The Rabbit and its Friends

There lived a rabbit in a forest. It had several friends and therefore it was proud about it.
One day, a fox attacked the rabbit. The rabbit went to the horse for help. "Oh my friend horse, a fox is behind me, can you please take me from here" requested the rabbit. The horse said " I am already late for work, why don't you ask the goat ". The rabbit went to the goat for help, but the goat moved away telling it was busy.
The rabbit went to the cow and said " oh dear friend, a fox is following me. Please help me?"
Listening to the name of the Fox, the cow moved on telling it was frightened of Fox.

The rabbit was disappointed with all his friends and ran as quickly as possible to save its life from the Fox.

Moral: It is always advisable to have one good friend than to have many who do not help us in need.

The Lion and the Rat

This is my first blog. I am trying to collate all the short stories which we can narrate to the kids.

First story which is very popular for years and yet the favourite to all of them.

Lion and the Rat:

Once there lived a lion in a forest. It was fast asleep under a tree. There came a rat running around. It was all playing to itself. It climbed the lion thinking it was a rock and continued playing on it. Suddenly the lion felt a tickling sensation and turned around to find a rat running over it. The lion turned fierce and roared at the rat. The rat was frightened and ran away to save his life.


After few days, the lion was trapped in a net by a hunter. The rat happened to pass that way and found the lion in the net. Moved by scene, the rat cut the net in to pieces with its sharp teeth. The lion was freed from the net. The Lion thanked the rat for its help and moved on.

Moral: Should always help the needy.
