The Price of Envy

Image
Classes: 6th to 8th classes English:          The Price of Envy There was once a jealous neighbour who was envious of Tenali Ramakrishna's fame and wit. This neighbour spread false rumors about Tenali, hoping to tarnish his reputation. When Tenali heard about this, he decided to teach the neighbour a lesson in a subtle way.          Tenali invited the neighbour over for dinner. During the meal, Tenali placed a mirror in front of the neighbour and asked, "What do you see?" The neighbour replied, "I see myself."Tenali then said, "Exactly. You see yourself because a mirror reflects what is in front of it. Similarly, the rumors you spread about me reflect more about your own character than mine.          If you speak ill of others, it only shows the negativity within you."The neighbour realized his mistake, apologized to Tenali, and promised to mend his ways.                Mor...

Sam loved the forest, spending every free moment exploring its wonders. One day, while wandering deeper than he ever had before, he stumbled upon a hidden grove with a single ancient tree at its center.The tree's branches were gnarled and twisted, its bark thick and weathered. As Sam approached, he noticed a tiny seed pod hanging from one of the branches. The tree whispered to him, "This is the last seed of my kind. Take it and plant it where it can grow strong and tall, safe from harm. "Sam gently took the seed and ran back to his village. He knew the perfect spot: a clearing on the outskirts, away from the logging and development that threatened the forest. He planted the seed with great care and tended to it every day.Seasons changed, and the seed sprouted into a sapling. The villa...

When she finally gave birth to a girl, an evil witch cursed the newborn princess, causing the queen's twelve sons to transform into wild ducks.        The only way to break the curse was for the princess to sew twelve shirts from nettles and remain silent for seven years—neither speaking nor laughing during this time.As the princess grew older and learned about her brothers' fate, she vowed to break the curse. Determined, she left the palace to live in a hut in the forest, where she began her arduous task.

However, a black snake had made its home in a hole at the base of the tree. Whenever the crows laid eggs, the snake would slither up the tree and eat them. The crows were heartbroken and didn't know what to do. One day, the female crow suggested to her mate, "We must find a way to get rid of this snake, or we'll never be able to raise our chicks." The male crow agreed and they decided to seek advice from a wise old fox who lived nearby.The fox listened to their plight and then said, "I have a plan. Early in the morning, go to the riverbank where the royal ladies come to bathe. Pick up a valuable piece of jewelry, and drop it into the hole where the snake lives."The next morning, the crows did as the fox advised....

Day-35 Classes _6th to 8th English:       The Brave Little Mouse     Once upon a time, in a vast forest, there lived a small mouse named Max. Max was tiny and timid, often afraid of the larger animals that roamed the forest. He would scurry away at the first sign of danger, hiding in his burrow until he felt safe again. One sunny afternoon, as Max was foraging for food, he heard a loud, desperate roar echoing through the trees. Curious but fearful, he cautiously followed the sound and discovered a mighty lion trapped in a hunter’s net. The lion was thrashing about, trying to break free, but the more he struggled, the tighter the net became.Max felt a mix of fear and pity as he watched the powerful lion in distress. Gathering all his courage, he approached the lion and said, “Don't worry, I will help you.”The lion, exhausted and desperate, looked at the tiny mouse and laughed, “You? How can a small creature like you help me?”Ignoring the...
