The Blind Tortoise with a Lamp

Once upon a time, there lived a blind tortoise called Steve in town of Maryland. He was very fond of taking a walk after dinner, and he always carried a lighted lamp in his hand every time he went out at night.

On one dark night he was going with his lighted lamp in his hand. Tom the rabbit was passing that way.

He saw Steve and made fun of him. He said," O Blind tortoise, why do you carry the lighted lamp?". "You are blind and cannot see anything!", he added, mocking Steve.

Steve politely replied, "This lamp isn't for me, but for the people who have eyes. I may not see you coming my way, but you will be able to see a blind tortoise coming your way. Tom felt ashamed and apologized immediately.

The Patient Little Girl

Once a food crisis broke out in a country. Each day the children of the city gathered at a rich man's house to get loaves of bread.
As soon as the servants brought out some bread, the children fought among themselves and struggled hard to get them. But there was a little girl who did not fight. She always waited patiently for her turn and got the smallest loaf last of all.
One day as usual, she got the tiniest loaf. When she cut it, she found two rupees in it. She hurried back at once to return the money.
The rich man was pleased at her truthfulness and honesty. He gave her not only those two rupees, but two rupees more as a prize.

Sam's Sandwiches

Once upon a time, there lived a gang of mice near a warehouse of rice. They had made their holes in the warehouse. When the workers left in the evening, the rats came out and started feasting on the bags of rice. 
The rats had become accustomed to this easy lifestyle. Because of sitting and eating everyday, they had become fat and lazy. 

Then suddenly one day, it started raining. The rain would not stop even after 4 days! The  warehouse was filled with water, and the bags of rice started rotting. The mice realized that they would need to leave he place and live somewhere else. Swifty the squirrel advised them to go to the nearby housing colony to find some work. They paid heed to it, and left the warehouse for good.

The gang of mice then went to the nearby colony, and were astonished! They had never seen such beautiful houses. They entered one house through an open door. They hungry rats pounced upon the delightful food! They were so happy! The mice started living happily in the house.

One day, 10 year old Sam noticed that someone had bit off pages of his notebooks. His father also noticed that the wires of his computer were cut. They realized that some mice must have entered their house. Sam and his father bought two wooden rods to get rid of the mice. When they got back, they saw that Sam's mom was standing at the gate, all tired and panting. She explained that she chased away all the mice on her own, because she saw them eating Sam's sandwiches. No one eats Sam's Sandwiches.
They hugged, and went inside talking of the sandwiches.  

The fox and grapes

One afternoon a fox was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to satisfy my thirst," he said.
Taking a few steps back, the fox jumped and just missed the hanging grapes. Again the fox took a few steps back and tried to reach them but failed yet again.
Finally, the fox the fox gave up and said, "They're probably sour anyway," and proceeded to walk away.
