The Carpenter
A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.Moral stories in English for class 6The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this will be his last project. Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the job was done, the carpenter called his employer and showed him the house. The employer handed over some papers and the front door key to the carpenter and said 'This is your house, my gift to you.'
The carpenter was in a shock! What a shame! If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have made it better than any other house that he ever built!
Our situation can be compared to this carpenter. God has sent us to this world to build our homes in paradise by obeying His commands. Now, we have to decide how well we wish to build the homes where we will live forever.(Moral stories for class 6)
God Answered...
A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter.When returning to her car she found she had locked her keys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter, she didn't know what to do, so she called her home and told the baby sitter what had happened and she did not know what to do.
The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse. She said, 'You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door.'
The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car.
Then she looked at the hanger and said, 'I don't know how to use this.' So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help. Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, 'Great God. This is what you sent to help me????'
But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful. The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She said 'Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car, I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car.'
He said, 'SURE.' He walked over to the car, and in less than one minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said,'THANK YOU SO MUCH..... You are a very nice man.'
The man replied, 'Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour.'(Moral stories in English for class 6)
The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud..... 'THANK YOU GOD FOR SENDING ME A PROFESSIONAL!'
'Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.' - Mother Teresa
Wet Pants
Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives. The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat.'He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered. As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy' s lap. The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!'(Moral stories in English for class 6)
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie. She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you Clumsy girl!'
Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too.'
May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good.. Remember.....Just going to a place of worship doesn't make you a good person any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
We make a Living by what we get; we make a Life by what we give.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
Bring Potato Chips
A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived. So he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and asix-pack of Soft Drink and started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old
man. He was sitting in the
park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his
suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his Bottle when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him some chips. He gratefully accepted it and
smiled at him.
His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a
soft drink. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all
afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word...
As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave;
But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his
biggest smile ever...(Moral stories in English for class 6)
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was Surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, 'What did you do
today that made you so happy?'
He replied, 'I had lunch with God.' But before his mother could respond, he added,
'You know what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!'
Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was Stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, 'dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?'
He replied 'I ate potato chips in the park with
God.' However, before his son responded, he added, 'You know, he's much younger than I expected.'(Moral stories in English for class 6)
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime!
Embrace all equally!
Have lunch withGod...bring chips.
Faith
A business man was late for his flight. He reached the boarding gate just before it closed. Sweating and out of breath, he scanned his boarding pass at the counter and quickly made his way to the plane.Arriving at his seat, he greeted his companions for the next few hours: a middle-aged woman sitting at the window, and a little girl sitting on the aisle seat. After stowing his bag above, he took his place between them.
After the flight took off, he began a conversation with the little girl. She appeared to be about the same age as his daughter and was busy with her coloring book. He asked her a few usual questions, such as her age (eight), her hobbies (cartoons and drawing), as well as her favorite animal (horses are pretty, but she just loved cats). He found it strange that such a young girl would be traveling alone, but he kept his thoughts to himself and decided to keep an eye on her to make sure she was okay.
About an hour into the flight, the plane suddenly began experiencing extreme turbulence. The pilot came over the PA system and told everyone to fasten their seat belts and remain calm, as they had encountered rough weather.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
Several times over the next half hour the plane made drastic dips and turns, shaking all the while. Some people began crying, and many like the woman in the window seat were praying intently. The man was sweating and clenching his seat as tightly as he could, and exclaim Oh my God! with each increasingly violent shake of the plane.
Meanwhile, the little girl was sitting quietly beside him in her seat. Her coloring book and crayons were put away neatly in the seat pocket in front of her, and her hands were calmly resting on her legs. Incredibly, she didn't seem worried all.
Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the turbulence ended. The pilot came on a few minutes later to apologize for the bumpy ride and to announce that they would be landing soon. As the plane began its descent, the man said to the little girl, You are just a little girl, but I have never met a braver person in all my life! Tell me, dear, how is it that you remained so calm while all of us adults were so afraid?
Looking him in the eyes, she said, 'My father is the pilot, and he's taking me home.'
