The Donkey in the Well

One day, a farmer's old donkey fell into a dry well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure
out what to do.

Finally, the farmer gave up. The donkey was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway. So, he
invited his neighbors to help him shovel dirt into the well to bury the donkey and put it out of its misery.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried terribly. But soon, something amazing
happened.

As each shovel of dirt landed on the donkey's back, he would shake it off and step up.

The neighbors kept shoveling. The donkey kept shaking it off and stepping up. Shovel after shovel, step
by step, he rose higher until, finally, he stepped right out of the well and trotted off—alive and free!

The Clever Rabbit and the Hungry Lion

Once upon a time, in a peaceful forest, all the animals lived happily—until one day, a hungry lion arrived.
He roared, “Every day, one of you must come to me as my meal, or I will hunt all of you!”

Terrified, the animals agreed.

Each day, one animal went to the lion, until finally, it was the turn of a small, clever rabbit.

Instead of running to the lion right away, the rabbit took a nap and arrived late. The lion roared in anger,
“You’re late! I’ll eat you now!”

But the rabbit calmly said, “Oh mighty lion, I was coming with another rabbit as your meal—but on the way,
we met another lion who claimed he was the true king of the jungle. He took the other rabbit and said he
would defeat you.”

The lion growled in rage, “Another lion? Show me where he is!”

The rabbit led the lion to a deep well and said, “He’s in there!” The lion looked into the well and saw his
own reflection. He roared and jumped in to attack… only to sink and drown.

All the animals cheered, and the clever rabbit became a hero in the forest.

The Tale of the Wise Tiger

Once upon a time, deep in the lush jungles of India, lived a mighty tiger named Sundar. He was feared by
every animal for his strength, and admired for his graceful power. But Sundar wasn’t like other tigers — he
was wise and thoughtful.

One hot summer afternoon, Sundar went to the river for a drink. As he approached, he noticed a tiny deer
trapped in the mud near the bank. The deer was crying for help.

Now, a tiger could easily see this as an easy meal. But instead, Sundar paused.

The little deer said, “I know you’re a tiger and could eat me… but I trust you. Please help me.”

Sundar’s eyes softened. He reached out with his strong paw and gently pulled the deer out of the mud.
“Why did you save me?” the deer asked, trembling.

Sundar replied, “Because real strength is not in taking life… it’s in knowing when to save it.”

Word of Sundar’s kindness spread across the forest. Animals who once feared him now respected him
even more. He became not only the strongest, but also the most loved creature in the jungle.
