One hot summer day, two travelers were walking along a dusty road. After a while, they grew tired and spotted a big tree by the roadside. It was a plane tree, with wide branches full of leaves. Grateful for the shade, they sat down beneath it to rest. As they looked up at the tree, one traveler said, “What a useless tree! It doesn’t give us any fruit or nuts. And its wood isn’t good for anything either.” To their surprise, the tree seemed to whisper in the breeze, “How ungrateful you are! Here I am, giving you shelter from the burning sun, and yet you call me useless?” Moral: Every part of nature has its own value. Don’t take blessings for granted.

One hot day, a thirsty crow was flying around, looking for water. He searched for a long time but couldn’t find any. Tired and weak, he was about to give up when he saw a water jug under a tree. The crow flew down and looked inside. There was a little water at the bottom of the jug! He tried to put his beak inside, but the neck of the jug was too narrow. He tried to tip the jug over, but it was too heavy. Then the crow had an idea. He saw some small stones lying nearby. He picked up the stones one by one and dropped them into the jug. As he did this, the water slowly rose higher and higher. Soon, it reached the top. The clever crow drank the water and flew away happily. Moral: Use your brain and don’t give up—there’s always a way!

Once upon a time in a village in India, there was a man who carried water from a stream to his master's house every day. He used a long stick across his neck with two large pots hanging from each end. One of the pots was perfect and always delivered a full pot of water. The other pot had a crack in it. By the time they reached the house, it would only be half full. This happened every day for two years. The perfect pot was proud of its work. But the cracked pot was ashamed. It felt like it was failing, doing only half the job it was supposed to do. One day, by the stream, the cracked pot spoke to the man. "I'm so sorry," it said. "Because of this crack, I lose water on the way, and you've been getting only half the amount from me. I've been useless all this time." The man smiled kindly. "Let me show you something on our way back," he said. As they walked home, the cracked pot noticed beautiful flowers growing along one side of th...

One day, a young woman told her father how hard her life had become. She was tired of struggling all the time. Every time she solved one problem, a new one came up. She felt like she just couldn’t take it anymore. Her father, who was a chef, didn’t say a word. Instead, he took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed them on the stove. Once the water started boiling, he put potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second, and ground coffee beans in the third. He let everything boil for a while without explaining anything. His daughter waited impatiently, wondering what this was all about. After about 20 minutes, he turned off the heat. He placed the soft potatoes in a bowl, took out the hard-boiled eggs, and poured the coffee into a cup. Then he asked, “What do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she replied quickly. “Look closer,” he said. “Touch the potatoes.” She did—and noticed they were soft. Then he asked her to break an egg. She peeled it and sa...

One morning, all the employees arrived at the office and saw a notice on the front door. It said: "Yesterday, the person who was holding you back from growing in this company passed away. A funeral has been arranged in the gym. You are invited to attend." Everyone was shocked and felt a little sad. But soon, curiosity took over. Who was this person? Who was stopping my progress? they wondered. Slowly, they all headed to the gym. As more and more people gathered, the excitement grew. Security was even called in to manage the crowd. One by one, employees approached the coffin, eager to see who it was. But when they looked inside, each person went quiet. They were speechless. Inside the coffin was a mirror. And next to it was a sign: “The only person who can stop you from growing… is YOU.” Everyone who looked into the mirror saw their own reflection. That moment made them realize something important. Your success, your happiness, your progress—none of it dep...

Bhola had a donkey named Khandya. Bhola was a kind and patient man, but Khandya was very lazy and always looked for ways to avoid work. One day, while carrying heavy sacks of salt, Khandya slipped and fell into a river. When he got up, he noticed that the load had become much lighter—the salt had dissolved in the water. Khandya was happy and thought he had found a clever trick. From that day on, Khandya made sure to fall into the river every time he carried salt. Bhola soon realized what the donkey was doing. He was losing money because of Khandya’s laziness. So, he decided to teach him a lesson. The next day, instead of salt, Bhola packed the sacks with cotton. Khandya, as usual, fell into the river thinking the load would get lighter. But to his shock, the cotton soaked up the water and became much heavier. Khandya could barely carry it. Bhola also scolded and gave him a few whacks. Khandya finally understood that being lazy only brings trouble. After that, he stopped playing...