<b>Moral of story:</b>
If we recognise the power of faith.....we won't look for miracles.
May this beautiful story inspire us and brighten our path.
Elephant and Friends
One day an elephant wandered into a forest in search of friends.He saw a monkey on a tree.
'Will you be my friend?' asked the elephant.
Replied the monkey, 'You are too big. You can not swing from trees like me.'
Next, the elephant met a rabbit. He asked him to be his friends.
But the rabbit said, 'You are too big to play in my burrow!' (Moral stories in English for class 6)
Then the elephant met a frog.
'Will you be my friend? He asked.
'How can I?' asked the frog.
'You are too big to leap about like me.'
The elephant was upset. He met a fox next.
'Will you be my friend?' he asked the fox.
The fox said, 'Sorry, sir, you are too big.'
The next day, the elephant saw all the animals in the forest running for their lives.
The elephant asked them what the matter was. (Moral stories in English for class 6)
The bear replied, 'There is a tier in the forest. He trying to gobble us all up!'
The animals all ran away to hide.
The elephant wondered what he could do to solve everyone in the forest.
Meanwhile, the tiger kept eating up whoever he could find.
The elephant walked up to the tiger and said, 'Please, Mr. Tiger, do not eat up these poor animals.' (Moral stories in English for class 6)
'Mind your own business!' growled the tiger.
The elephant has a no choice but to give the tiger a hefty kick.
The frightened tiger ran for his life.
The elephant ambled back into the forest to announce the good news to everyone.
All the animals thanked the elephant.
They said, 'You are just the right size to be our friend.'
<b>Moral : <b> Pride has a fall.
You can not please everyone
A man and his son were once going with their Donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman passed them and said : 'You fool, what a Donkey for but to ride is upon?' (Moral stories in English for class 6)So the Man put the Boy on the Donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men. One of whom said : 'See that lazy youngster. He lets his father walk while he rides.'
So the Man ordered his Boy to get off and got on himself. But they hadn't gone far when they passed two women. One of whom said to the other : 'Shame on that lazy lout to let his poor little son trudge along.'
Well the Man did not know what to do. But at last he took his Boy up before him on the Donkey. By this time they had come to the town and the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The Man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said :
'Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor Donkey of yours - you and your hulking son?'
The man and Boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the Donkey's feet to it and raised the pole and the Donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge when the Donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the Boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the Donkey fell over the bridge and his fore-feet being tied together, he was drowned.
'That will teach you,' said an old man who had followed them :
<b>Moral : </b> You Can Not Please Everyone.
Good you do... Evil you do..
A woman baked chapatti (roti) for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby.(Moral stories in English for class 6)She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti.
Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way:
'#The_Evil_yoU_Do_Remains_with_yoU :<br / The_Good_yoU_Do_Comes_Back_to_yoU ! '
This went on, day after day.
Every day, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and uttered the words:
'The evil you do, remains with you:
The good you do, comes back to you!'
The woman felt irritated.(Moral stories for class 6)
'Not a word of gratitude,'
she said to herself
'Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?'
One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him.
'I shall get rid of this hunchback,'
she said.
And what did she do?
She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!
As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. 'What is this I am doing?' she said.
Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window sill.
As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words:
'The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!'
The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman. Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.
For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return.
That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak.
As he saw his mother, he said, 'Mom, it's a miracle I'm here. While I was but a mile away,
I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by.
I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti.
As he gave it to me, he said,
'This is what I eat everyday : today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!'
'As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale.
She leaned against the door for support.
She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning.
Had she not burnt it in the fire,
it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life!
It was then that she realized the significance of the words:
'The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!'
Moral :
Do good and Don't ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.
If you like this, share it with others and I bet so many lives would be touched .
Burial of the car
One of the richest and most powerful men in Brazil, made waves when he announced plans to bury his million-dollar Bentley, so he could drive around his afterlife in style. He received lots of media attention, mostly negative and was severely criticized for the extravagant gesture and wasting of a precious commodity. Why wouldn't he donate the car to charity? How out of touch with reality is this guy? He still went ahead with the ceremony.But, there a twist. (Of course there is. Why else would I be covering this story?)
