Question

Can you tell me a story told by your grandmother

Answer 1

      Once a sculptor challenged Akbar that he would show three idols to him, which would look exactly like each other to his courtiers and they would have to rate them good, ok and bad. Akbar agreed.

All the courtiers tried to rate them but failed, because they were so alike that they did not know how to rate them. Now it was Birbal's turn. He noticed a small hole in the ears of the idols. Birbal got curious, so he took three wires and inserted them in those holes.

In the case of the first idol the wire came out from the other ear. In the second case idol, it came out of the mouth; but in the case of the third idol, it remained inside. He got the answer and he rated the third idol as good, first idol ok and the second idol bad.

The sculptor could not understand what was the basis of rating the idols. He asked Birbal that how was he so sure? Birbal said - ''The third idol (from whose ear the wire remained inside) did not tell others what somebody else had told it, that is why it was good. The first idol was OK (from whose ear the wire came out from the other ear) because it did not remember or tell others what somebody had told it. But the third idol (from whose ear the wire came out from the mouth) remembered everything and gave out the secret what was told to it to others.'

The sculptor was speechless and Akbar was very happy. He gave lots of reward to Birbal.

Answer 2

ya, my grandmother told me a story when I was too small in her lap I used to put my head and listen her moral stories....
it was about a story of a fast rabbit and a slow tortoise......


STORY.......


once upon a time, There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the Tortoise challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

The Hare ran down the road for a while and then paused to rest. He looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

Tortoise walked and walked, never ever stopping until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise that they woke up the Hare. The Hare stretched, yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise had already crossed the finish line.....


After being defeated by the tortoise, the hare did some soul-searching. He knew that though he had tried hard in the beginning, he was not consistent, and had grown overconfident. He was determined to undo his mistakes, and invited tortoise for another race. This time, the rabbit was careful to run the whole distance, and of course, emerged the winner.


MORAL......Slow and steady wins the race.
