    The Three Promises A young man named Aditya was walking through a forest. He came across a well. Aditya was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. But he was shocked to see a tiger, a snake and a man trapped inside the well, which was dry. All three pleaded with Aditya to pull them up. Aditya was scared. “What if the tiger eats me? What if the snake bites me?” he thought. But the tiger assured him that he wouldn’t harm Aditya if he rescued him. The snake hissed in agreement. Aditya threw a long rope inside the well to help the three out. The tiger came out first. “Thank you for helping me friend. If you are ever in this forest again, come visit me at my home. I promise to repay you for your help,” the tiger said. The snake was the next to come out. “You are a brave young man. I promise that I will be there whenever you need my help. All you need to do is take my name,” the snake said. Finally, it was the turn of the human. “Thank you. Thank you, good sir. I work as a gol...

The Lion and The Hare There was a time, the lion would go out hunting and kill whichever animal he could catch. The animals requested the lion not to wipe them out. They offered to send one animal every day at noon as meal to the king. The lion king agreed, and since then he had stopped hunting. His meal arrived at his cave every day at noon. But not this day. The lion was getting impatient. His stomach was growling. He was getting angry too. Just then, he spotted a rabbit approaching him. “So, my food is late and so small! These animals need to be taught a lesson,” the lion thought. “But first let me fill my stomach,” he decided. “How dare you arrive so late?” he growled at the hare. “I’m sorry, My Lord. I would have reached here on time. But I was delayed by this new lion in the jungle,” the hare said. The lion was shocked, “I command you to tell me all about this lion.” “This lion wanted to gobble me up. But I told him that I was already on my way to meet you. The lion laughed at m...

     The Four Friends An unusual group of four friends lived deep inside a forest. The four friends were: a deer, a crow, a mole and a tortoise. They would meet every afternoon under a shady banyan tree and talk for hours. One day, the deer did not turn up at the usual time. The mole, tortoise and crow were worried. The mole turned to the crow, “I think you better fly around and see where the deer is.” The crow nodded her head and flew away. She didn’t have to fly too far to find the deer. Unfortunately, the deer was trapped in a hunter’s net! “Friend deer! What happened?” the crow cried. The deer sighed, “I am normally very careful in where I put my step. But this net was well-hidden. I am now trapped. It is only a matter of time before the hunter gets here.” “I’ll get some help,” the crow said as she flapped away. She quickly flew to the banyan tree where the mole and tortoise were waiting. She told them everything that had happened. “Friend tortoise, you wait right he...

  The Talkative Turtle A Talkative Turtle called Tom lived in a lake deep inside a forest. He would talk all day long with anyone- from tiny ants to giant elephants. But Tom liked to talk most with his best friends-a pair of geese called Bo and Mo. The three friends lived in the same lake. One day, they noticed that the water in the lake was drying up. It hadn’t rained all year. Many animals in the forest were leaving the forest in search of water. Bo and Mo decided to leave too. With a heavy heart, they came to say goodbye to TomBut why are you saying goodbye?” asked Tom “Without water, there soon won’t be any fish in the lake. I too want to leave.” “We would love to take you along,” Bo said sadly. “But you cannot fly. How will you come with us?” “Oh, that’s not a problem. We just have to find a sturdy log of wood. You hold the log with your beaks and fly. I will hold on to the wood with my mouth. That way we can all leave together,” Tom said.Mo looked worried, “That’s a nice pla...
