TRUE LEADER

   TRUE LEADER
********††*******;
 Once upon a time there lived a mother crab and her baby crab.One bright sunny day they emerged out of their corral to peregrinate on the dry sand.The baby crab promonaded ahead of the. mother crab.The mother crab was a tad worried about losing the sight of her child.After sometime she admonished the baby crab,
"Why don't you hold yourself straight?Can't you footslog gracefully? Why are you twisting and turning all the time?"
Being constantly pestered,the baby crab gurgled with ire,"Mum,example is better than precept.Why don't you traipse ahead of me and show me the right way to walk?"

They were not wealthy but 
were able to make both ends meet comfortably.
One day the postman delivered to them a telex.It came as a bolt from the blue.Their dad was seriously leverish and needed nursing.Their mum had to go to him without brooking any delay.So the sisters started making preparations for their mum's jaunt.They also needed some money for their dad's treatment.
    While everybody was busy in packing the bags,Bindi suddenly evanesced.She vamoosed after a couple of hours.Her cranium was wrapped with a tippet.She gave her mother Rs.two thousands.Her mummy and sisters were astonished.Where did she get money from.Then Bindi took off the tippet.Everyone was cut to the quick to see her long hair barbered very short.She had sold her hair to get the money to help in her dad's treatment.Tears trickled down her mother's cheeks at this hecatomb of Bindi.

NO JOB IS MENIAL

Jai ma Kali
,************     No Job Is Menial
                        /////////////////9/
One fine morning the first President of America.Mr. George Washington was peregrinating down the streets.He happened to see an assemblage of labourers struggling hard to heft a brobdingnagian bole of wood.He noticed a gentleman standing nearby and enjoining the labourers.
    He tiptoed to the gentleman and asked,"Why don't you give them a hand?"

  "Me?"snapped the gentlemen,”Do you know wh
am I?I am the superviser.How can I extend a helping hand in this menial work.I am supposed to get this work done by giving them orders."
"If it is so,then I shall help them."Trilled George Washington.He helped the labourers heft the log.While leaving he said to the supervised,"Mr. supervised,I am always at your beck and call.please summon me whenever you need my services."
  The blabberghasted superviser asked,"Who are you?"


  "I am George Washington,the President."
  The plight and embarrassment  of that superviser can well be imagined than described.

SELFISHNESS

    Once upon a time there lived three reavers in a forest. Each one of them was egoist and money-grubber.They would simultaneous commit heists.
     One night, they reaved an opulent man's villa.They decamped with oodles of gold and cash.When they started to share the booty among themselves, a frightful arguement ensued  as each one claimed the biggest share.One of them advised that they could share it later.They kept the booty under a larch and covered it with a sheet.Then they went to zizz.
  Next morning, one of them said ,"I am going to the town to fetch some victuals.On returning, we shall divide the booty."The other consented.This guy planned to annihilate the other two by giving them the poisoned victuals .Thus he would be able to grab away all the gold and cash.So he poisoned the food bought by him.
    The two other reavers conspired to kill  this person as he returned with nosh.They thought that they could take half each.AsSoon as the man came with food, they killed him.They were on cloud nine and began to chomp on the nosh delightfully. Soon they too fell dead.

Once upon a time two gadabouts were peregrinating in a jungle.It was a scalding hot day.Both were exhausted and tired.So they lay down in the umbra of a leafy conifer.Soon they fell into a zizz.
  After a couple of hours, they woke up fully chillaxed.Looking at the conifer, one of them queried,"I see no fruits.Does it not bear fruits?
The other man replied,"It is a fruitless conifer.Neither it produces fruits nor good wood.It is most inutile conifer.Don't play ducks and drakes with your time seeking fruits."
    At this the conifer butted in, exclaiming,"How can you say I am a inutile larch? People like you relax under my umbra to escspe the searing heat.Instead of owing a sense of gratitude to me, you are condemning me.How disgusting!"
    The two gadabouts were speechless.

