Midas and the Golden Touch

Midas was a greedy king who wished for everything to turn into gold. So, he was empowered by Greek God so that anything he touched became gold. He was so fascinated when every item in the house was converted into gold. But one day, when he touched his daughter too, she turned into gold. Then he felt guilty for his greed and prayed to God to take back the wish. So, God pitied him and told him to take a dip in the river, fill a jar with water, and sprinkle it everywhere. Then he was so overjoyed to see his own daughter in her real form. From this story, the kids can realize the outcome of greed. During the night, the kids can enjoy such magic stories.

The shepherd boy and the wolf

A young shepherd boy, when taking his sheep for grazing, simply shouted ‘wolf’. When the villagers gathered, he just laughed and labeled them fools. He continued fooling people more than two times. When the wolf really appeared one day and started preying upon his sheep, he once again shouted ‘wolf’ truly. But no one listened to his cry, as they were sure of his lying nature. Even when a liar speaks truthfully, no one believes him.

Ugly Duckling 

Mother Duck laid five small eggs and one big egg. From the small eggs, five beautiful yellow ducklings cracked out, and one gray duckling from the big egg. The pretty five ducklings always rejected the gray duckling as they perceived it as ugly. It wandered everywhere to find friends, but was accepted by none. Even animals such as pigs, sheep, cows, etc. rejected the bird as they found it ugly. One day, the bird was sitting in a barn on a snowy day, alone and sad. When spring came, it left the barn and went to the pond. It found a pretty white bird that greeted the bird. But the bird said that it was just an ugly duckling. The other bird uprightly said that it was a pretty swan and not a duckling. So, the bird happily flew away. It is a wonderful story that builds confidence.
