A story narrates an incident, real or imaginary.

1. The Two Friends And The Bear

There lived two friends in a
village. They were best friends.

They set out on a journey. They
passed through a forest. Suddenly,
a bear appeared in front of them.

They were scared. One friend
climbed up a tree. But the other

one didn’t know how to climb the
tree. So, he laid down on the

ground breathless, pretending to
be a dead man.

The bear came near the man lying
on the ground. It smelt in his ears,

and slowly left the place because bears do not eat dead creatures. Now, the friend
on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground, “Friend, what did the
bear tell you in your ears?” The other friend replied, “The bear advised me not to

believe a false friend”.

Moral: We should always stand with our friends even if it was a hard time.

2. Helping Others

Once there was a small boy named Shankar. He belonged to a poor family. One

day, he was crossing through the forest carrying some wood. He saw an old man
who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have

food for his own self. So, he continued on his way. On his way, he saw a deer who
was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have water for

himself. So he went on his way ahead.
