Could you give me a short story with a moral, please?

Answer 1

"The Boy Who Cried Wolf"
Once upon a time, there was a boy who fooled people by crying for help and yelling that a wolf was attacking his sheep. He was so amused that people responded to his fabrications, so he did it the second time. People again responded to his call for help, only to find out that he had made fun of them. One day, a fierce, bad wolf attacked his sheep and he cried for help again; but people thought that he was up to one of his ploys once more, so they did not bother to respond...and so, the wolf devoured all his sheep. The boy cried in misery and realized his transgression, but it was too late.

Moral of the story? - When you lie, lie convincingly ( kidding...)
Be honest, it is the foundation of trust.

Answer 2

Once there was a good carpenter and he wanted to retire and informed his boss about his decision. The boss was sad about a good worker leaving his job and requested him to finally build a house. The carpenter agreed and did complete his assigned job but not with full involvement. He used substandard materials and did not plan the house properly. Finally on the farewell day his boss gave him the keys of the house and said that the house was his gift to the carpenter in recognition of his good work. What a shock! If he had known he would have built it well.

Moral:
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting. Willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Even if you live life for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.

Answer 3

During my second month of college, our professor
gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions until I read
the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
cleaning woman several times. She was tall,
dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if
the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,
you will meet many people. All are significant. They
deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
is smile and say "hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
name was Dorothy.

Answer 4

A bird, flying south for winter, gets caught up in a snow storm. It falls to the ground where it is almost dead.
However, a passing cow see the bird, and drops a warm pile of cr@p on it.
The bird, now warm and happy, begins to sing.
This draws the attention of a passing cat, who claws through the cr@p and eats the bird.

MORALS-
1. Not everyone who cr@ps on you is an enemy
2. Not everyone who removes you from cr@p is a friend
3. If you are covered in cr@p BUT happy, keep your mouth shut.