      ******************************
      Once upon a time a raveneously hungry lion was moseying in a jungle in search of a prey.He happened to see a chubby goat on a jagged tump feeding on desiccated grass.The sight of the goat multiplied his hunger manyfold.But as he was incapable of mounting the tump, he thought of a flimflam to make the goat clamber down.He mildly tweetered,
"Hi Miss Goat, how do you do ? "
"Hi Sir! I am in fine fettle.Thank you, sir," baaed the goat.
"I observe you have become lean and thin by feeding on shrivelled grass.Can't you see the scrumptious green grass down here? Get down and eat to your heart's content.you will regain your lost weight",cajoled the lion.
  The goat was fully aware of the lion's ulterior motives in cajoling her to climb down.She bleated,
   "I certainly see the green grass, but I also see a famished lion standing there waiting for a prey.I will sojourn here further."
   The lion sussed that the goat was perspicacious enough to be fooled into coming down.He slinked away having egg on his face.

  Once upon a time a chubby hare sojourned in a woodland.Being social, he chummed up a làrge number of critters in the hope that during emergency they would come to his rescue.
     One day while he was chillaxing in the brilliant sunshine outside his burrow,the shrill howls of some poochs pierced his ears.Although he was utterly affrightted of being gormandized by the poochs,yet he was fully confident of being saved by his chums.So he approached his favourite friend Stallion and squeaked,"Dada,I am in dire straits of being preyed upon by the poochs.Please make me perch on your back and schlep me to a safer and secure destination.'
   But the horse made a flat refusal by nickering,"I have to lug my master to the market.Go to your dear friend Bull.He will,as sure as eggs in eggs,carrry you to a safe place."
 Crestfallen at the attitude of the stallion,the hare approached the Bull.But the Bull bellowed,"I am going on a "Date"with a pulchritudinous teenage cow friend.I don't want to miss this golden opportunity.Why don
't you seek the help of goat?He will help you."
  But the goat too ditched him by bleating,"My chine is badly aching.If you mount me my backbone will be crushed.Seek the help of Ram."
   The Ram candidly baaed,"I don't want to poke my nose into the internal affairs of others.Pl. leave me alone."
   Poor hare ditched by his friends on whom he had reposed trust felt shattered and jettisoned .
  The pooch reached close by.The hare at once took to his heels with the greatest ferocity at his command.He was able to save his life by the skin of his teeth.

                 *******************
Once upon a time there existed a mighty larch in a certain woodland.A lot number of birds had carved their niches in its various boughs.Among them, the oldest and wisest was an Owl.
         One  day  the Owl noticed that the two boughs of the larch had come too close to each other and were abrading against each other, causing the eruption of sparks .He got alarmed , summoned all the birds and hooted to them ,
   "Friends, look at those two branches. They are constantly chafing agaist each other causing the production of sparks.In dry weather the sparks may set fire to the tree.So my sincere advice to you is to transfer your nests to a safer place."
  The birds giggled contemptuously at his saner advice. A woodpecker blurted out,"Sir,I presume the age has blunted your mind and made you a tad mousy.This tree is very mighty and as old as the Alps ana Alpines.We have been dwelling here for a considerably long time and are as comfortable as a pea in a pod.Why should we jettison this tree at your
Inutile speculation?"
   The other birds chorused in agreement.
   Only few birds followed the Owl to a safer place.
 Then,on a sweltering day,the sparks generated 
by abrading the branches together set the tree on a wild fire as predicted by the wise Owl.The fire incinerated all the living things !!

But the gatekeeper stalled him from entering the palace.He whispered ,"First promise to give me  fifty percent of whatever you get as a reward."
Having no alternative , the poor fisher yielded to his bullying tactics.
   The potentate was 'cock-a-hoop'to get the fish.He asked the fisher,'What reward do you wish ?"
The fisher trilled,"I wish to be larrupped 100 times on my bare back."
  The entire kingdom was shell shocked at this outlandish reward.
When he had been whacked 50 times , he screamed "Halt, there is a partner in this business. Half of the reward is to be given to him.It is the gatekeeper."

"Sir, play a melodious tune on the pipe and I shall piroutte to that tune for the last time of my life."

His children,watching with curiosity,saw the serpent coming back to life.One of the children stooped down and stroked it fondly.But the viper hissing furiously bared his fangs and was about to bite him when the woodman,in the twinkling of an eye,seized the ax and chomped it in two.

   A tad later, the nimrods arrived.They inquired if anyone had seen the escaping Hart.On getting a negative responce from the stable boys who were chillaxing, the nimrods vamoosed.
  After a short while, the Master of the ox-stall came.Casting a cursory glance at the pile, he saw two prongs popping up the pile.Sensing something unusual, he enjoined the stable boys to rummage through the pile of hay.On doing so, the poor Hart was discovered.The stable boys butchered him mercelessly.

