Story of The Lion and the Mouse- Short Story for Kids

The Lion and the Mouse

Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down on him. This soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.
"Sorry, O King!" cried the little mouse. "Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days!”
The lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to help him that he lifted his paw and let him go.
After few days, a few hunters captured the lion, and tied him to a tree. After that they went in search of a wagon, to take him to the zoo.
Just then the little mouse happened to pass by. On seeing the lion’s plight, he ran up to him and gnawed away the ropes that bound him, the king of the jungle.
"Was I not right?" said the little mouse, very happy to help the lion. And thus the lion was saved
MORAL: Small acts of kindness will be rewarded greatly.

East Berlin and West Berlin - Inspirational story

Loved this: Back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin.   One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side.🙄  The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing, but they didn't. Instead they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side.☺  On top of this stack they placed the sign:   *“EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"*  How very true! You can only give what you have.  What do you have inside of you? Is it hate or love?  Violence or peace?  Death or life? Capacity to build or Capacity to destroy?  What have you acquired over the years?  *"EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"*  Think about it!☺

Interesting Story and Lesson on Two Seas - Dead Sea & Sea Of Galilee

*Here is an interesting story on two seas with some interesting lessons.* I had heard of Dead Sea in school. No one ever told me this side of the story. You may find it interesting. I look forward to your perspective. A tale of Two Seas   Sitting in the Geography class in school, I remember how fascinated I was when we were being taught all about the Dead Sea. As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea (and as my Geography teacher pointed out, if you understood that, it would guarantee 4 marks in the term paper!) It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% - almost 10 times the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. *Nothing lives in the Dead Sea.* And hence the name: Dead Sea. While the Dead Sea has remained etched in my memory, I don't seem to ...

Dust If You Must - Ladies this is for each & every one of you.

Ladies this is for each & every one of you. Remember ... a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it. 'A house   becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture .'    I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect - 'in case someone came over'.  Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun! NOW, when people visit, I don't have to explain the 'condition' of my home . They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun.  If you  haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice. Life is short. Enjoy it!  Dust if you must  ........    but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake cookies or a cake and lick the spoon or plant a  seed, ponder the difference between want and need?  Dust if you must,   but th...
