THE UGLY DUCKLING

It was a bright summer afternoon, mother duck found a lovely spot under a tree by the
pond to lay her eggs. She laid five eggs. Suddenly, she noticed that one of the eggs was
different from the other eggs. She got a little worried. She waited for them to hatch.

One fine morning at last, one after another the eggs began to crack. “Pee-pee,” they
said. All the eggs had come alive and the ducklings were poking their heads out into the big
world. All broke except one. “oh what sweet babies I have. What a lucky mother I am.”

But what happened to the fifth one? The duck was worried. This last egg is taking such
a long time. She sat on the egg and gave it all the warmth that it could give. This would be the
most beautiful duckling of all since this is taking so much time to hatch.

One fine morning when the egg broke, there came out an ugly gray-colored duckling.
“Pee-pee. “ This duckling was different from its other siblings. It was very big and rather ugly.
“None of my other ducklings looked like that. This one is perhaps ugly,”
the mother duck was surprised to see her and was very sad. Mother hoped that one day she
would become just like her siblings.

But days went by and the duckling remained ugly. All her brothers and sisters made fun
of the duckling and they would not play with him. The duckling was very sad.
“You are ugly.”
“Oh… look at that ugly little thing on the earth.”
“Yeah, go away you're so ugly. We will not play with you you, ugly monster.”

They all laughed at him. The ugly duckling was really sad. The ugly duckling went to the
pond and looked at his reflection in the pond. Nobody likes me. I'm so ugly. The duckling
decided to leave the family and go somewhere deep into the woods.

The duckling wandered all alone in the deep forest. Soon, when winter came by there
was snow all around. The duckling was sad and he shivered with cold but couldn't find any food
to eat or a warm place to be in. He went to a family of ducks, they rejected him. “You are an ugly
chat. Who was this ugly fellow?

He went to stay in the hen's house. There the hens pecked him with their beaks so he
ran away. He met a dog on the way. The dog saw him and went away. The ugly duckling
thought to himself, “I'm so ugly that even the dog doesn't want to eat me.”

The ugly duckling sadly started wandering in the woods again. There he met a peasant
who took him home to his wife and children, but even there he was troubled by the cat that lived
there. So he left the peasant's house soon.

It was spring. Everything was fresh and green. Once again, walking and walking, he saw
a river. He was so happy to see the water again. He went close to the river where he saw a
beautiful swan swimming. He fell in love with her. The duckling was ashamed of himself and
bowed his head low.
 When he bent his head, he saw his own reflection in the water and was astonished. He
wasn't ugly anymore. He had turned into a handsome young swan. Now he realized why he
looked different from his siblings because he was a swan and they were ducks.

He married the beautiful swan that he had fallen in love with and lived happily ever after.

palace during the confusion and took his
4.56
pot with him
4.57
he went straight to a cliff and threw
5.00
the magic pot off the cliff
5.03
the pot disintegrated into pieces and
5.05
disappeared
5.07
from that day on
5.09
gopis field began to grow crops once
5.11
again
5.12
and gopi understood
5.14
that the land became fertile not by
5.17
magic
5.18
but by labor
5.20
and he lived in wealth forever

