  • Story With Moral

    Hello.........

    One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route.

    No problems for the first few stops, a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

    At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.

    He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.

    The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek... Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it.

    The next day the same thing happened -Big John got on again, said "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down.

    And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth.

    This irritated the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of his size.

    Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building program, karate, judo and all that good stuff.

    By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; So on the next Monday, when Big John got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" the driver stood up, glared back and screamed, "And why not?"

    With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a Bus pass."

    Moral of the story: First be sure is there a problem before working hard to solve one

    Thanks..........

    An Old Man Lived in the Village

    An old man lived in the village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in a bad mood.

    The longer he lived, the more bile he was becoming and the more poisonous were his words. People avoided him, because his misfortune became contagious. It was even unnatural and insulting to be happy next to him.

    He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.

    But one day, when he turned eighty years old, an incredible thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumour:

    “An Old Man is happy today, he doesn’t complain about anything, smiles, and even his face is freshened up.”

    The whole village gathered together. The old man was asked:

    Villager: What happened to you?

    “Nothing special. Eighty years I’ve been chasing happiness, and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.” – An Old Man


    Moral of the story: Don’t chase happiness. Enjoy your life.

      Story- The Wise Man

      People have been coming to the wise man, complaining about the same problems every time. One day he told them a joke and everyone roared in laughter.

      After a couple of minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.

      When he told the same joke for the third time no one laughed anymore.

      The wise man smiled and said:
      “You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?”

      Moral of the story:
      Worrying won’t solve your problems, it’ll just waste your time and energy.

        Story- The Butterfly (Struggles)

        A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.

        One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.

        Until it suddenly stopped making any progress and looked like it was stuck.

        So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.

        The man didn’t think anything of it and sat there waiting for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly. But that didn’t happen. The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly, crawling around with tiny wings and a swollen body.

        Despite the kind heart of the man, he didn’t understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle needed by the butterfly to get itself through the small opening; were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings. To prepare itself for flying once it was out of the cocoon.


        Moral of the story:

        Our struggles in life develop our strengths. Without struggles, we never grow and never get stronger, so it’s important for us to tackle challenges on our own, and not be relying on help from others.

          The Proud Rose


          Once upon a time, in a desert far away, there was a rose who was so proud of her beautiful looks. Her only complaint was growing next to an ugly cactus.

          Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on his looks, all while the cactus remained quiet. All the other plants nearby tried to make the rose see sense, but she was too swayed by her own looks.

          One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing their lush color.

          Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water. Though ashamed, the rose asked the cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus readily agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as friends.


          Moral of the story: Never judge anyone by the way they look.

            Story- The Needle Tree

            Once, there were two brothers who lived at the forest’s edge. The oldest brother was always unkind to his younger brother. The older brother took all the food and snatched all the good clothes.

            The oldest brother used to go into the forest in search of firewood to sell in the market. As he walked through the forest, he chopped off the branches of every tree, until he came upon a magical tree.

            The tree stopped him before he chopped its branches and said, ‘Oh, kind sir, please spare my branches. If you spare me, I will provide you with golden apples.’

            The oldest brother agreed but was feeling disappointed with how many apples the tree gave him.

            Overcome by greed, the brother threatened to cut the entire tree if it didn’t provide him with more apples. But, instead of giving more apples, the tree showered him with hundreds of tiny needles. The brother fell to the ground, crying in pain as the sun began to set.

            Soon, the younger brother became worried and went to search for his older brother. He searched until he found him at the trunk of the tree, lying in pain with hundreds of needles on his body.

            He rushed to him and started to painstakingly remove each needle with love. Once the needles were out, the oldest brother apologized for treating his younger brother so badly. The magical tree saw the change in the older brother’s heart and gifted them with all the golden apples they could need.

            The Moral: It’s important to be kind, as it will always be rewarded.

              Story- A Man with a Lamp


              Once upon a time, there was a small town. There lived a man by himself who couldn’t see. He was blind. Yet, he carried a lighted lamp with him whenever he went out at night.

              One night as he was coming home after having a dinner outside, he came across a group of young travellers. They saw that he was blind, yet carrying a lighted lamp. They started passing comments on him and made a fun of him. One of them asked him, “Hey Man! You are blind and can’t see anything! Why do you carry the lamp then?!”

              The blind man replied, “Yes, unfortunately, I am blind and I can’t see anything but a lighted lamp which I am carrying is for the people like you who can see. You may not see the blind man coming and end up pushing me. That is why I carry a lighted lamp”.

              The group of travellers felt ashamed and apologized for their behaviour.

              Moral: We should think before judging others. Always be polite and learn to see things

                Story- Believe good things will happen, and they will.

                Despite it being an advertisement , I really love the concept behind such Thai commercials, try watching them without crying will be hard! Try it!

                How many times have you gone out of your way to help someone in need?

