surroundings, stories aid in the development of their imagination.

The story is a wonderful tale that both parents and children will enjoy. In this
article, we present a simple English version of the mitten story to encourage
children to read more literature.

The Mitten Story

Once upon a time, there lived many animals, all the animals lived happily with each
other. On a cold winter day, a mole discovered a mitten in the snow.

He thought to himself, “Huh? This is fantastic! Now I have a nice place to live."

Soon a frog passed by the mitten. A frog hopped over to the mole and asked, "Mole,
may I come in?" "My legs are numb!"

"Of course, come in. Together, the two of us will make the house warmer.” Said the
mole.

"Is anyone home?" yelled a rabbit as he passed by. "Yes”, the mole and the frog
answered.

"My ears are numb!" "Do you mind if I join you?" the rabbit inquired.

"Sure, your ears will warm up in no time with the three of us in here," the mole
remarked.

"Did you hear something?" Rabbit questioned his companions. Soon after, a massive
grizzly bear appeared.

"Is this a cave?" he asked loudly. He called out, "Is anybody there?"

" We are here" exclaimed the mole and his companions.

Because of the thick snow, the bear couldn't see anything. He, too, wished to
enter. However, he was far too large to fit.

"You're too large!" the rabbit exclaimed. "There isn't enough space for you!"
"Please!" shouted the bear. "It's freezing."

“Oh right. Please come in. "Let's hope six people can fit in here," the mole
suggested.

Animals in The Mitten

As the bear moved in, all the animals felt constrained.

"Stop pushing me!" shouted the fox.

The wolf yelled, "Move over then!"

The rabbit exclaimed, "Oh, my ear, my ear!"

Frog yelled, "Can you wiggle your tail?"

"My tail has frozen from the cold," a baby mouse said as the animals shifted
around. "Could you possibly let me in as well?" The mitten, on the other hand, had
already stretched much too far.

Soon the little mouse entered the mitten and rested on the nose of the bear. The
wagging tail of the mouse was tickling the bear. The bear tried very hard to resist
the sneeze.

But at last, when the bear could not resist anymore he sneezed. The mitten sailed
high into the sky as Bear let out a massive sneeze.

All the animals went up in the sky. As they were falling down Santa came and
rescued them. They were then told it was Santa’s mitten.

Santa's mitten had gotten lost when he was presenting gifts to the nice kids.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!" exclaimed Santa as he looked around. "We wish you a very Merry
Christmas!" Santa then offered every one of them a warm place to stay.

Moral of The Mitten Story

Short stories like the mitten story are a great way to teach important life lessons
to kids while having fun. The mitten story mentioned in the article teaches us the
important lesson of kindness and friendship. The mole and other animals were kind
to each other and allowed each other to stay in the mitten in the freezing cold
winters. And it was because they were kind to each other Santa wished them a happy
Christmas and offered them a warm place to stay.

A Glass of Milk Story

In a small town, there lived a poor boy who grew up selling newspapers house to
house. He used to make enough money to finance his educational expenses.

He was travelling from home to home, like every day, delivering newspapers even
when he felt sick and hungry. He felt he couldn't continue much longer. He was so
famished that he proceeded to go to one of the houses and ask for food.

When he knocked at the door, he was surprised to see a lovely young lady answer it.
He asked the girl for a drink of water after much deliberation. The young lady saw
the boy's predicament and offered him a jug of milk.

The boy gulped the milk and thanked the kind-hearted girl with a surprised
expression.

"What do I pay you for this milk?" the boy inquired.

"I'm not looking for any compensation for all of this," the girl said softly. The
kid greeted the girl again and again from the bottom of his heart and walked away.

Boy with a Glass of Milk

Several years had gone by. The young girl was a grown woman. Tragically, the young
woman was identified with a very rare form of neurological disorder. She was
hospitalised at the best hospital as her health became more critical by the day.

Kevin, a well-known doctor, was available in that hospital. The physicians at the
hospital had asked him in specifically to check her. Despite his exceptional
expertise, Dr Kevin found the girl's ailment to be extremely difficult to cure.

He was, nevertheless, able to treat her sickness after much perseverance and hard
work. The girl was finally cured of the condition after diligent therapy and
observation.

All of the doctors complimented him on his dedication. The girl, on the other hand,
was concerned about the hospital bill cost.

Her family had just a small sum of money in the bank, which was insufficient to
cover the cost of therapy and treatment. Once the girl eventually received the
hospital bill, she was taken aback. She accepted the bill with trembling hands.

She was shocked to discover that the bill had been struck out and cancelled and
that behind the bill was a message written by Dr Kevin. The letter read, "Bill paid
years ago with a glass of milk!"

Moral of “A Glass Of Milk Story”

The story teaches us the importance of good deeds. The story is a perfect example
that one good deed leads to another. It was because the young girl from years ago
helped a little boy that she received kindness when she needed it the most. The

felt gratitude towards the girl he remembered her all through the years and worked
hard to become a diligent doctor.

to others and be grateful to the ones who showed us compassion. Short stories like

Do you like following others and becoming like them? Well, sometimes when we are
not confident in ourselves and don’t accept the way we are, we try to impersonate
and disrespect ourselves, which is the reason we start humiliating those who are
like us (in the past)? Do you really think it is right to follow someone blindly,
be it acquiring a wrong habit? Well, it all depends on your perspective.

Let us go through the story of a crow and a peacock to get an answer on what we
should do to accept ourselves. This story starts with two creatures, crow and a
peacock, where crow doesn’t like its appearance and wants to be a peacock and it
faces a lot many issues along its new journey.

Stay on this page to get an insight into the crow and peacock story in English.

The Story of a Crow and a Peacock in English

There was once a crow that despised her feathers. She had always adored the
peacock's brilliant feathers and wished to be one of them.

"You all have such a drab and uninteresting appearance. Look at how lovely the
peacocks are.” She would tell her fellow crows, "I wish I were a peacock."

The crow noticed a lot of peacock feathers on the ground one day. “An idea came to
me when I saw those peacock feathers.” She gathered them and inserted them into her
wings, tail, and a few inches above her head to resemble a peacock.

She thought to herself, "Now I'm as beautiful as a peacock." So she went to join
the peacocks, only to be humiliated and kicked out. The peacocks were well aware
that she wasn't one of them.

The Crow wanted to be a Peacock

The peacock and the crow are two birds that live together.

They told her that wearing peacock feathers would not turn her into a peacock.

She returned to her crow mates, sad and ashamed. However, after all of her insults,
none of her other crows wanted to be around her. To add insult to injury, they
teased her for having peacock feathers sticking out of her wings and tail.

Then a wise old crow appeared and told him, "We should accept ourselves as we are."
Don't attempt to be a carbon duplicate of others. I hope you've grasped the
significance of your lesson."

The crow recognised her error and felt bad about it. She tore the peacock feathers
from her feathers and accepted herself as a crow once more. She then went up to her
fellow crows and apologised for offending them. They reconnected as pals. The crow
finally found happiness.

From the crow and peacock story in English, we conclude that we must accept
ourselves the way we are; otherwise, we will lose everyone and stay alone forever.