THE MYTH OF HADES AND PERSEPHONE

Every year before the ancient Greeks sowed their seeds of grain,
0.11
they celebrated Demeter, the goddess of agriculture.
0.15
On Earth, each morsel of food was sweet sustenance,
0.20
while in the land of the dead, it ensured a permanent stay.
0.24
Demeter tended to Earth’s fields with her beloved daughter, Persephone,
0.30
who inherited her mother’s passions and grew into a bright young woman.
0.35
But all the while, a shadowy figure watched from below.
0.40
One day, Persephone was frolicking in a meadow
0.43
with a freshwater nymph, Cyane.
0.45
As they admired a blooming narcissus flower,
0.49
they noticed it tremble in the ground.
0.51
Suddenly, the earth split, and a terrifying figure arose.
0.57
It was Hades, god of the dead and the underworld.
1.01
He wrenched Persephone from Cyane, dragged her into his inky chariot,
1.06
and blasted back through the earth.
1.10
Cyane wept so hard she dissolved, becoming one with the river.
1.15
By the time Demeter arrived at the scene of the abduction,
1.18
the crater in the meadow had closed— and Cyane and Persephone had vanished.
1.24
Demeter sped to Mount Olympus for help.
1.27
Many of the gods had witnessed the scene.
1.30
And they knew about the deal that paved the way for it:
1.35
Zeus, Persephone’s father, had granted Hades her hand in marriage
1.40
without her consent— or Demeter’s.
1.44
But when faced with Demeter’s pleas, the other gods stayed silent,
1.49
So, she searched alone.
1.51
In her grief and desperation, she neglected her usual tasks.
1.56
Crops withered, and a great famine plagued the Earth.
2.00
As mortals began to perish, the gods grew wary.
2.04
Who would worship them and offer tributes if the humans disappeared?
2.09
So, Zeus ordered Demeter to stop her crusade and returned to her duties.
2.15
But she refused.
2.17
Deep below, across the frigid river Styx, and through the halls of the underworld,
2.23
Persephone was waging her own protest.
2.27
Hades expected her to serve as his wife and queen.
2.31
But Persephone rebuffed the god’s advances and refused food.
2.36
As she longed for her mother’s company,
2.39
her friends’ laughter, and the sun’s warmth,
2.42
Persephone grew colder and lonelier.
2.45
And she was starving.
2.48
She hungered for satisfying grains, crisp vegetables and fresh fruit.
2.54
Wandering the ghostly gardens,
2.56
she contemplated the pomegranates that hung heavily on their branches...
3.02
Meanwhile, Demeter continued her hunt.
3.05
She appealed to the all-seeing sun god, Helios,
3.09
whose rays had long warmed her crops.
3.12
Indeed, when Helios drew his golden chariot across the sky that fateful day,
3.18
he saw what happened— and he knew of the deal.
3.22
Out of respect and sympathy for Demeter,
3.25
Helios told her of Hades’ demands, Zeus’ betrayal and Persephone’s abduction.
3.32
Furious and heartbroken, Demeter sped to Mount Olympus and confronted Zeus,
3.38
demanding their daughter’s return.
3.40
But Zeus declined: in her ravenous hunger,
3.44
Persephone had eaten a few seeds from the pomegranate that grew in the underworld.
3.50
Though a meager amount, it was enough to ensnare her in Hades forever.
3.56
Demeter wouldn't accept this fate.
3.58
She swore that if she wasn’t reunited with Persephone,
4.01
the fields would never be fertile again,
4.04
and the distinction between the Earth and the underworld would soon dissolve.
4.10
So, they made a pact.
4.12
For two thirds of every year, Persephone would return to the land of the living,
4.18
But for the remainder, she would stay in the world of the dead.
4.23
When Persephone ascended to Earth, she and her mother rejoiced.
4.28
Together, they showered the fields with rain and nurtured them with sun.
4.33
For mortals, Persephone’s arrival came to herald the start of spring.
4.38
But her descent always came too soon.
4.42
Each time she returned to Hades, Demeter mourned,
4.45
and the earth grew cold, dark, and unyielding,
4.49
ushering in the winter months.
4.52
Knowing Demeter couldn’t be roused from her grief,
4.55
the humans stored their crops, stoked their fires,
4.59
and awaited Persephone’s safe return.
5.03
And so it was that her transit marked the gradual turning of the seasons
5.08
and the bittersweet compromise between life and death.