                This is a video where the protagonist demonstrates how small acts of kindness every day make genuine differences in the lives of others. A neglected plant gets a little extra water, an old lady gets a helping hand, and a needy child gets money for education. In return for his good deeds, he doesn’t get any materialistic rewards but the happiness is far more valuable.


                Moral: Do what you can to help people in need, because there’s nothing

                  Story: Three Feet From Gold

                  During the gold rush, a man who had been mining in Colorado for several months quit his job, as he hadn’t struck gold yet and the work was becoming tiresome. He sold his equipment to another man who resumed mining where it had been left off. The new miner was advised by his engineer that there was gold only three feet away from where the first miner stopped digging.

                  The engineer was right, which means the first miner was a mere three feet away from striking gold before he quit.

                  The Moral:

                  When things start to get hard, try to persevere through the adversity. Many people give up on following their dreams because the work becomes too difficult, tedious, or tiresome–but often, you’re closer to the finish line than you may think, and if you push just a little harder, you will succeed.

                    Story: The Secret to Success

                    Once a young man asked the wise man, Socrates, the secret to success. Socrates patiently listened to the man’s question and told him to meet him near the river the next morning for the answer. The next morning Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. As they went in the river the water got up to their neck. But to the young man’s surprise Socrates ducked him into the water.

                    The young man struggled to get out of the water, but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled the man’s head out of the water. The young man gasps and took a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, ‘What did you want the most when your head was in the water?” The young man replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air while you were in the water, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”


                    Moral of the short story:

                    A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.

                      Story: Take that Leap.


                      There’s an old riddle that says five frogs are sitting on a lily pad. One decides to jump off. How many are left?

                      If your answer is “four”, thank your maths teacher for your excellent maths skills. Unfortunately, this is not a test of your maths abilities.

                      It’s a life problem.

                      The correct answer is “five”. Yes, all five are still sitting there on the lily pad.

                      The one frog only decided to jump but hasn’t.

                      Life is not a spectator sport; it’s indeed a contact sport. and there are no practice sessions, and you’ve been in the game from day one.

                      As cliche as it seems ‘The journey starts with a single step’ — not by thinking about taking that step.

                      Moral: Be the frog who not only decides to jump off the lily pad but actually jumps.

                        Story- The Reflection of Your Actions

                        A man and his son were going through the forest hills. Suddenly, the boy fell down on the trail and screamed with a pain, “Aah!” Surprisingly, he heard the same voice from the mountain, “Aah!” Curiously, the boy shouted, “Who is this?” But the voice replied the same, “Who is this?” He got angry, and shouted again, “You are stupid!” And again the voice replied the same, “You are stupid!”

                        Annoyed By this, the boy asked his father, “Father, What is going on? Who is this?” The Father replied, “Son, Pay attention”. The father shouted, “You are very nice”. And the voice responded the same, “You are very nice!” The father again shouted, “Thank you”. And the voice again responded the same, “Thank you!” The son was very surprised but he still could not understand what was happening.

                        The father explained, “Son, people call it resonance, but this is the truth of the life. The life is a reflection of your actions. What you will give to others, you will receive the same in return.”


                        Moral: What we give to others, life gives us the same in return. Your life is not an accident or a coincidence, but it is the shadow of your actions.

                          Story: Mother’s Love for a Boy

                          One day Thomas Edison came home and gave a paper to his mother. He told her, “My teacher gave this paper to me and told me to only give it to my mother.” His mother’s eyes were tearful as she read the letter out loud to her child, “Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.”

                          Many years after Edison’s mother had died, Edison had become one of the greatest inventors of the century. One day he was going through the old closet and he found a folded letter which was given to him by his teacher for his mother. He opened it. The message written on the letter was, “Your son is mentally ill. We can not let him attend our school anymore. He is expelled.”

                          Edison became emotional reading it and then he wrote in his diary, “Thomas Alva Edison was a mentally ill child whose mother turned him into the genius of the century.”


                          Moral: A Mother’s love and upbringing can help change the destiny of a child.

                            Story:The False Human Belief


                            As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time can break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

                            He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

                            The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

                            Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?


                            Moral: Failure is a part of learning. We should never give up the struggle in life. You Fail not because you are destined to fail, but because there are lessons which you need to learn as you move on with your life.

                              Story:Fear vs Respect


                              A Long time ago a very cruel king named Virat Singh was ruling the city of Vijay Nagar. All citizens were fearful because of his cruelty.

                              Virat has a dog named Jack, which he used to love more than anything, one fateful morning Jack died. Virat Singh organized last rituals for the dog, entire city came to a cremation ground. Virat Singh was very happy to see that people love him so much and he felt he is the most popular king in the world. After few days Virat Singh died, but no one came for his funerals.


                              Moral: Respect is something you have to earn, you cannot force it on others to respect you. There is a thin line between Fear and Respect, every one of us should understand it and do necessary corrections in our personalities.