Moments before lowering the car in the ground prepared for the burial of his Bentley,he declared that he wouldn't bury his car and then revealed his genuine motive for the drama: Just to create awareness for organ donation.
People condemn me because I wanted to bury a million dollar Bentley, in fact most people bury something a lot more valuable than my car, he said during a speech at the ceremony. They bury hearts, livers, lungs, eyes, kidneys. This is absurd. So many people waiting for a transplant and you bury your healthy organs that could save so many lives!
Think about it n if u agree share among your friends n relatives.
The Eight Monkeys
(This is reportedly based on an actual experiment conducted in the U.K.)Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.
Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable. Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.
One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder.
All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why.
However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him.
This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he attacking the new monkey.
One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why.(Moral stories for class 6)
And that is how traditions, religions and systems get established and followed.
The year that was not
A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing :**Last year, I had a surgery and my gall bladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time.
**The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company.
**The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.
**And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several days. The destruction of car was another loss.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
At the end he wrote: Alas! It was such bad year !!
When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad & lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and placed it on side of her husband's writing.
When the writer saw this paper, he found his name written on it with following lines :
**Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain....
**I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to write something better with more focus and peace.....
**The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any critical condition met his Creator.....
**The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without getting any disability......
At the end she wrote:(Moral stories in English for class 6)
This year was an immense blessing of God and it passed well !!!
The writer was indeed happy and amazed at such beautiful and encouraging interpretation of the happenings in his life in that year !!!
<b>Moral:</b> In daily lives we must see that its not happiness that makes us grateful but grate-fulness that makes us happy.
New hare and tortoise story
Once Upon A Time A Tortoise And A Hare Had An Argument About Who Was Faster.They Decided To Settle The Argument With A Race. They Agreed On A Route And Started Off The Race. The Hare Shot Ahead And Ran Briskly For Some Time. Then Seeing That He Was Far Ahead
Of The Tortoise, He Thought He'd Sit Under A Tree For Some Time And Relax Before Continuing The Race. He Sat Under The Tree And Soon Fell Asleep. The Tortoise Plodding On Overtook Him And
Soon Finished The Race, Emerging As The Undisputed Champ. The Hare Woke Up And Realised That He'd Lost The Race.
The Moral Of The Story Is That Slow And Steady Wins The Race. This Is The Version Of The Story That We've All Grown Up With.
But Then Recently, Someone Told Me A More Interesting Version Of This Story.
It Continues :(Moral stories in English for class 6)
The Hare Was Disappointed At Losing The Race And He Did Some Soul-Searching. He Realised That He'd Lost The Race Only Because He Had Been Overconfident, Careless And Lax. If He Had Not Taken Things For Granted, There's No Way The Tortoise Could Have Beaten Him. So He Challenged The Tortoise To Another Race. The Tortoise Agreed. This Time, The Hare Went All Out And Ran Without Stopping From Start To Finish. He Won By Several Miles.
The Moral Of The Story?
Fast And Consistent Will Always Beat The Slow And Steady. If You Have Two People In Your Organisation, One Slow, Methodical And Reliable, And The Other Fast And Still Reliable At What He Does, The Fast And Reliable Chap Will Consistently Climb The Organisational Ladder Faster Than The Slow, Methodical Chap. It's Good To Be Slow And Steady; But It's Better To Be Fast And Reliable.
But The Story Doesn't End Here. The Tortoise Did Some Thinking This Time, And Realised That There's No Way He Can Beat The Hare In A Race The Way It Was Currently Formatted. He Thought For A While, And Then Challenged The Hare To Another Race, But On A Slightly Different Route. The Hare Agreed.
They Started Off. In Keeping With His Self-Made Commitment To Be Consistently Fast, The Hare Took Off And Ran At Top Speed Until He Came To A Broad River. The Finishing Line Was A Couple Of
Kilometres On The Other Side Of The River. The Hare Sat There Wondering What To Do. In The Meantime The Tortoise Trundled Along, Got Into The River, Swam To The Opposite Bank, Continued Walking And Finished The Race.
