The Kind White Elephant

Once upon a time, there lived a kind and magnificent white elephant. He dearly loved his old, blind mother and took great care of her. They lived in a cave beside a beautiful lake surrounded by lovely pink lotus flowers.

One day, a forester lost his way in the forest and was scared to be alone in the thick woods. He began to cry and call for help. The white elephant was in the forest gathering fruit for his mother when he heard the man’s cries for help. He kindly showed the man the way out of the forest. The forester thanked the elephant and happily went home.

After some days, the forester heard that King Brahmadutta’s personal elephant had died, and the king was looking for a new elephant. The forester remembered the kind white elephant and thought if he told the king about him, he would surely get a reward.

The next day, the forester led the king to the white elephant’s cave. The white elephant was upset by the forester’s selfishness, but he didn’t want to hurt anyone, so he didn’t fight back. He was led away to the king’s palace. The poor elephant’s mother was heartbroken that the king had taken away her son. She lay down in the cave and cried bitterly.

Meanwhile, the white elephant received a grand welcome at the royal elephant compound. The keepers laid out a feast for him, but he didn’t eat anything. He just stood there with a sad expression on his face.

The king came to see what was wrong. The elephant told the king about his blind mother and how she couldn’t survive on her own and would die without him.

The kind-hearted king was touched by the elephant’s story and allowed him to return to his mother.

The white elephant took good care of his mother until the day she died. The king often visited him in the forest. And when the white elephant passed away, the king built a statue of him by the side of the lake and held an annual elephant festival there in his memory.

Moral: True kindness is caring for those who need us the most.

The Brave Little Sister

Once upon a time, a man and a woman had seven sons. They loved their sons but wished for a daughter. When their eighth child was a baby girl, they were very happy. Finally, their dream had come true!

The baby girl was always thirsty, so the seven sons were sent to fetch water from the well. “Take this silver cup and fill it for the baby,” their mother said. But the cup fell into the well with a splash! The boys were scared and didn’t go home.

When the boys didn’t return, their father grew angry. “May those lazy boys turn into ravens!” he shouted. As soon as he said this, the seven boys turned into ravens and flew away. Although the father felt sorry, it was too late.

As the little girl grew older, her mother told her about her seven lost brothers. The brave girl promised to find them and bring them home.

She set off on her journey, taking her mother’s ring as a keepsake. She searched everywhere, calling out, “Where are my seven brothers?” The stars in the sky saw her sadness and wanted to help. They sent down a magical key and said, “Follow our light to a glass mountain. You’ll find your raven brothers there.”

After walking for many days, the girl finally reached the glass mountain. She used the key to enter a crystal cave. Inside, she found seven little plates and cups with food and drink. Being very hungry, she took a bite from each plate and a sip from each cup. Her ring fell into the last cup, but before she could pick it up, she heard wings fluttering. She quickly hid behind a door.

The seven ravens swooped down and noticed that some of their food and drink were missing. The last raven found the ring in his cup and recognized it as their mother’s ring.

“If only our little sister had come to find us,” he said, “then we could go home with her.”

Hearing this, their brave sister came out of hiding, overjoyed. As soon as the ravens saw her, they turned back into men. Finally, they were reunited, and they all returned home to live happily ever after.

Moral: Love and bravery can overcome any curse.

Blinky and the Brave Adventure

Blinky the Fish lived deep, deep under the sea. His home was so far down that there was hardly any light at all. Everything around Blinky was dark and quiet. But Blinky was special—he was as bright as the sun, and his smile was even brighter. But Blinky had never seen the sun. He had never seen the sky or felt the wind on his face.

“What is it like up there?” Blinky asked his friend, Claws the Crab.

Claws tapped his claws on a rock. “It’s very hot and bright,” he said. “And it’s dangerous because there are humans up there. They are all mean. They want to catch fish and crabs and eat them up.”

The other sea creatures gathered around too.

“He’s right,” said Jelly the Jellyfish. “Humans are not our friends.”

“I was caught in a net once,” said Spike the Swordfish with a shiver. “I had to cut my way out.”

“It sounds amazing up there,” said Blinky. “I want to see the beautiful sun and watch the waves. I even want to see some humans. They can’t all be bad.”

The other creatures shook their heads and stared at Blinky. “Going to the surface is too risky,” said Claws.

But Blinky couldn’t stop thinking about the sunshine, the waves, and the breeze, so he decided to go up, up, up!

The water began to get lighter. Everything started to look less gloomy. And then, at last, Blinky’s head broke through the water, and he felt the cool wind on his scales. A huge smile spread across his face. His colorful scales sparkled in the sunshine, and his smile was dazzling. It was even noticed by a family fishing from a boat.

“What a beautiful fish!” said the little boy. “He’s awesome!”

“Let’s catch him,” said the boy’s sister, and their father agreed.

The girl threw her fishing line into the water. It moved closer to Blinky. Blinky looked at the line. He had never seen one before and didn’t know what it was. He swam a little closer. He could see the boy watching him.

“Swim away!” the boy shouted to Blinky. “Stay free!”

Blinky quickly swam down into the water, away from the fishing line. The girl and her father were disappointed, but the boy smiled. When Blinky was safe, he turned and smiled too. He knew he had made a human friend. Then he dived down, down, down to his home.

Everything seemed different now that he had seen the surface. His friends were waiting for him. When they saw him come back safely, they cheered and danced around.

