Moral story in English for Inter Part-1 (For Average & Weak Students)
6. THE THIRSTY CROW
Storytelling is as old as man. It has been one of the greatest sources of preaching moral values because every story is written with some moral purpose. All the prophets, saints, religious scholars, and teachers have adopted it as a source of preaching any kind of morality. If one follows the lesson preached in the story, one can avoid many perils and problems. The story “A Thirsty Crow” also gives us a sublime moral lesson.
Once, a crow was thirsty. He flew here and there in search of water, but could not find water anywhere. At last, he reached a garden. He saw a pitcher there and became happy. But when he tried to drink water, he could not because the water in the pitcher was very low. It did not discourage him. Some pebbles were lying near the pitcher. It gave him an idea. He picked some pebbles and threw them into the pitcher one by one. The water began to rise slowly. He picked more pebbles and threw them into the pitcher one by one. The water rose to the brink of the pitcher. He drank the water to his fill and flew away. He was happy with his struggle. We learn from the story: “Necessity is the mother of invention.”
Moral:
2. God helps those who help themselves.
3. Necessity is the mother of invention.
