#074 THE TWO FRIENDS AND THE BEAR



Vijay and Raju were friends. One day while on holiday, exploring a forest they knew that anything dangerous can happen to them at any time in there. So they promised each other that they would remain united in any case of danger. 
Suddenly, they saw a large bear approaching them.
Naturally, they were both frightened, so Raju, who knew how to climb trees, climbed one quickly. He didn’t spare a thought for his friend who had no idea how to climb.

Vijay thought for a moment. He had heard that animals don’t attack dead bodies, so he fell to the ground and held his breath. The bear sniffed him, it smelt in his ears, thought he was dead, and went on its way slowly because the bears do not touch the dead creatures.

Moral Stories



Raju, after he had climbed down from the tree asked Vijay, “What did the bear whisper in your ears?”
Vijay replied, “The bear advised me not to believe a false friend and to keep away from you.”

Moral of the story: A friend in need is a friend indeed. A true Friend is the one who always supports and stands by you in any situation.

    In my opinion, i like this story because it shows you how a person could say you are his friend and that he would never betray you, but in the end those people are the first ones to do it and it does hurt because you give them all your trust and when you most need them when you are in trouble or things get complicated, they suddenly leave you alone, as the moral said "A true Friend is the one who always supports and stands by you in any situation", because that's what a friend does, gives you the motivation to move on and face all the problems that could appear doesn't matter how difficult it is they will always be next to you. If Vijay didn't knew that animals dont attack dead bodies he would've died due to the selfishness of Raju of thinking only of himself and leaving Vijay to his fate. That is why you need to have a friend to always count on.

    True friendship is when a friend is with you in the good and bad moments of your life.
    In this story he tells that Vijay leaves Raju alone just when he was in danger of his life, instead of helping him he left him alone.
    Don't be like vijay, when you have a friend in trouble always support him and don't leave him alone.

    I think this is a story that should be read by everyone because it gives us a very important teaching about choosing your friends. Not always the persons around us are our real friends because when you have a real friend, it will support you and help you in whatever you need, that person will be with you in your bad and happy moments and will never leave you alone. So, in this story we can see that Raju was a bad friend by leaving Vijay alone and not keeping his promise to remain united, because he let him run the risk of being attacked by the bear.

    Nice story and interesting as it shows you the true value of friendship.

    It is said that when someone really matters to us, it is not because of what they do, what they can give or what they have, but because of who they are, and why you will be able to see for their well-being without stopping to think about yourself.

    However, it is not easy to take care of something as fragile as friendship. There are many things that can get in the way as events that can come up. It may seem unfair, but this is the way life works to test what is really important. And nobody is capable of questioning it, because anyway you can't have control over things, like those actions or instincts that humans sometimes do without thinking.

    The most special test between two or more people who share a bond is to be there for and for the people you love. It doesn't matter that you are going to get into trouble or even if they do not thank you later, if they are going through a difficult time, you will be there and you will know how to be patient with them.

    This story has a lot of truth with life itself, it is very difficult to trust people
    until they are shown as real they are, we are human we tend to fail that is why we must always be prepared to be disappointed. Life is hard but also beautiful and we have to learn to balance those moments, so as not to get stressed, in my case I always try to have a contingency plan, a plan B because there is always the probability that things do not go as planned. in the end, the only thing left to do is laugh because you already knew it and were prepared to face it.

    I consider that this little story helps us reflect and later question who our true friends are, because usually people appear to offer you sincere friendship but when bad times happen they abandon you and do not help you, as in the case of the friends in the story because Raju only thought about him and did not think about what could happen to his friend, thus demonstrating his lack of loyalty and affection.

#002 THE MAN, HIS WIFE, THE DONKEY AND THE CRITICS

Image
Our society!!! An old man, his wife and a donkey were going to town. His wife rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along, they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and his wife was riding. The man and his wife thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, he makes his wife walk." So they then decided they'd both walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were fools to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.  Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The woman and her husband figured they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone, ...

#004 WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LIVE HERE?

Image
One afternoon, Socrates was standing outside the gates of Athens when he noticed a traveller who had been staring at him for a long time. Socrates asked the man why he had come to Athens. “I am thinking of moving to Athens”, the man said. “What is it like to live here?” He added. Socrates looked at him. “First, would you tell me what it was like in your home city?” The man replied: “Oh, it was awful. Everyone stabs you in the back and wants to steal money from you” Frowning, Socrates told him: “Well, you will find the same thing here. I suggest you go somewhere else” Socrates was standing there a few hours more when another man approached him. This man too had just arrived in Athens and was considering moving to the city. He also asked Socrates, “Can you tell me what it is like to live here?” Socrates asked, “First, would you tell me what it was like to live there where you come from?” “Where I come from, all the people work together and help each other”...

#043 THE WOODEN BOWL

Image
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.  But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.”  So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!  When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped ...
