There was a little boy called John. He was very playful. He played hard at the playground and was exhausted when he got home. His father told him to get undressed and ready for a bath. The little boy nodded and went straight to his room.

His father was waiting for John at the bathroom but he never came. His father went to John’s room. He saw that John was already asleep in his bed fully clothed. And one shoe was off but one shoe was still on his right foot.

His father took off John’s shoe and his trousers. He dressed him in his pyjamas and left him to sleep.

Moral of the story :

Avoid playing too much until you are too tired to do anything else. If you play too much, you will be tired and you will get very little time for study which is more important than play.

Once The Sun and The Wind happened to have a quarrel. Both of them claimed to be stronger. At last they agreed to have a trial of strength.

"Here comes a traveller. Let us see who can strip him of his cloak?" said the Sun.

The Wind agreed and did choose to have the first turn.

He blew in the hardest possible way.

As a result, the traveller wrapped his cloak even more tightly around him.

Then it was the turn of the Sun. At first he shone very gently. The sun went on shining brighter and brighter. The traveller felt hot.

Before long he took off his cloak and put it in his bag.

The Wind accepted his defeat.

Moral : Fury or force cuts no ice where gentleness does the job.