 So he chewed the cud for a suitable trick to trap the prey.He warbled--
"Hey handsome rooster,how are you ?"
"I am in fine fettle." Cackled the rooster.
"Have you heard the latest good news?"
" Which news?"
"The king of the beasts has decreed that henceforth ,no beast shall kill any bird.All beasts and birds shall live peacefully and in complete harmony with each other."
"Wow! Its great."
The rooster craned his neck to look forward.The Reynard asked what was he looking for ? The rooster responded," Our master's mongrel is coming here.Let us share the news with him."
Hearing this, a thrill of horror shimmied down his spine. In the twinkling of an eye,he about-turned and took to his heels ignoring the rooster's taunts to tarry.

******-************************
  Once upon a time there dwelt a bumptious Reynard in a woodland.He chummed up a moggie who also inhabited that jungle..In due course of time they became bossom-buddies.They would attend to the call of nature,bathe and dine simultaneously.
  The reynard was very vainglorious and had a nasty habit of always tooting his own horns,belittling other's qualities of head and heart.The moggie was a tad modest and a wee bit intelligent.
 One day they met on the bank of a river and plonked down under the umra of a larch.Soon they indulged into inutile Slabbering.As usual.the reynard  bragged,"I have more than hundred    stratagems at my command to hoodwink and dodge the enemy.I can never be preyed on by the beasts of prey."
 The moggie meowed,"I have only one subterfuse to escape the enemy.It has always stood me in good stead and I fully rely on it."
 Hearing this the Reynard giggled contemptuously. As they were engrossed in 
prattling,a shrill howling of a pack of hounds approaching towards them rent the sky.They were alarmed.The moggie in the twinkling of eye scrabbled up the larch and camouflaged herself behind the swigs.She then said to the Reynard,"This is my device to escape the enemy.What flimflam are you going to use to be safe?"
The reynard thought of his first plan.Then started mulling over other tricks.While he was still in the hallucination of a choice of stratagem to escape,the hounds emerged on the spot.They pounced upon the reynand    and ruthlessly tore his body to tatters.
The moggie who was looking was cut to the quick at this.She sighed,"Had he stuck to only one trick,he would have saved himself."

they saw the ranids hopping up and down the water.
         Soon the boys,out of sheer fun,began to 
cannonade the frogs with stones.While several
ranids were grievously bruised,some succumbed to their fatal injuries.The boys were thrilled and felt giddy pleasure to see this.
        when the lads did not stop,the oldest ranid,girding up his loins,popped his head out of the surface of water and rasped loudly,
   "Hey yobs,for God's sake,quit playing this 
sanguinary game.Don't you realise the incalculable harm being perpetrated on us by you guys without any rhyme or reason?What is fun to you is quietus to us."
     Better sense prevailed upon the boisterous yobs. They quit playing and dispersed quitely to their hogans.

 Once upon a time a vainglorious peacock dwelt in a forest.Apart from being supercilious,he had a nasty habit of blowing his own trumpet about his beauty
all the time.
  one fine morning it was drizzling.The peacock got excited and  started to jitterbug. A crane who happened to come there,was spellbound to watch the peacock jouncing and bouncing gladly.
He strutted to the peacock and greeted him with fulsome encomiums.
    But the peacock on seeing the crane,burst into peals of laughters over his dull feathers.Swatting him with his quills,the peacock tee-heed ,'' You have so dullsville vibrissaes. Look at mine,how
coloured and beautiful they are .Don't you feel shy?"

   Feeling humiliated,the crane retorted,
'' I may have dull feathers,but with these I can soar high up in the sky,whereas you having bright plumes,can only swagger about on the ground.Your vibrissaes are quite inutile.

         The vainglorious peacock was humbled.

