One day, all the animals of a forest gathered to choose their king. The monkey danced such gay abandon there that everyone felt delighted. So, his name was proposed for kingship. Everyone voted in his favour and he became the king..( Short moral stories for students)But the fox couldn’t tolerate the monkey rising to a high position. He felt envy of him and decided to humiliate him. One day, the fox was roaming around searching for food and saw a trap laid by some hunter. It had a piece of meat in it as bait.
The fox was intelligent enough to stay away from the trap. But he was sure that monkey wouldn’t. So, he approached the king and brought him to the trap. The fox then said, “Here is a dainty piece of meat, sir! As a true subject of yours, I didn’t touch it. So, enjoy it Your Honour!” The monkey extended his hand for the meat and got trapped. The fox then laughed and said, “Kingship needs a lot of wisdom, sir!”
HEAVY LOAD
Once a rich merchant was walking along the road with his servant. Out of the blue, a labourer carrying a heavy sack, passed by him. The merchant was hit by the sack and his hat fell in a nearby drain.The servant thought that the labourer would now get a good scolding, but to his amusement, the merchant instead of scolding the labourer asked the servant to help the labourer pick his sack.
When the labourer went ahead, the servant asked the merchant for such behaviour.
The merchant said, "It was my mistake, not his. He was already carrying a heavy load. I should have walked carefully." Hearing this, the servant praised his master.(moral stories)
The moral of the story is that a person should never blame others for his fault.
HABITS DIE VERY HARD
This is really surprising but it's a fact that all ants were human-beings to begin with. They lived by tilling soil and raising crops just as farmers do even today.Dissatisfied with what they used to get through their labour, these farmers always had their eyes on the crops of their neighbours. Not only this, they even used to steal their crops whenever they got a chance and adding on to their own store.
The gods got highly offended by these acts and went to their chief- Jupiter to complain against the thieving farmers. He got so angry that he converted these farmers into ants.
Though the form of these farmers got changed, their habit of stealing is the same till today. The ants go about the corn-fields and gather grains not belonging to them.
This shows that one's nature seldom changes..( Short moral stories for students)
GREED-A CURSE
Once upon a time there lived a cloth merchant in a village with his wife and two children. They were indeed quite well-off. They had a beautiful hen which laid an egg everyday. It was not an ordinary egg, rather, a golden egg. But the man was not satisfied with what he used to get daily. He was a get rich-trice kind of a person.The man wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen at one single go. So, one day he thought hard and at last clicked upon a plan. He decided to kill the hen and get all the eggs together.
So, the next day when the hen laid a golden egg, the man caught hold of it, took a sharp knife, chopped off its neck and cut its body open..( Short moral stories for students)
There was nothing but blood all around & no trace of any egg at all. He was highly grieved because now he would not get even one single egg.
His life was going on smoothly with one egg a day but now, he himself made his life miserable. The outcome of his greed was that he started becoming poorer & poorer day by day and ultimately became a pauper. How jinxed and how much foolish he was..( Short moral stories for students)
So, the moral of the story is- one who desires more, looses all. One should remain satisfied with what one gets.

It was hot summer. A lion went to a pool to drink water. Just then a pig also came there to quench his thirst. Both of them wanted to drink first.They looked at each other with blood-shot eyes and attacked each other with so much anger that soon they started bleeding.

"I am the sea and am as lovely as you see me now. You are blaming me for the wreck but it isn't just." Surprised, the sailor asked, "Who is just then?"

BETTER BENT THAN BROKEN
