TRUE FRIENDS
Last Sunday, I along with my friends, decided to go to the riverside for a picnic. We planned to spend the whole day there, but as luck would have it, the day turned out to be catastrophic. My friend and I set out on a boating trip. We sailed the boat smoothly and talked merrily. Soon, we noticed we were very far from the bank of the river. We were in the middle where water seemed to be very deep and flow of the river was powerful. All of a sudden the sky grew dark. A strong wind started blowing hard. The water became rough. The boat tossed up and down in the rampant water.
Luckily, we saw a plank floating in the water. We both jumped and caught hold of the plank. But the plank was too small to bear the weight of two. We both know that one of us should leave it otherwise both of us will drown. Then my friend said to me, “You are a married man. You must live for your wife and children. I am single. So I must go.” I was shaken to hear that. I told him that he too had a mother and a sister to take care of. But he insisted on leaving the plank and told me to take care of his mother and sister. Saying this, he let go off the plank. He was drowned.
After the storm was over, I reached the bank of the river. Our other friends were very worried. They were waiting for use to come back. They all turned very sad to know about his drowning. After that we all went to his home and broke the sad news to his mother and sister. They were shocked. I brought both of them to my house. My family accepted them with great love and warmth.
Moral-True friends share joys as well as sorrows.

THE CAPSELLER AND THE MONKEYS
There was a jungle between two villages. Many monkeys lived in the jungle. One day, a capseller was passing through the jungle to go to another village. He was carrying a bundle of caps. On the way, he got tried. He put the bundle aside, lay down under a tree and fell asleep.
He woke up after some time. He got upset when he saw that his box was open and the monkeys had taken away all the caps. Just then he looked up, there were so many monkeys on the tree. Each one of them had a cap on his head. The capseller was angry.
He picked up a stone and threw it at the monkeys. The monkeys plucked fruits from the tree and threw them at the capseller. Then, the capseller understood the trick. He knew how to get back his caps from the monkeys. They had the habit of copying others. The capseller took off the cap from his head and threw it on the ground. The monkeys also copied him. They too threw their caps down. The capseller was happy to see this. He collected the caps from the ground, put them in the box and happily went to the other village to sell them. Moral- Presence of mind can find a way out of many difficulties.