     Once upon a time a lion resided in a woodland
adjacent to a village.The lion had developed some
human characteristics.
  One day he was relaxing outside his lair when he saw a pulchritudious mademoiselle strutting to her shanty in the village.Her splendid beauty made the lion fall,hook,line and sinker,in love with her at the very first sight.Her bewitching beauty enthralled him so much that he just went bonkers.Unable to control his feelings,he approached the parents of the girl and trilled,
 "The moment I saw your daughter,I fell,head over heels in love with her.My love is true love.I love her like Majnu loved Laila,Mahiwal loved Sony and Saleem loved Anarkali.I cannot live without her.My condition is like a fish without water.I propose to tie the nuptial knot with her."
      The parents of the damsel were stunned at the outlandish proposal.They could not made a flat refusal lest it might rile the beast.They chewed the cud for a suitable solution.Then the father warbled,"Your Majesty,we are honoured by your proposal.We would have given you a green signal but we are apprehensive that during love-making,your sharp talons and two front big teeth might badly bruise our tender lass.We humbly advise you to trim your claws and extract your teeth.Then we shall gladly entertain your 
proposal."
      The lion was so blind in love that he got his claws barbered and two big front teeth yanked out.Then he again approached the parents.
   The parents laughed contemptuously at the clawless and teethless lion.Now they were fearless.They chased away the lion and challenged him to do his worst.

           ***************************
   Once upon a time a machiavellian reynard,a fearful lion and a chubby cuddy inhabited a dense woodland.The cuddy was kind and simple.
He kept himself sequestered from the company of these two murderous beasts.One day the sly reynard,with some ulterior motives,tiptoed to the
villa of the lion and prostrating before him,
panegyrized him to the hilt.By pleasing the lion,
she was successful in chumming up with him.
 Both would go simultaneously for hunting.One
day they did not get any prey.As per advice of the reynard,the lion sent an emissary to the cuddy who,after saluting the cuddy,warbled:
      "O noble creature,the lion yearns for your friendship.He desires the two families to ally with each other.Would you mind meeting him?"
     Hearing this,the cuddy felt himself floating in the seventh sky!He was as happy as a lark.
  He-hawing his favourite song,he arrived at the
scheduled site of meeting.No sooner did he reach there than the lion pounced upon him and tore his chubby body to tatters.Then he said to the reynard:
   "Here is our dinner.I am going to take a bath.
Don't dare touch the prey during my absence.
 Woe betide you if you dare so."Warning him the lion hurtled out.

   When the lion did not vamoose for a long time,
the reynard unable to suppress the pangs of hunger,scooped out the brain of the prey and chomped on it hurriedly.
  On his return,finding the brain missing,the lion flew into unbridled fury.He gurgled with ire:
   "Where is the brain?How dare you defy my 
command ?"
  "Your Majesty, the prey had no brain. Do you realise had it brain,would it have fallen into our
trap?"
    The lion was nonplussed and speechless.

  Once upon a time a crofter inhabited a hamlet.
For help in his job,he had domesticated a
number of beasts of burden.Among them was a
moke whom he loved very much and fed him on
nourishing and scrumptious viands.He would 
mount the moke while going for jaunts.
    One day the crofter visited his stables to see the pets.With him was his pet canine.The canine
wagging his tail,started frisking and frolicking
and licking his master's hands.The crofter poked
out some biscuits from his pocket and gave to the dog to chomp.Then he plopped on a chair to give instructions to his lackeys.The lapdog hopped on his lap.The master stroked him lovingly.Seeing this,the moke was green with envy.He decided to emulate the canine to please the crofter.
  Breaking loose from his headstall,the moke dashed forward and started jitterbugging.The crofter,amused by this outlandish behaviour of the moke,could not control his laughter.Feeling
emboldened by the laughter of his master,the moke,emulating the lapdog,put his feet on the shoulders of the crofter and attempted to plop down on his lap.
  Now the servitors of the crofter hurtled forward
with bamboos and pitchforks and thrashed the moke black and blue to teach him a lesson.

             ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Once upon a time there lived a rodent in his hole in a larch on the bank of a river.He would get enough viands to fill his gut and lived smugly
and peacefully.
    In the river,resided a ranid who would dart out occasionally from the water to the bank and
watch the rodent amusingly,nibbling at something.The ranid chummed up with the rodent.
    One bright afternoon the rodent after gulping
down a heavy meal felt dopey and woozy and went into a siesta on the bank.At that moment the ranid emerged out of the water.Seeing the rodent slumbering, he thought of a mischievous 
prank.
   