“How did you stay safe?” asked Claws.

“It was all thanks to a human boy,” said Blinky. “Not all humans want to catch fish. Some just want to be friends.”

Moral: Not everyone is bad. Sometimes, you can find friends in the most unexpected places.

The Lion and the Little Mouse

Once upon a time, there was a huge lion who lived in a dark den in the middle of the jungle. If the lion didn’t get enough sleep, he would become very grumpy.

One day, while the lion was sleeping, a little mouse decided to take a shortcut through the lion’s den. “The lion is snoring so loudly,” thought the mouse. “He’ll never hear me!”

But as the mouse hurried past, he accidentally ran over the lion’s paw.

“How dare you wake me up!” the lion roared angrily, grabbing the mouse. “I will eat you for my supper.”

“Please,” cried the mouse. “I didn’t mean to wake you up. I’m too small to make a good meal for someone as mighty as you. Let me go, and I promise to help you one day.”

The lion laughed loudly. “You’re too small to help someone as big as me,” he said, but he opened his paw. “Go home, little mouse.”

The mouse looked at the lion in surprise.

“You have made me laugh, so I will let you go,” the lion explained. “But hurry, before I change my mind.”

“Thank you!” squeaked the mouse gratefully, and he ran home.

A few days later, the lion was hunting in the jungle when he got caught in a hunter’s net. He was so angry that he let out the loudest of roars.

“Lion must be in trouble!” squeaked the mouse. When he found the lion, the mouse started gnawing through the net. Before long, there was a big hole in the net, and the lion climbed through.

“Thank you,” the lion said humbly. “I was wrong to laugh at you. You saved my life today.”

The mouse smiled. “You were kind enough to let me go before,” he squeaked. “It was my turn to help you.”

And from that day on, the huge, mighty lion and the tiny, brave mouse became the best of friends.

Moral: Kindness is never wasted, no matter how small it seems.

The Sun and the Wind

One day, not so long ago, the sun and the wind were having an argument.

“I am stronger than you,” said the sun.

“Nonsense,” said the wind. “I am far stronger than you.”

“See that man down there?” the sun asked the wind. “I am so strong that I bet I could get that coat off him.”

“You’re not strong enough to do that,” said the wind. “I could easily get that coat off him.”

“All right,” said the sun. “You go first.”

So, the wind blew with all his might and strength. Leaves blew off the trees, and tiles flew off the rooftops. But the man only pulled his coat more tightly around him. The wind could not get the coat off the man.

“Now it’s my turn,” said the sun. And he shone down on the man. The sun’s warmth was so strong that the man quickly became very hot. He became so hot that he took off his coat and slung it over his shoulder.

“I win!” said the sun, shining brightly, and the wind sighed in defeat.

Moral: Gentle strength can be more effective than force.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin

A long time ago, the little town of Hamelin was overrun by rats.

One day, a stranger came to see the mayor.

“I will rid your town of rats if you pay me one hundred gold coins,” he said.

The mayor agreed, and so the stranger began to play a beautiful tune on a pipe. The rats followed the piper, who led them into a river where they drowned. But when the piper went to ask for his money, the mayor refused to pay.

The next day, the piper returned and played his tune again. This time, it was not rats that followed him, but the town’s children. “When you pay me what you owe, I will return the children,” he told the mayor.

The people of Hamelin were furious. “Pay the piper what he is owed,” they shouted.

The mayor finally paid the piper, and the children were returned to their parents.

After that, the people of Hamelin chose a new mayor, and from then on, Hamelin succeeded.

Moral: It’s important to keep your promises, or you might face consequences.

The Pirate Who Broke the Rules

Captain Redbeard loved being a pirate… mostly.

“I just wish there weren’t so many rules,” he grumbled, thumping the Pirate Rulebook. It seemed like he wasn’t allowed to do any of the things he really wanted.

“I’d like a pet dog,” Captain Redbeard said one day.

“Pirates don’t have dogs,” said the first mate, looking surprised. “A parrot is the only pet for a pirate captain. Look in the rulebook.”

“My feet hurt,” said Captain Redbeard another day. “I think I’ll get myself a nice, comfy pair of slippers.”

“Pirates don’t wear slippers!” said the boatswain in a shocked voice. “They wear stiff leather boots. It’s rule number five.”

“But leather boots give me blisters,” Captain Redbeard grumbled.

One sunny afternoon, Captain Redbeard looked down through the clear water and saw dozens of oyster shells on the seabed.

“Let’s dive for pearls!” he cried.

“Pirates don’t dive for pearls,” said the cabin boy with a gasp. “We’re supposed to steal them from other ships. Do you know the Pirate Rulebook at all?”

Captain Redbeard flung the rulebook down on the deck and stomped on it.

“I’m tired of being told what pirates don’t do!” he roared. “From now on, I’m going to make the rules!”

At first, the crew was worried. What if other pirates laughed at them? But after a while, they started to enjoy themselves. After all, sheepskin slippers were a lot cozier than leather boots. The Captain’s pet dog knew some cool tricks, and they found more pearls by diving for them than by stealing from ships.

“This is the life for me!” exclaimed Captain Redbeard, wiggling his toes in his new slippers.

Soon, every pirate on the high seas heard about Captain Redbeard’s new rules, and can you guess what? They all wanted to join his crew!

Moral: Sometimes, it’s better to make your own rules and do what makes you happy, even if it’s different from what everyone else does.
