Story on pride has its fall
Answers
Answer: Raju was a famous sculptor. His sculptures looked real ones. One day he saw a dream that after fifteen days, the demon of Death would come to take him. Raju prepared nine statues of himself and when on the 15th day he heard the Demon of Death coming, he took his place between the statues. The Demon could not recognise him and was astonished to see ten Raju instead of one. He rushed back to the God of death and told the matter. The God of death got annoyed and set out to take Raju himself. Raju was alert and stood motionless. The God of Death initially got perplexed. But he thought for a moment. He said, “Raju, these sculptures would have been perfect but for one mistake." Raju was unable to suffer the least blemish in his work. He came out and asked, "Where is the fault?" God of Death caught him and said, “HERE". The statues were faultless but Raju was caught because of his pride.
MORAL : Pride has A Fall
Explanation:
Answer:
PRIDE HAS A FALL
It was high autumn. An olive tree and a fig tree stood near each other. The fig tree had lost all his leaves and became quite bare. Seeing his neighbour, the olive tree puffed up with pride.
The olive tree taunted the fig tree, “How unlucky you are! You lose your leaves every autumn to be bare. But I flourish all the year round.�
The fig tree argued, “Friend! It’s my destiny to be bare and yours to be evergreen. But there is nothing to feel small or proud about it. It is out of control of both of us.�
Few days later, there occurred a snow-fall. The snow settled on the leaves of the olive tree and gave way under its heavy weight. But as for the fig tree, the snow fell to the ground through its bare branches and it survived the snow-storm.
The End..
