THE GREEDY CLOUD

Once upon a time, there was a cloud that was grown up over a very beautiful country.
One day, she saw anothermuch bigger cloud and she felt so much envy that the cloud
decided that, in order to get bigger and grow more, her water would never abandon her
and will never start raining again.

Indeed, the cloud grew up, while his country was getting dry. First, rivers dried up, then
people, animals, plants, and finally, the whole country became a desert. The cloud did not
care much, but she also did not realize that by being over a desert there was no place
where she could obtain new water to keep growing. So slowly, the cloud began to lose
size, and was unable to do anything to stop it .

The cloud then realized her mistake, and that her greed and selfishness were the cause of
her vanishing; but just before evaporating, when she was just a sigh of cotton, there
started blowing a gentle breeze. The cloud was so small and weighed so little that the
wind took her far away, to a faraway beautiful country, where once again she recovered
her original size.

Having learned this lesson, our cloud remained small and modest, but she became so
generous when raining, that her new country became even greener, giving away to all
people there the most beautiful rainbow in the world.

The Cow Squad

Four cows had been friends since forever. They did everything together, from grazing
grass to resting and playing around. Because they always had each other, no lion or tiger
could prey on them.

But one day, the four cows got into a fight. They argued and argued, till they decided that
they would part ways. That day each cow did everything on its own. They grazed alone,
rested alone, and hopped around alone. Soon the lions and the tigers began to notice and
hid in the bushes. As each cow passed by, they pounced on the cows and killed them all
one by one.

The Four Friends Who Studied Hard

There was a group of four boys, who loved to party. If given the choice they would
always pick partying over studying because they hated studying so much. A night before
their test, they were out having fun once again and ended up missing it the next morning.
They lied to the Dean that their car had a flat tire and because they didn’t have a spare
they had to push it back in time. The Dean listened carefully and told them they could
give the exam later.

Having gotten another chance, the boys studied happily and hard. They believed they had
fooled the Dean. As they arrived for the exam they were asked to sit in separate
classrooms and to their surprise, the 100 mark exam only had two questions. “Your
name?” and “which side tire did you burst?”

Controlling Anger

A father noticed that his son could not control his anger. He would often lose his temper
and say whatever came to his mouth. His father came up with a plan. He gave his son
some nails and a hammer, asking him to knock a nail into the fence each time he said
something rude. The first week, he used up most of the nails. The next week he used
fewer and so on, till he did not need to hammer in any nails.

Now his father asked him to remove a nail each day he didn’t lose his temper. The boy
did as asked till he had slowly removed all the nails. His father then showed him all the
holes left in the fence.
