Description

Morality regulates the person and the society properly. It injects values in life and enriches it. The seeds of the moral values are sown in the childhood. That is the reason perhaps that all the societies have rich treasures of the stories for children in literary or oral folklore form. In whatever form, the purpose of the stories invariably is to inculcate moral values in the characters of the listeners or readers.

This book presents a prize collection of moral stories that parents and grandparents have been using to thrill and charm the children for centuries. These stories were bred and nurtured by different cultures. The common message of the stories is that only a good character winds success in life. The stories include the ones narrated by Buddha to his disciples related to his previous lives. Although the stores basically are meant for the children yet the people of all age groups enjoy and learn from them. The coloured illustrations and simple narrative add to the joy of reading.

The hunters chased the fox. To save her life she sneaked into the house of a wood cutter and hid under a cot. The wood cutter had seen the fox.

A little while later the hunters arrived there. The asked the wood cutter about the fox. He denied having seen any fox but at the same time he gave them hint through eye signal about here the fox lay hiding. The hunters failed to decipher the signal and went away. The fox came out of the hiding and began to depart from there. The wood cutter remarked to her, You should thank me atleast.

The fox stopped and turned back to say, What for should I thank you? For denying my presence here or for giving them a hint about where I was hiding? The woodcutter had no answer. Such is the fate of the double faced persons.
