Once a couple named Gopal and Suman lived in a small town.
They had a beautiful goose that laid a golden egg every day.
The golden eggs made them rich. A life of some luxury and comforts they lived.
But Gopal was a greedy fellow. He wanted to be rich overnight.
An egg a day looked too little to him. He wanted all the golden eggs at a time right away.
There could be a gold mine inside that goose. So, he decided to kill the goose
to get all the golden eggs.
Early next morning as the goose laid the golden egg, Gopal grabbed its neck.
He killed the goose and cut its belly open with a sharp knife.
But alas! There was no gold mine or stock of golden eggs inside that goose.
Realising his folly, Gopal cried and clutched his head. What a fool he was!
With no golden eggs coming any more Gopal and Suman became poor and poorer.
Moral : Greed is mother of foolishness.
Unity is Strength
In a forest there lived three bulls alongside other wild animals.
They were robust and powerful. As good friends they lived together.
Being together they were safe from wild hunters like lion, tiger and leopard.
A leopard wanted to kill those bulls. But against of their united strength
it had no chance to succeed.
After a lot of thinking a plan hit its mind. The bulls be made
to live apart.
A jackal helped leopard in its mission. Soon the bulls fell apart.
One day, finding a good chance leopard killed a bull and fed itself with relish.
Few days later the leopard killed another bull and feasted on its flesh. Jackal also got its share.
The lone surviving bull realised the blunder of living apart, but it was too late.
Very next day, the leopard pounced upon the third bull. The bull had little chance against the hunter. It also fell prey to the leopard.
Shrewd leopard and cunning jackal feasted on its flesh for many days.
A group of monkeys witnessed the tragedy of the bulls and the result of disunity.
Moral : United we stand, divided we fall.