The Moral Of The Story?
First Identify Your Core Competency And Then Change The Playing Field To Suit Your Core Competency. In An Organisation, If You Are A Good Speaker,Make Sure You Create Opportunities To Give
Presentations That Enable The Senior Management To Notice You.
If Your Strength Is Analysis, Make Sure You Do Some Sort Of Research, Make A Report And Send It Upstairs. Working To Your Strengths Will Not Only Get You Noticed, But Will Also Create Opportunities For Growth And Advancement.
The Story Still Hasn't Ended. The Hare And The Tortoise, By This Time, Had Become Pretty Good Friends And They Did Some Thinking Together. Both Realised That The Last Race Could Have Been Run
Much Better.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
So They Decided To Do The Last Race Again, But To Run As A Team This Time. They Started Off, And This Time The Hare Carried The Tortoise Till The Riverbank.There, The Tortoise Took Over And Swam
Across With The Hare On His Back. On The Opposite Bank, The Hare Again Carried The Tortoise And They Reached The Finishing Line Together. They Both Felt A Greater Sense Of Satisfaction Than They'd Felt Earlier.
The Moral Of The Story?
It's Good To Be Individually Brilliant And To Have Strong Core Competencies; But Unless You're Able To Work In A Team And Harness Each Other's Core Competencies, You'll Always Perform Below Par Because There Will Always Be Situations At Which You'll Do Poorly And Someone Else Does Well. Teamwork Is Mainly About Situational Leadership, Letting The Person With The Relevant Core
Competency For A Situation Take Leadership.
There Are More Lessons To Be Learnt From This Story. Note That Neither The Hare Nor The Tortoise Gave Up After Failures. The Hare Decided To Work Harder And Put In More Effort After His Failure. The Tortoise Changed His Strategy Because He Was Already Working As Hard As He Could. In Life, When Faced With Failure, Sometimes It Is Appropriate To Work Harder And Put In More Effort. Sometimes It Is Appropriate To Change Strategy And Try Something Different. And Sometimes It Is Appropriate To Do Both.
The Hare And The Tortoise Also Learnt Another Vital Lesson. When We Stop Competing Against A Rival And Instead Start Competing Against The Situation, We Perform Far Better.
Be kind, Be compassionate..
There was once a young boy who often was angry.His father decided to give him a bag of nails one afternoon saying: son, when you get angry take one of these nails and simply nail it into the fence in our backyard. You will feel better by releasing your frustration.
After the first day, the young boy had nailed 25 nails into the fence.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
But as the weeks went by, the young boy grew more aware of his anger and put fewer and fewer nails into the fence.
Although he never denied the anger that was there, in time, he found it easier to silently experience his anger and then release it rather than angrily nail the nails into the fence.
Finally, the day came when the young boy stopped losing his temper completely. On that day, his father said to him: son, now go to that fence and pull out a nail for each day that you could manage your anger and hold it in a responsible way.
A day later, the boy went to his father and told him that each nail had been removed from the fence.
The father replied: I am proud of you son. I would like you to look at the holes that you have made in the fence.'
'When things are said in anger, irritation or frustration, you can put a hole into someone just like you have put a hole into that fence.'
'Although you may retract your words and apologize, the scar can remain for a long, long time. So be kind. Be compassionate.
Importance of Having Friends
Once upon a time, a lonely hawk lived on a tree by the riverside. He was young and handsome but he had no friends.(Moral stories in English for class 6)One day, he saw a beautiful she-hawk sitting on a tree and wanted to marry her but the she-hawk refused to marry him, as he had no friends.
'Will you marry me if I make three friends?' he asked. She said that she definitely would.
