    She was talking to herself and said, “Once I get the money, I’ll buy a chicken.

    The chicken
    will lay eggs and I will get more chickens. They’ll all lay eggs, and I will sell them for
    more money. Then, I’ll buy the house on the hill and everyone will envy me.” She was very
    happy that soon she would be very rich. With these happy thoughts, she marched ahead.
    But suddenly, she tripped and fell. Both the pails of the milk fell and all her dreams were
    shattered. The milk spilt onto the ground, and all Patty could do was cry. “No more
    dream,” she cried foolishly!

    Moral of the Story


    Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

    7. When Adversity Knocks


    This is a story that explains how adversity is met differently by different people. There
    was a girl named Asha who lived with her mother and father in a village. One day, her
    father assigned her a simple task. He took three vessels filled with boiling water. He
    placed an egg in one vessel, a potato in the second vessel, and some tea leaves in the
    third vessel. He asked Asha to keep an eye on the vessels for about ten to fifteen
    minutes while the three ingredients in three separate vessels boiled. After the said time,
    he asked Asha to peel the potato and egg, and strain the tea leaves. Asha was left
    puzzled – she understood her father was trying to explain her something, but she didn’t
    know what it was.
    Her father explained, “All three items were put in the same circumstances. See how
    they’ve responded differently.” He said that the potato turned soft, the egg turned hard,
    and the tea leaves changed the colour and taste of the water. He further said, “We are all
    like one of these items. When adversity calls, we respond exactly the way they do. Now,
    are you a potato, an egg, or tea leaves?”

    Moral of the Story


    We can choose how to respond to a difficult situation.

    8. The Proud Rose


    Once upon a time, there was a beautiful rose plant in a garden. One rose flower on the
    plant was proud of its beauty. However, it was disappointed that it was growing next to
    an ugly cactus. Every day, the rose would insult the cactus about its looks, but the
    cactus stayed quiet. All the other plants in the garden tried to stop the rose from bullying
    the cactus, but the rose was too swayed by its own beauty to listen to anyone.

    One summer, a well in the garden dried up and there was no water for the plants. The
    rose slowly began to wilt. The rose saw a sparrow dip its beak into the cactus for some
    water. The rose then felt ashamed for having made fun of the cactus all this time. But
    because it was in need of water, it went to ask the cactus if it could have some water.
    The kind cactus agreed, and they both got through summer as friends.

    Moral of the Story


    Never judge someone by the way they look.
