The Story of Four Friends

Reviewed by: Dedoyin

Once upon a time, a deer, a crow, a mouse and a turtle were great friends.

One day the deer went out to graze. He was caught in a hunter net. In the evening, the deer did not return to his friends.

The mouse said to the crow, ‘Will you fly over the trees and find the deer? Then fly back to us and tell us where he is.’

The crow flew away. He came back after half an hour. He said, ‘Our friend, the deer is in the hunter’s net.’

‘What shall we do’? said the mouse and the turtle.

‘I will take mouse on my back,’ said the crow. ‘He will bite through the net and set the deer free.’

‘Yes,’ said the mouse. I will do that.’

‘And I will walk to the deer,’ said the turtle. The crow took the mouse on his back and flew with him to the deer.

The mouse bit through the net. The deer was free. The turtle got to his friends and all were very happy together.



Lesson Learnt: by Dedoyin

These animals were all small in themselves to release the deer but with unity, the impossible becomes possible. People say ‘Unity is Strength.’ Yet it is truer to imagine “Unity is Strength…when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.”

Snow-White and Rose-Red

Source: “The Fairy Book” by Miss Mulock Reviewed by: ‘ Dedoyin Shobo A poor widow lived alone in a little cottage, in front of which was a garden, where stood two little rose-trees: one bore white roses, the other red. The widow had two children, who resembled the two rose-trees: one was called Snow-white, and the other Rose-red. They were two of the best children that ever lived; but Snow-white was quieter and more gentle than Rose-red. Rose-red liked best to jump about in the meadows, to look for flowers and catch butterflies; but Snow-white sat at home with her mother, helped her in the house, or read to her when there was nothing else to do. The two children loved one another so much, that they always walked hand in hand; and when Snow-white said, “We will not forsake one another,” Rose-red answered, “Never, as long as we live;” and their mother added, “Yes, my children, whatever one has, let her divide with the other.” They often ran about in solitary places, and...

He requested many animals to draw the bone out of his throat; but none came to his help. At last the wolf offered a good reward to any animal that could draw out the bone. A crane heard this. He came to the wolf and said, “I am ready to help you.” The wolf said, “Please take out the bone and save my life. I shall give you a nice reward.” Then the crane thrust his long bill into the throat of the wolf and drew out the bone. “Now give me my reward,” said the crane. The wolf said, “What a fool you are! You put your head into the throat of a wolf and you have safely drawn it out. Is that not your reward?” So saying, the wolf went away.

The Story of Lion and Rabbit

Source: www.ImportantIndia.com Reviewed by: Dedoyin Once upon a time, there was a fierce lion that lived in a jungle. He killed many animals every day.   So one day, all the animals of the forest held a meeting. They talked about the matter. The clever fox said, ‘Let us offer to the lion an animal every day. Let us pray to him not to ask for more.’ The animals went to him and said, “Oh king of the Jungle, we have come to make you an offer. If you kill so many animals a day, there will be none left very soon. We will send an animal to your den every day. Please eat only one animal a day.” The lion thought about the matter and said, ‘I shall not have to go about to find my food. It is a good idea.’ Then he said to the animals, ‘All right! I accept your offer.’ The animals came away in joy. From that time one animal would go to the lion’s den. One day it was the turn of an old hare. While going on the road, he thought, ‘Before I die I must play a trick...