The hawk then went looking for friends. While flying on the other bank of the river, he saw a huge tortoise. The hawk flew down to him and said, 'Dear tortoise, will you be my friend and help me in my hour of need?' The tortoise agreed to become his friend and said, 'Call me whenever you need me and I shall come to your side.'(Moral stories in English for class 6)
The hawk also promised him his help at any time and then flew in search of the second friend. Soon, he came upon an osprey. The hawk went to it and asked her if she would be his friend and help him in time of his need. The osprey very gladly accepted his friendship and offered her help whenever he needed it.
The hawk was glad that he had made two friends.
He went on searching for a third friend. He flew over the jungle and saw a tiger. Fearless as he was, he went near the tiger and requested him to be his friend. The tiger readily accepted his friendship and said, 'From now onwards, I am your friend. Nobody will harm you. If anyone tries to harm you, call me and I will be there to help you.'(Moral stories in English for class 6)
The hawk was very happy. He thanked the tiger, flew back to the she-hawk and said, 'I have made three friends, a tortoise, an osprey and a tiger. Will you marry me now?'
The she-hawk agreed to marry him. Soon, their marriage took place. The three friends attended the hawk marriage.
After some-months, she-hawk gave birth to two baby hawks. The parent hawks were very happy to have cute little babies. They lived happily in their nest.
One day, two hunters came and sat under that tree. They were tired and hungry. They had not been able to hunt any animal. They decided to catch some fish. But, they couldn't catch even a single fish.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
It was getting dark and the hunters decided to spend the night under that tree. To keep themselves warm, they lit a fire. The fire soared high. The hawk-babies on the tree could not bear the heat and the smoke coming out of the fire. They started crying. The Hunters heard their cries. One of them said, 'There are birds on this tree. Let us catch them. We shall roast them on the fire and eat them.' The other one agreed.
The hawks heard them and were really worried about the safety of their babies. The she-hawk suggested that they seek help from their friends. The hawk went to the osprey and told her his problem. The osprey said, 'Go home and protect your babies. I shall tackle with the hunters.'(Moral stories in English for class 6)
The osprey dived into the river and then flew over the fire. The water from her wet feathers fell on the fire. She repeatedly dived into the river and flew over the fire. The water from her feathers put off the fire.
The hunters decided to light the fire again; however, as soon as they lit the fire, again the osprey put it off.
In the meantime, the hawk went to get help from the tortoise. When the tortoise heard about the hawk problem, he said to him, 'Do not worry dear friend, I will be there in no time and tackle the hunters in my own way. Go and protect your family.'
The hawk flew to the tree and the tortoise reached the tree. He went quite close to where the hunters were sitting and trying to light the fire again. The hunters saw the tortoise and one of them said, 'Look there is a huge tortoise. Let forget about the hawks and catch this tortoise.'(Moral stories in English for class 6)
The other hunter agreed and said, 'Let tear our shirts and make a rope. We shall tie its one end to the tortoise and other to our waists. Then we will pull the tortoise with all our strength.' The other hunter liked the idea. Soon, they make a rope out of their shirts. They tied one end of the rope to the tortoise legs. Then, trying the other end to their waist, they could not pull the tortoise. The tortoise strength was much greater than the two hunters were together.
The tortoise pulled the two men into the water. Once, inside the water, it was very easy for the tortoise to drag them. With great efforts, they cut the rope that was tied to their waist and swam back to the bank. They were now feeling very cold. They had lost their shirts. They thought of making a fire again.
Seeing them collecting leaves and twigs, the hawk was worried again. He flew to the forest and called his third friend, the tiger. He found the tiger at the edge of the forest. When the tiger heard the hawk problem, he immediately rushed towards the riverbank.
The hunter had now lighted the fire and one of them was preparing to climb the tree to get the hawk babies. Just then, the tiger reached the tree. Seeing the tiger, the hunters ran from there and never came back again.
The hawk thanked all his three friends for their kind and timely help. He also realized that it is very important to have at least a few friends. The female-hawk was very wise in advising the hawk to make friends before marrying him.
Real cost
A 6 yr old boy was in the market with his 4 yr old sister.(Moral stories in English for class 6)Suddenly the boy found that his sister was lagging behind.
He stopped and looked back.
