THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
One day a boy was caught stealing onions from a vegetable shop. He was taken to a judge.The judge gave him three choices; eat all the onions and go, submit to a thousand lashes or pay a fine.
The boy without thinking said that he would like to eat all the onions. Very confidently, he started eating the onions but after eating a few, his eyes began to burn, his nose started running and his mouth felt as it was on fire.
The boy asked for the lashes instead but after a few lashes he couldn’t tolerate the pain. so , ultimately he said that he would pay the fine.
Now he understood that one should always think before speaking.
BLIND IMITATION IS BAD
One day, a saint while going somewhere with his disciples saw a pond full of fishes, on the way. He stopped there and started filling his mouth with fish. The disciples followed him. the saint said nothing to them and after some time moved ahead.
Then they reached another pond, where there were no fishes. the saint stood at its shore and started taking out the fishes he had swallowed. When the disciples saw this, they were amazed and also tried to vomit out the fishes, but after many attempts, they could only take out some dead fishes.
At this, the saint said, ” Fools, when you didn’t know how to keep the fishes alive in the stomach, then why did you imitate me?.”
Its truly said that never imitate anyone.
A MONKEY AND TWO CATS
Once upon a time two cats found a piece of cheese and cut it into two pieces. But one piece was slightly bigger than the other, both the cats wanted the bigger piece. then they went to a monkey and asked to sort out the matter.
The monkey said,” Don’t worry. I’ll make both pieces equal. Then it took a bite from the bigger piece. But this made the other piece larger. So it took a bite from the other piece. This continued till the pieces became very small.
Seeing this, the cats pleaded, ” Sir, We are satisfied. Let us have the pieces now.”
The shrewd monkey replied, ” This is my fee for sorting out the problem. Saying this, it gobbled up the remaining cheese”.
HEAVY LOAD
Once a rich merchant was walking along the road with his servant. Out of the blue, a labourer carrying a heavy sack, passed by him. The merchant was hit by the sack and his hat fell in a nearby drain.
The servant thought that the labourer would now get a good scolding, but to his amusement, the merchant instead of scolding the labourer asked the servant to help the labourer pick his sack.
When the labourer went ahead, the servant asked the merchant for such behaviour.
The merchant said, ” It was my mistake , not his. He was already carrying a heavy load. I should have walked carefully.”
Hearing this, the servant praised his master.
Moral: That a person should never blame others for his fault.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD
Once a teacher had a disciple who used to live in a hermitage. One day, the disciple was going somewhere. He hadn’t gone too far when suddenly it started raining. He returned and told this problem to his teacher. The teacher said, ” You should have faith in God. He will save you from all problems.”
The disciple obeyed and resumed his journey. He kept reciting the name of God and cleared all the hurdles.
Next day, the teacher had to go on the same route. When he reached a deep drain, he doubted whether God would save him or not. the teacher got drowned.
Thus, doubt drowns you and faith saves you.

WHO IS POOR

The merchant said, ” But I’m very rich.”
“Don’t you wish to earn more money?” asked the saint.
“yes” said the merchant.
” Those who wish for money always run after it. They can do anything to acquire it. No one is these people.” said the saint.
