Reviewed by: Dedoyin


Tom and John were two friends. One day they were passing through a dense forest.

John said, “Friend, I am afraid there are wild beasts in this forest. What will we do if a wild beast attacks us?”

“Don’t be afraid, John,” said Tom, “I shall stand by your side if any danger comes. We shall fight together and save ourselves.” Thus talking they went on their journey.

But suddenly they saw a bear coming towards them. Tom at once got up the nearest tree. He did not think what his friend would do.

John did not know how to climb a tree. He had no way of escape. He was helpless.

But soon he took a plan. He fell flat on the ground like a dead man.

The bear came up to John. It smelt his nose, ears and eyes. It took him to be dead and went away.

Then Tom came down from the tree. He said to John, “What did the bear whisper in your ear?”

John said, “The bear told me not to trust a friend who leaves his friend in danger.”

The price of our relationships is better known in trouble times. A good friend is one that will stand by us when it is convenient or not. Friendship requires energy, commitment and lots of sacrifice.

The Little Glass Slipper

Source: www.bedtimestoriesonline.org Reviewed by: Dedoyin There was once a very rich gentleman who lost his wife, and having loved her exceedingly, he was very sorry when she died. Finding himself quite unhappy for her loss, he resolved to marry a second time, thinking by this means he should be as happy as before. Unfortunately, however, the lady he chanced to fix upon was the proudest and most haughty woman ever known; she was always out of humour with every one; nobody could please her, and she returned the civilities of those about her with the most affronting disdain. She had two daughters by a former husband. These she brought up to be proud and idle. Indeed, in temper and behaviour they perfectly resembled their mother; they did not love their books, and would not learn to work; in short they were disliked by everybody. The gentleman on his side too had a daughter, who in sweetness of temper and carriage was the exact likeness of her own mother, whose death he...

The Fox and the Grapes

Source: www.importantindia.com Reviewed by: Dedoyin One day a fox travelled many miles and was very hungry. He looked about for food but found nothing to eat. At last he saw a grapevine on which fine bunches of ripe, black grapes were hanging. The Fox stood up but the grapes were too high above his head. He made several jumps upwards; still the grapes were beyond his reach. When he could not get at them by any means, he turned away. While going away, he tried to console himself saying, “The grapes are sour, and not as ripe as they look!” Lesson Learnt: by Dedoyin In every circumstance, we must learn to look at the positive side. Even in every bad situation, there are some hidden blessings therein. The story teaches us to be grateful for every circumstance we find ourselves, things may have turned out worse.