His sister was standing in front of a toy shop and was watching something with great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked,
'Do you want something?'
The sister pointed at a doll.
The boy held her hand and
like a responsible elder brother,
gave that doll to her.
The sister was very very happy.
The shopkeeper watched this and was amused to see the mature behaviour of the boy.
Then the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper,(Moral stories in English for class 6)
'What is the cost of this doll, Sir!'
The shopkeeper was a cool man
and had experienced the odds of life.
So he asked the boy with a lot of love and affection,
' Well, What can you pay?'
The boy took out all the shells
that he had collected from the sea shore,
from his pocket and gave them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the shells
and started counting as if he were counting currency.

'Is it less?'
The shopkeeper said,
'No,No..
These are more than the cost.
So I will return the remaining.'

he kept only 4 shells with him and returned the remaining.(Moral stories in English for class 6)

'Sir..! You gave away such a costly doll just for 4 shells..???'
The shopkeeper said with a smile,
'Well, For us these are mere shells.

these shells are very precious.

but when he will grow up,
he definitely will.

he will remember Me and think that the world is full of Good people.
He will develop positive thinking...Thats it...'

Welcome cup Tea..
A group of 15 solders led by a Major were on their way to the post in Himalayans where they would be deployed for the next 3 months. The batch who would be relieved waiting anxiously.It was cold winter & intermittent snowfall made the treacherous climb more difficult.
If someone could offer a cup of tea. . the major thought, knowing it was a futile wish..
They continued for an hour before they came across a dilapidated structure, which looked like a tea shop but locked. It was late in the night.
'No tea boys, bad luck', said the major. But he suggested all take some rest there as they have been walking for 3 hours.
'Sir, this is a tea shop and we can make tea... We will have to break the lock', suggested one solder.(Moral stories in English for class 6)
They were in luck, the place had everything needed to make tea and also packets of biscuits.
The solders had tea & biscuits and were ready for the remaining journey.
The major thought, they had broken open lock and had tea & biscuits without the permission of the owner. But they're not a band of thieves but disciplined soldiers.
He took out a Rs 1000/- note from his wallet, placed it on the counter, pressed under sugar container, so that the owner can see.
The officer was now relieved of his guilt. He ordered to put the shutter down and proceed.
Three months passed, they continued to do gallantly in their works and were lucky not to loose anyone from the group in the intense insurgency situation.
It was time for another team to replace them.
Soon they were on their way back and stopped at the same tea shop which was open and owner was present in the shop.
The owner an old man will meager resources was very happy to greet 15 customers.
All of them had tea and biscuits. They talked to the old man about his life and experience specially selling tea at such a remote place.
The old man had many stories to tell, replete with his faith in God.
'Oh, Baba, if God is there, why should He keep you in such poverty?', commented one of them.
'Do not say like that Sahib! God actually is there, I got a proof 3 months ago.'
'I was going through very tough times because my only son had been severely beaten by terrorist who wanted some information from him which he did not have. I had closed my shop to take my son to hospital. Some medicines were to be purchased and I had no money. No one would give
me loan for fear of the terrorists. There was no hope, Sahib'.Moral stories in English for class 6
'And that day Sahib, I prayed to God for help. And Sahib, God walked into my shop that day.'
'When I returned to my shop, I found lock broken, I felt I was finished, I lost whatever little I had. But then I saw that God had left Rs 1000/ under the sugar pot. I can't tell you Sahib what that money was worth that day. God exists Sahib. He does.'
The faith in his eyes were unflinching.
Fifteen pairs of eyes met the eyes of the officer and read the order in his eyes clear and unambiguous, 'Keep quiet'.
The officer got up and paid the bill. He hugged the old man and said, 'Yes Baba, I know God does exist. And yes, the tea was wonderful.'
The the 15 pairs of eyes did not miss to notice the moisture building up in the eyes of their officer, a rare sight.Moral stories in English for class 6
The truth is u can be God to anyone.
Donkey of A Farmer
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.Moral stories in English for class 6
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.Moral stories in English for class 6
