“Don’t Be Spoilsport” – Short Story

Once in a forest there was flock of birds living in trees. One bird among them sang exceptionally well. Rest of the birds enjoyed her singing. The animals in the forest also enjoyed her singing. However, her singing led to troubles for other birds and animals as several hunters came to the forest to hunt the birds and animals. Some died and some were captured while escaping from the hunters. Hence, the animals asked birds to relocate to avoid getting killed by hunters. Rest of the birds advised the singing bird not to sing all the time as it cost their lives. The singing bird did not pay heed to the advice of other birds and kept singing.

The flock relocated to other forests. The singing bird started singing in the new forest. The animals in the new forest enjoyed the singing. However, few birds did not appreciate and hatched a conspiracy to ruin the voice of the singing bird.

Everyday five to six male birds would meet singing bird and offer heavy food to eat. Gradually the singing bird became hefty and her voice became husky. As a result, the singing bird could not sing melodiously. Rest of the birds lived happily in the forest. But the singing bird remained unhappy forever. The moral of the story is that we should not be spoilsport.

Short Story – Success and Ego

Once there was a corn field in a village which had rare variety of corns in a large land. The landlord, Ken was very happy with its yield. He was very proud for his production. He often would say that nobody could match him in yield as his corns were popular in whole country.

One day a great industrialist named Mark met landlord to make a deal. The deal was that Ken would sell half of his land to Mark and the latter would pay half of the income he would receive on the land to the former. Ken got irritated and yelled at him and talked ill of him. Mark didn’t frown and left the place coolly.

While he was returning to town he saw a farmer working in hot sun in a small land. Mark immediately went to the farmer and asked his name and why he was working very hard? He replied that his name was Jack and he was very poor and had to take care of his family. Mark asked whether he would grow corns. Jack said that to grow corns he required large field. Then Mark said that he would give him a large field and also the money. Jack also agreed. Mark said that he would meet him after a week to get everything ready.

Mark met Jack as per the commitment. He gave huge land to Jack adjacent Ken’s corn fields. Mark also provided shelter to Jack house in the field itself. Jack immediately started his work. He worked day and night to deliver superior quality of corns to Mark.

After a year Mark came to see Jack. The field was full of corns. Even though Jack satisfied Mark he was still working harder to produce better quality yield. Mark was excited with the crop outcome and gave half of the profits to Jack. Then Mark went to see the Ken’s field. To his surprise, he found the corns of Ken were rotten as Ken became overconfident and neglected the crop.

From this story we can learn that excessive egoism is the root of downfall. One should not take success for granted. When people achieve success without hard work becomes proud while the people who work hard and achieve success become humble. Hence, make sure that success doesn’t go to your head.

Short Story – Crane And Aquatic Animals

Once there was a crane flying in the forest. It was dying with hunger. While it was flying it saw a very big and beautiful lake.  It saw many fishes, frogs and many aquatic animals.  It thought that it could spend its entire life happily by eating those aquatic animals.  It chalked out a strategy to eat them.

 

The crane went to the aquatic animals and asked who as the king of the lake.  The animals said that they had no king. The crane said them that every kingdom would have a king; every village would have a head. Aquatic animals fell in the trap of crane. Subsequently the aquatic animals gathered to elect king.  Some aquatic animals opted frogs to be king but some opted fishes to be kings. When they were arguing, some animals suggested that crane would be the better king.  Since crane was strong and intelligent among other aquatic animals, all agreed.

 

When aquatic animals asked crane to be king it accepted. After becoming the king it told to all the aquatic animals that everyone should obey its instructions. All of them agreed.  The crane said that everyday it would eat ten fishes and ten frogs and would survive.  In that way, crane spent its entire life happily.

 

Never follow others’ suggestion.  Always think independently and act.

Rayon had a wife by name, Julia. He loved her very much. Julia always opposed Rayon working for demons. She repeatedly told Rayon that demons were using him as pawn and also added that demons wanted to gain supremacy over Gods. Rayon never bothered to listen to his wife and finally Julia left him.
