boulder
    that he had been cutting when he was a stone cutter was unmoved and
    unchanged.
    However much he poured down on the stone, it still did not move.
    “Why that rock is more powerful than I am?” said the stone cutter, now
    a cloud. “Only a stone cutter could change the rock by his skill. How I
    wish I were a stonecutter.”
    Immediately after he had said the words, he found himself sitting on a
    stone with hard and rough hands. Without hesitation, he picked up his
    tools and set to work on a boulder again, smiling happily.
    Ladies and gentlemen, the moral of the story is that, we must be
    contented with whatever abilities we possess. We should not compare
    our abilities with others instead we should be grateful of it and make
    full use of it wisely.
    That's all. Thank you.
