A Visit To A Doctor

  A Visit To A Doctor 

 

One morning I woke up with a very sore throat. I could not swallow without feeling great pain. I told my mother about it.

              She decided that I should skip school that day. She was going to take me to see a doctor.

             At 9 a.m., my mother and I took the bus to town to see our family - doctor.

              We waited for a while at the clinic before I got to see the doctor. Dr . Ramesh examined me carefully. I had a slight fever and other symptoms that indicated that I might be coming done with influenza. So he gave me injection and prescribed some oral medicine for me. He also wrote me a medical certificate so that I could be absent from school for couple of days.

               By the time we reached home, my throat was definitely not as sore as it was before. The injection must be doing its work.

            I took the oral medicine diligently and after two days of rest I was well on my back to health again.

Walking In The Rain

 Walking In The Rain 

As I descended the steps of the bus, I saw dark clouds in the sky . It looked as through it would rain.

       I walked briskly toward home which was good kilometre away. My mother had warned me about getting caught in rain. I might catch a cold or something. I wondered if I could get home before it rained. 

            As if in reply to my thought the rain came down . I wanted to run for it but my heavy school bag discouraged me from doing so. So I walked on. Soon it was raining cats and dogs .

               In a short while I drenched from head to toes . Instead of feeling miserable I was actually enjoying it. The cool  water running down my wet body was quite pleasant .

                    Finally I reached home . My mother was shocked to see me soaking wet . She hurried me to the hot shower after which I put on clean dry clothes. She was worried that I might get sick.

              Well, I did not . In fact I felt great, having had such a wonderful experience walking in the rain.

The Elephant and Her Friends

 The Elephant and Her Friends

Once upon a time, a lone elephant made her way into a strange forest. It was new to her, and she was looking to make friends. She approached a monkey and said, “Hello, monkey! Would you like to be my friend?” The monkey said, “You are too big to swing like me, so I can’t be your friend.” The elephant then went to a rabbit and asked the same question. The rabbit said, “You are too big to fit in my burrow, so I can’t be your friend.” The elephant also went to the frog in the pond and asked the same question. The frog replied, “You are too heavy to jump as high as me, so I can’t be your friend.”

The elephant was really sad because she couldn’t make friends. Then, one day, she saw all the animals running deeper into the forest, and she asked a bear what the fuss was about. The bear said, “The lion is on the loose – they are running from him to save themselves.” The elephant went up to the lion and said, “Please don’t hurt these innocent people. Please leave them alone.” The lion scoffed and asked the elephant to move aside. Then, the elephant got angry and pushed the lion with all her might, injuring him. All the other animals came out slowly and started to rejoice about the lion’s defeat. They went to the elephant and said to her, “You are just the right size to be our friend!”

Moral of the Story

A person’s size does not determine their worth.

The Greedy Lion

 The Greedy Lion

On a hot day, a lion in the forest started feeling hungry. He was starting to hunt for his food when he found a hare roaming around alone. Instead of catching the hare, the lion let it go – “A small hare such as this can’t satisfy my hunger”, he said and scoffed. Then, a beautiful deer passed by and he decided to take his chances – he ran and ran behind the deer but since he was weak because of the hunger, he struggled to keep up with the deer’s speed. Tired and defeated, the lion went back to look for the hare to fill up his stomach for the time being, but it was gone. The lion was sad and remained hungry for a long time.

Moral of the Story

Greed is never a good thing.

The Woodcutter and the Golden Axe

 

The Woodcutter and the Golden Axe

There was once a woodcutter, working hard in the forest, getting wood to sell for some food. As he was cutting a tree, his axe accidentally fell into the river. The river was deep and was flowing really fast – he lost his axe and could not find it again. He sat at the bank of the river and wept.

While he wept, the God of the river arose and asked him what happened. The woodcutter told him the story. The God of the river offered to help him by looking for his axe. He disappeared into the river and retrieved a golden axe, but the woodcutter said it was not his. He disappeared again and came back with a silver axe, but the woodcutter said that was not his either. The God disappeared into the water again and came back with an iron axe – the woodcutter smiled and said it was his. The God was impressed with the woodcutter’s honesty and gifted him both the golden and silver axes.

Moral of the Story

Honesty is the best policy.

 The Boy Who Cried Wolf

In a village, lived a carefree boy with his father. The boy’s father told him that he was old enough to watch over the sheep while they graze in the fields. Every day, he had to take the sheep to the grassy fields and watch them as they graze. However, the boy was unhappy and didn’t want to take the sheep to the fields.  

He wanted to run and play, not watch the boring sheep graze in the field. So, he decided to have some fun. He cried, “Wolf! Wolf!” until the entire village came running with stones to chase away the wolf before it could eat any of the sheep. When the villagers saw that there was no wolf, they left muttering under their breath about how the boy had wasted their time. The next day, the boy cried once more, “Wolf! Wolf!” and, again, the villagers rushed there to chase the wolf away.

The boy laughed at the fright he had caused. This time, the villagers left angrily. The third day, as the boy went up the small hill, he suddenly saw a wolf attacking his sheep. 

He cried as hard as he could, “Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!”, but not a single villager came to help him. The villagers thought that he was trying to fool them again and did not come to rescue him or his sheep. The little boy lost many sheep that day, all because of his foolishness.

Moral of the Story

It is difficult to trust people who lie, so it’s important to always be truthful.
