Set 20

It was a cold and silent night. The weather was freezing. A group of monkeys were on a tree. They were clinging to its branches. Suddenly, they noticed a flock of fireflies. One of the young monkeys thought it was fire. He caught a firefly. He put it under a dry leaf and started blowing at it. Some other monkeys also joined in his endeavor. A sparrow came to its nest flying. The monkeys were sitting on the same tree. She noticed what they were doing. The sparrow laughed. She said, ‘Hey silly monkeys that is a firefly, not real fire.’ The monkeys did not listen to the sparrow. They continued to blow at the poor firefly. After some time the monkeys became very tired. Now they realized what the sparrow had said was correct. They set free the firefly and moved to a nearby cave.

Children always like to listen to fascinating stories. But if the stories are uninteresting, they lose interest. There should not have anything immoral in the stories for children. Again stories should be long that they can make children impatient. Stories should not even contain anything illogical or anything that can make children irregular in their studies. The stories should be instructive leading the children to be perfect morally and ethically. Parents can play a large role here in teaching their children what to choose and what not.
