One day a wood cutter's axe
accidentally fell into a river. The poor wood cutter made a good search in the
water.
But his efforts were in vain. Finally he burst into tears. Hearing his sobs, an Angel appeared before him.
The Angel dived into the river and came up carrying a golden axe. The wood cutter did not accept it. He stated that his axe was made of iron.
The Angel disappeared and soon returned with a silver axe. The wood cutter again denied that it was his axe.
The Angel once again plunged into the river. It soon reappeared carrying the axe of the wood cutter. The poor man greeted the angel with words of profuse thanks and great joy.
The Angel was impressed by the man's honesty.
She presented him with the golden and silver axes in recognition of his truthful nature.

The lion king was busy
appointing various animals at different posts. The
cheetah had been made the army commander because
he was quick to think and the fastest runner. The
wise elephant had been made the prime minister. Time passed by and other animals also got their posts. In the
end only the rabbit, the tortoise and the donkey were left.
At this, the animals started laughing. The zebra said, "The rabbit gets scared easily and the tortoise takes hours to move an inch. The donkey is a fool. They cannot get any post in the royal court."
But the lion king said, "No friends! Please don't tease them. All animals have different and unique qualities. The rabbit will be our messenger because he runs fast. The tortoise can hide and spy on the border posts. The loud voice of the donkey can be used as a bugle call. We must learn to respect everyone. "
Thus all the animals of the forest learnt a new lesson that day.
