Question

I need a short moral story for about 50-60 words

Answer 1

4. The Golden Touch

This is the story of a very greedy rich man who chanced upon meeting a fairy. The fairy’s hair was caught in a few tree branches. Realising he had an opportunity to make even more money, he asked for a wish in return for helping the fairy. He said, ’All that I touch should turn to gold’, and his wish was granted by the grateful fairy.

The greedy man rushed home to tell his wife and daughter about his new boon, all the while touching stones and pebbles and converting them into gold. Once he got home, his daughter rushed to greet him. As soon as he bent down to scoop her up in his arms, she turned into a gold statue. He realized his folly and spent the rest of his days searching for the fairy to take away his wish.

Moral of The Story

Greediness will always lead to a downfall.

Let us enjoy reading this story of A Wise Counting.



Emperor Akbar was in the habit of putting riddles and puzzles to his courtiers. He often asked questions which were strange and witty.


Akbar said, "How many crows are there in this city?"



Without even a moment's thought, Birbal replied "There are fifty thousand five hundred and eighty nine crows, my lord".



"How can you be so sure?" asked Akbar.



Birbal said, "Make you men count, My lord. If you find more crows it means some have come to visit their relatives here. If you find less number of crows it means some have gone to visit their relatives elsewhere".



Akbar was pleased very much by Birbal's wit.



MORAL : A witty answer will serve its purpose.
