   Once upon a time a knot of ranids dwelt in a plash in a village.They were in a cheerful state of mind and passing their days comfortably
with oodles of insects to feed on.
  But one day,as the ill luck would have it,some 
village chaps bunched by the side of the plash for fun and frolic. While they were playing,
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.

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.

  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.

    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 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.

  Then Guruji asked the apologists to go to that room and pick up their respective balloons within 5 minutes. They skedaddled to that room and frantically searched for the balloon bearing their name.In the process they pushed ,nudged and jostled each other.Utter chaos and confusion prevailed there.At the termination of  5 minutes ,none was able to find his balloon.
   Then Guruji directed them to randomly cull a balloon and hand over it to him whose name was scribbled on it.Within five minutes each one got his respective balloon.
 Guruji thus preached,"Life is like this.We care for our own happiness,not bothering about other's happiness.That is why we don't get happiness.If we give happiness to others,we will automatically be happy ."

    After some days the father asked the son to fetch the apples.As soon as the son opened the almirah, an obnoxious smell greeted his nostrils. He was flabbergasted to see all the apples were rotten and decayed.

Once upon a time there was a cool pool in a certain village.A ranid and a goldfish dwelt in that pool. While the fish was as exquisite as a peacock, the ranid was as ugly as sin.His body was chock-a-block with sinful warts.
  The goldfish had a nasty habit of rodomontading about her beauty all the time.She would make fun of the warty ranid and hurl inelegant pokes at him for being so disgusting and ugly.
  One day the goldfish,flaunting her wispy tail,blurted out to ranid,"O warty ranid,don't you realise how stunningly beautiful I am?"
 The ranid kept mum.
"I can comprehend your stony silence.You are ashamed of your ugliness.You envy me for being the prettiest creature in the whole universe."Gloated the goldfish.
 The ranid kept his mouth closed.
 The fish burst into loud guffaws. Just then,a lurking crane swooped down on the fish .He grabbed  the fish by his talons and soared high in the sky.This time the ranid bubbled,
                 "GOOD  BYE!"

 MORAL:--
      1) PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL.
     2) NEVER MAKE FUN OF THE IMPERFECTIONS OF OTHERS.NO ONE IS PERFECT !!
