Once upon a time, in a forest, there lived a cuckoo. She hada lovely voice. Whenever she sang a song, all animals in the forest would gather around her " Her voice is heavenly and pure. We have never heard anyone sing so beautifully" they would say. The cuckoo's voice was so sweet that the leaves and flowers danced at her voice. These animals praised her and eagerly waited to hear her sing. Even the king of the jungle, the lion was pleased too.

...Hearing all this time, the cuckoo thought "I must be divine bird! God has made me special. I am superior to all". The cuckoo become too arrogant. She started to ignore all the birds. Many birds and animals tried to advise her. A wise bird said "You are making a mistake by ignoring us. Don't be proud of your voice. Live happily with everyone else. When you are in trouble, we will help you. The winter season is about to arrive. The other bird will help you build a strong nest and store enough food for winter." But the Cuckoo did not pay any attention to his advice. One by one, the other birds started to ignore her too....

...Then, the winter came. Along with winter came snow, cold air and wind. All the birds has built strong nests and stored enough food so that they stored enough food so that they could survive the terrible weather. But the Cuckoo was suffering a lot. The snow and wind made her wings damp (slightly wet). She didn't have food. She was hungry and sick. None of the birds and animals came to help her. The Cuckoo fainted due to the cold weather and hunger. At first, the birds did not know about it. Then one day wise bird saw the Cuckoo in a miserable condition....

...At the wise bird's behest, the other birds took the cuckoo to the former house and gave her food. They took care of her despite their anger. After a few days,the Cuckoo regained her consciousness. When she saw that she was laying down in a warm room and the birds were taking care of her, she felt ashamed of herself! She realised her mistake. She understood that her voice alone was not everything. At that time of trouble only friends and well-wishers helped her. She apologized to the birds and animal and said, "I have understood my mistake. I am sorry, please forgive me". The bird forgave her. And the Cuckoo , a wiser bird lived together and sang happily with the others....

A monkey lived on the branches of huge tree that stood in the middle of a forest. The monkey was very greedy. He always wanted more of everything and was never satisfied. The other monkey often cautioned him. Beware, friend!" they would say. "Greed is never good. It might get into trouble some day." But the greedy monkey would not reform his ways.

One day, a royal procession happened to pass through the forest. The king, followed by his guards, was on his way to some other kingdom. The sun was right overhead as the procession reached the middle of the forest. "We shall halt here for lunch," ordered the king. The guards brought their horses to a halt and camped around a tree. It was the greedy monkey's home tree. The king went inside a tent to take rest till the guards served lunch. One of the guards spread some gram on the ground to dry. The gram was to feed the horses.

All this while, the monkey had been watching from the top of the tree. "Ah! fresh gram!" thought monkey, his mouth watering. "But how do I get to eat it?. The others were busy doing some other work, and for a while a patch of grams was left unguarded.

"There is my chance!" thought the monkey and climbed down the tree swiftly. Then he pounced upon the patch of gram and grabbed a fistful, he picked some more in his other fist bas well. Not satisfied yet, the greedy monkey popped the grams in the mouth full and both fists clinched he began to climb back home.

Hardlyhad the monkey climbed up a few paces, a gram slipped off his fist and well on the ground. "Oh, I can't lose that!" thought the monkey and climbed down to pick up the gram with clenched fists. Still greed would not allow the monkey to let go of the gram!.

He once again tried to pick up the fallen gram with his hands already full. This time some more grams fell off his fists. "No....no! cried the monkey and he opened his mouth, some more gram fell from his mouth. He frantically jumped left and right to collect his fallen grams. In this confusion, his fists loosened and all the grams got scattered on the ground!.

'Oh, what a mess I've made," the monkey muttered. As he was trying to pick up all scattered grams, the kings guards came back. They saw the monkey stealing the grams meant for horses. "Ae.....ae catch him!'' they shout. Even before the monkey realized, he was caught by the guards. After giving him a sound thrashing, the guards chased the monkey away from there. The greedy monkey finally learnt his lesson the hard way.
