Good afternoon to teachers and all my friends, today my story title is “The honour wood
cutter”.
Once upon a time there was a poor woodcutter. He was very poor but he was always
honest. One hot day, he took his axe and went inside the nearby forest in search of
wood. After searching for a long time, he found one good tree near a river inside the
forest.
“ Hemm.. this tree is good. I can get lots of firewood”
So, the woodcutter started to work.
„Swish, swoosh, swish swoosh..”
„Plop..”
Oh no! As the woodcutter was cutting the woods, his axe slipped from his hands and
fellinside the river. The river was very deep. So he couldn't get into the water to take
his axeout. He started crying.
“ Oh..oh..what am I going to do?”
“ I have lost my precious axe. Oh dear, oh dear..”
Suddenly, a beautiful angel appeared from inside the river water.
“ Why are crying my dear woodcutter?”
She asked.
“ Oh, I have lost my axe…now I won‟t be able to cut woods anymore.”
The woodcutter told her how his axe fell inside the water. The angel went inside the
water and after sometime came out with a golden axe in her hands. The wood cutter
refused to accept that golden axe. The angel again went inside the water. This time she
came out with a silver axe and gave it to the woodcutter. Again the woodcutter refused
saying that his was not a silver axe. The angel dived into the water. This time she came
out with the woodcutter's iron axe. The woodcutter happily accepted his axe and
thanked the angel. The angel was pleased with his honesty. The angel rewarded the
gold and the silver axes to that woodcutter.
This story tells us that honesty always gets rewarded. Thank you.
A very good afternoon to the HONOURABLE JUDGES, LOYAL TIME-KEEPER,

I’m ____________ from class __________and I’m going to tell you a story entitled THE
BOYWHO CRIED 'WOLF'.
Once there was a shepherd boy who had to look after a flock of sheep. One day, he felt
bored and decided to play a trick on the villagers. He shouted, “Help! Wolf! Wolf!”
The villagers heard his cries and rushed out of the village to help the shepherd boy.
When they reached him, they asked,
“Where is the wolf?”
The shepherd
boy laughed loudly, “Ha, Ha, Ha! I fooled all of you.
I was only playing a trick on you.”
A few days later, the shepherd boy played this trick again.
Again he cried, “Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!” Again, the villagers rushed up the hill
to help him and again they found that boy had tricked them. They were very angry with
him for being so naughty. The villagers then return to their homes. Then, sometime
later, a wolf went into the field. The wolf attacked one sheep, and then another and
another. The shepherd boy ran towards the village shouting, “Help! Help! Wolf! Help!
Somebody!”
The villagers heard his cries but they laughed because they thought it was another
trick. The boy ran to the nearest villager and said, “A wolf is attacking the sheep. I lied
before, but this time it is true!”
Finally, the villagers went to look. It was true. They could see the wolf running away
and many dead sheep lying on the grass.
My friends!
We may not believe someone who often tells lies, even when he tells the truth. That is
the moral value that we can learn from this story.
A very good afternoon to the HONOURABLE JUDGES, LOYAL TIME-KEEPER,

I’m ____________ from class __________and I’m going to tell you a story entitled THE
MIDAS TOUCH'.
There was once a king named Midas who loved gold. One day, God appeared before him
and asked him to wish for anything.
Being greedy about gold, Midas said, "Everything I touch should turn to gold." God
granted his wish and told him that, from the next day, everything he touched would
turn to gold.
Midas was very happy. He woke up early the next morning and went around touching
everything and turning them to gold.
After a while, Midas felt hungry. He picked up a piece of bread to eat, but it turned to
gold. When he picked up a glass of water to quench his thirst, it turned to gold as well.
As Midas was thinking about what to do, his daughter rushed to him. And, when Midas
touched her, she turned into a golden statue.
Miserable and teary-eyed, Midas no longer wanted the boon. He prayed to God and
atoned for his greed. Pleased by Midas' prayer, God asked him to wash his hands in the
nearby river to get rid of the golden touch.
Midas returned after washing his hands and found that everything he had changed to
gold had turned back to normal.
The moral of the story is Greed can be destructive. Also, there are many things in life
more important and precious than gold or riches. Thank you.
Good afternoon to teachers and all my friends, today my poem is
“Where To Nest?”
Little bird, little bird,
Fly around,
Up to the sky,
Down to the ground.
Little bird, little bird,
Flap your wings.
Open your beak
And sweetly sing.
Little bird, little bird,
Fly to your nest.
Now it is time
To take a rest.
Thank you.
