Clever Aldar

Once Shah,the king, decided to have a new town built. He paid all workmen, one gold coin a day.


Aldar, a poor but intelligent fellow,  came to this place in search of a job. The king glanced at him and said, "your pay will be a gold coin a year."


Aldar agreed and went to mix the clay. 


In a year's time, every one in the kingdom got plenty of gold coins, where as Aldar earned only one coin.


He decided to leave the town. He met an old lady at the market.


The lady was holding a sack. Aldar went to that lady and asked "What's inside?"


She replied,"It's a cat, the terror for the mice."


"Can you sell me that cat for a gold coin?" asked Aldar.


The old lady sold the cat to Aldar.


He took the cat to the Shah's new town.


He started a business with the cat. The cat was very happy to live in that town.


There are many mouse nest's in the town. Every one asked Aldar to lend the cat  for one or two days to catch all the mice in their houses.


Aldar was paid by the house owners.


One day, Aldar was called by the monarch to the palace, along with his cat.


The Shah ordered Aldar to leave his cat for a week to catch all the mice in the palace. He is ready to pay ten gold coins for each mouse.


The cat caught 365 mice in a week fetching him 3650 gold coins.


Aldar is happy for he earned ten times more than each workman, who has built the town.

The Hare Who Was Really Smart

Once up on a time a sheep strayed from its flock, got lost in the field, and came upon a wolf. 

The Wolf was very hungry and was just about to kill and eat for dinner. But then decided, it would be wiser to do it in the forest.

The wolf drove the poor sheep in to the forest.


An hour passed, then another hour and soon they were very near the wolf's house.


The sheep thought that its time was up and was feeling fear, when suddenly popped a hare behind the bushes.


"Oh, dear hare, this horrible wolf is going to kill me", said the sheep.


"Sure am going to kill for the dinner sheep," barked the wolf. 


Hare said, "Sheep I cannot help you, even am scared of the wolf" and I am sorry about that.


Hare was thinking an idea to help the poor sheep.


After a while hare came running and said, "Wolf, Wolf, there were two hunters in the forest and were speaking to kill you."


Why do they plan to kill me? 


What will they get after killing me? asked the wolf.


Hare replied very cleverly that," An astrologer suggested them to kill a wolf in a day, so that the village will have heavy rains and good crops."


The village people appointed two hunters, to kill a wolf with in a day.

Why are they planning to kill me? 

What will they get by killing me? asked the wolf.

Hare replied the wolf that," An astrologer suggested them to kill a wolf in a day, so that the village will have heavy rains and good crops."

The village people appointed two hunters to kill a wolf.

Hearing to the hare's words wolf got scared, and left the sheep, ran in to the deep forest.

  The hare is having smart thoughts, so he saved the sheep's life.

The Brave Duckling

One morning the landlady cooked a bowlful of groats(a type of cereal) and brought it out to the ducklings. 


They were just about to start their food. 


Then suddenly a mysterious creature flew in. It was not a butterfly nor beetle.


It looked so big and a monster.


The creature flew and sat on the food bowl's brim.


 After a while it flew away but the frightened ducklings avoided the bowl for the rest of the day. 


As they thought that it might arrive again.


In the evening, the landlady came to take the bowl and found the food was not touched by the ducklings.


She thought that the ducklings were sick.


The very next day a duckling Alex (Landlady's neighbours duckling) came to visit his neighbours.


Then landlady came with another bowl full of groats.


Again there came the monster. 

Alex asked," Isn't a fly?"


The ducklings replied," It was yesterday's beastly giant" and ran away.


Alex is the only one not to have cold feet.


He attacked the monster and caught him by the wing with his mouth.


The insect could hardly tear himself away and escaped with a broken wing.


From then all the ducklings could eat their food undisturbed.


Brave duckling Alex was always welcome guest to their table.


It was he who saved them from the monstrous dragon fly!

A Golden Duck

In a village there were two brothers named Ramu and Somu.


Ramu was hard working, very good person and kind hearted.


Somu, a lazy fellow, he neither helped any one nor given a penny to poor.


Their parents married them and shared the property equally. Their property included farm, cows, sheep's and ducks. 


There are five ducks, among them one duck lays a golden egg every day. So, their parents told them,"both of you share the duck's egg alternatively."


The very next day Somu had a quarrel with his brother about the golden egg.


Being kind hearted Ramu said, "Somu you were the younger among us. So you take the first golden egg."


After few days, on an occasion Ramu and his family should go to a near y village.


While going Ramu gave the golden duck to Somu and said "Somu I will be back after three days. You take care of the cattle and duck too."


Somu thought that, he could become rich, by killing the duck and take all the golden eggs from its stomach.


With out concious and conscience he killed the duck. But he could't find even one egg in the duck's stomach.


When Ramu came home and asked Somu, "How are you?"


Somu started to cry loudly and told Ramu what had happened.


Ramu laughed and said politely "Better to drink the milk than to eat a cow."


From that day Somu changed and started to follow Ramu's principles.


That's the happy ending of the story.