    He,giggling to himself, moored the tail of the rodent with his leg.Then croaking,"Ready,set and go"leapt up and down,dragging the rodent.
The startled rodent let out a yowl of intense pain.
But the clumsy ranid went on bouncing and flouncing hither and thither,hopping up and down,unmindful of grave persecutions suffered by the helpless and hapless rodent and his pathetic cries.After frolicking and frisking on the bank,the lummox ranid plunged into the water.
 Gleefully croaking his favourite song,the ranid gamboled up and down in the water, causing the
unfortunate death of the poor rodent. The dead body lay floated on the surface of the water.
  Now a famished hawk hovering above,saw the rodent.He scooched down and clutched the rodent in his talons and flew to his nest.As the stupid ranid was tethered with the rodent,he was also toted off.The hawk had a hearty meal of the
 luscious rodent and scrumptious ranid.

      Once upon a time a gentle camel lived in a forest.At a stone's throw from his dwelling,resid-
ed a puckish jackal.Both had only a nodding acq-
uiantance with each other.The jackal with some ulterior motives,one day approached the camel and showering fulsome praise of his head and heart upon him,chummed up with him.In due course they became fast friends.
       One day the jackal came to know about a field across the river chock-a-block with luscious
melons.His mouth watered .But he was unable to go there as he could not cross the river.He went to the camel and geckered to him about the melons. The camel too was greatly tempted.
  They decided to go there.The sly jackal mounted the camel and they crossed the river and reached there.They started chomping on the scrumptious melons delightfully.
 The jackal's gut was filled to the brim a tad earlier.He geckered to the camel,"It is my habit to howl after a heavy meal."The camel who was still half-fed,tried to restrain the jackal from doing so. But the wicked jackal turned a deaf ear to his pleadings and started yowling.
  The owner of the field heard the cry of the jackal.He dashed to the spot with a bamboo.On seeing him,the jackal darted away without telling the camel who was still busy in eating.The hapless camel was entrapped and the owner thrashed him black and blue.
     The lugubrious camel ambled painfully to the river where the jackal was waiting for him.He jumped on the camel's back to cross the river.When the camel reached the middle of the river,he grunted to jackal,"It is my habit to wallow in the water after a heavy meal.I am going to roll down."
   A thrill of horror shimmied down the spine of the jackal.He pleaded with the camel not to do so as he would be submerged into the water.But the 
camel scoffed at his him and rolled down.Conse-
quently the impish jackal met his watery grave .

                 *****************************
       Once upon a time there lived a mercandiser in a hamlet. He dealt in salt. To vend his mercandise, he had to travel to the market by crossing a rill. So he domesticated a burro to tote the commodity to the market.He would lade the sacks,chock-a-block with salt on the back of the burro and made it accompany him to the bazaar.
    One day while crossing the rill,the burro with a very heavy weight on his back,stumbled and tumbled into the water.The sacks were drenched completely.Consequently a large quantity of salt deliquesced and the load became light enough to be lugged on comfortably.The burro was very happy and resolved to lessen the load by this bunco in future.
     The next day the cunning burro intentionally tripped and fell into the water.He was successful in reducing the weight of the salt.
  On the third day,he successfully repeated the act.
 Next time when burro,chuckling to himself,
again used his gyp to decrease the weight,the 
merchant smelt a rat and thought of a plan to pay back the burro in his own coin.
   
     The next day,the merchant laded on burro the sacks of cotton instead of salt.The burro gloating over his successful bunco,again slipped into the water.The cotton swelled with water and its weight almost doubled.The poor burro had to haul the burden by the skin of his teeth.He was full of remorse and repented for hoodwinking his master.
    The trader taught him a good lesson.

     A bee while flying suddenly flumped down on a river.It was being swept away by the high current of the water.All its efforts to save itself proved as futile as the efforts of a butterfly to reach the vertex of the sky !
      A kind dove was sitting on a branch of a larch at the bank of the river.Seeing the pathetic plight of the bee,he was chock-a-block with compassion.In order to save the bee,he plucked a broad leaf and dropped it on the river.
  The bee perched on the leaf and was saved.It buzzed to the dove,'' I am beholden to you,sir,for saving my life.Some day I may be of some help to you.'' When its pinions were dried,it winged its way to its hive.
      Some days rolled by.One day a nimrod took a potshot at the dove and was about to pull the trigger of the shotgun when the bee saw him.It realised that the dove was in imminent danger of being shot down.In the twinkling of an eye,it landed softly on the hand of the nimrod and urticated him very hard.The nimrod let out a yowl of pain .His hand was shaken and he missed the aim.In the meantime the dove,casting a gratuitous glance at the bee,fluttered away to safety.