 THE CHILD GODS
It was the coldest month of the year, in Japan,
0.14
and it was the year end.
0.16
There, lived a poor couple Takeshi and Aiko,
0.20
in a small town.
0.24
Aiko was counting her savings,
0.26
for the new year celebration
0.29
that could bring fortune to their house.
0.33
Oh, sweetheart,
0.35
I don’t see that we have enough money to buy any rice cakes for the new year.
0.41
Don’t worry, honey.
0.43
There must be some way that we could figure out.
0.46
Without eating rice cakes for the new year,
0.49
we’ll not get any good fortune.
0.54
Wait, I got an idea!
0.58
Aiko left the place
1.03
and came back with her wedding kimono.
1.07
Please sell this and get us rice cakes for the new year.
1.11
But, honey, this is your wedding kimono!
1.15
Oh sweet heart
1.16
Don’t feel bad.
1.19
God is going to bless us with good fortune, anyway.
1.22
Listening to Aiko’s words,
1.27
Takeshi left the house,
1.28
to sell the kimono for rice cakes.
1.32
When Takeshi was walking down the snowing streets,
1.35
he came across the statue of God Jizo, on his way.
1.41
Oh, Almighty!
1.43
I don’t have any offerings for you, but,
1.46
while I’m returning, I promise to offer you a rice cake.
1.52
said Takeshi, and left the place.
1.55
On his way to the market,
1.57
he came across five other statues of different Gods,
2.00
and he made the same promise to each of them.
2.10
Later that day, at the market,
2.15
*Sobbing* *Sobbing*
2.20
I have not sold a single fan, yet.
2.23
How on earth will I buy my wedding kimono?
2.28
*Sobbing* *Sobbing*
2.29
Here, miss, you can have this kimono for your wedding.
2.34
But, Sir, I don’t have any money in return.
2.37
It’s okay. Please take this as my gift for your marriage.
2.42
How kind! You can have my entire basket of fans in return.
2.48
Sometime later,
2.50
Beautiful fans, for you!
2.53
Beautiful fans, for you!
2.55
The girl was right nobody would buy fans, in this season.
3.04
I should be able to trade these fans for the bell.
3.07
It looks perfect for the new year celebration.
3.11
Takeshi traded the fans for the beautiful bell.
3.24
And, sometime later,
3.28
Sir, are you interested trading this bell, for my bamboo hats?
3.32
Well, I would love to.
3.34
Takeshi traded the bell for the hats and left for home.
3.39
On his way, he came across a statue of God,
3.43
to whom he had made the promise.
3.46
God, please forgive me for I couldn’t bring you rice cakes.
3.50
Rather have this hat, and it will protect you from the snow.
3.56
He placed the hat on the statue’s head,
4.00
and he did the same for the other four.
4.04
Finally, when he came across the statue of God Jizo,
4.10
Oh, almighty! I’ve run out of bamboo hats.
4.14
Please accept my hat instead.
4.19
And, he returned home.
4.22
Hahaha! You’re very kind, sweetheart.
4.26
Said Aiko, on hearing what happened.
4.29
And, that night the couple went to sleep.
4.38
Did you hear any sound?
4.42
Who would have come here at this time?
4.45
To their surprise,
4.47
Gods, please bless us!
4.51
The Gods blessed Takeshi and Aiko
4.53
and left them a big bowl of rice cakes,
4.56
that would last for days.
5.00
And, the couple had a wonderful new year.
5.07
Kids, what have you learned from the story?
5.10
Despite being poor,
5.11
Takeshi was so generous,
5.14
that the Gods themselves, came to his house to bless the couple
5.18
So, kids,
5.19
don’t forget to be kind and generous to one another,
5.22
all the time.

THE KING AND THE BEGGAR

once upon a time a country was ruled by

0.10
a king who had no son to succeed to the
0.13
throne since the king was getting old he
0.17
wanted to select a suitable successor to
0.20
rule the country the king sent out
0.23
notices throughout his country the
0.26
notice has invited every qualified young
0.29
man in the country for an interview with
0.31
the king the outcome of the interview
0.33
would decide a possible successor to the
0.36

0.39
candidate was that they should have
0.41
immense love for their fellow human
0.43
beings every young man across the
0.45
country was very excited at the
0.48
possibility of being the ruler of the
0.51
country a poor young man from a remote
0.54
village also read the notice and started
0.58
to prepare for an interview with the
1.00
king the man was a kind man a
1.03
hard-working man but he was very poor
1.06
due to various circumstances the man had
1.10
no good clothes to be presentable in the
1.12
sight of the king so the young man
1.14
worked really hard and saved some money
1.17
to buy him proper clothes and supplies
1.19
to support him for the long journey to
1.22
the palace after he got his supplies and
1.25
a proper attire for the interview the
1.28
young man set out on his quest he
1.31
travelled many days and had almost
1.33
completed the journey when he came upon
1.36
a poor beggar by the side of the road
1.40
the poor beggar said trembling in the
1.42
cold covered only in tattered rags the
1.46
beggar extended his arms and pleaded for
1.48
help his weak voice croaked I am hungry
1.52
and cold please help me sir the young
1.57
man was so moved by the pathetic
1.59
condition of the beggar that he
2.01
immediately stripped his new attire and
2.04
offered it to him
2.05
he also provided him with his very
2.08
limited food he had carried for the
2.10
journey the bagger thanked the man a
2.13
thousand times but since the man had
2.16
given up his good clothes to the beggar
2.18
he was a bit hesitant to go for the
2.21
interview he however gathered enough
2.23
courage to enter the palace in his old -
2.26
dirty clothes upon his arrival at the
2.29
palace the King's attendant showed him
2.31
the way to the Great Hall after a short
2.34
rest to clean off the journeys grime the
2.37
man was admitted to the throne room for
2.40
the interview the young man bowed low as
2.42
the King entered the room when he raised
2.46
his eyes he gasped in astonishment as he
2.50
noticed that the King looked very
2.52
similar to the beggar he had met on the
2.54
way the King saw the shock in the man's
2.57
eye and said yes I was the beggar you
3.01
met on your way but why did you dress up
3.04
like a beggar you are a king well why
3.09
did you do this to me
3.10
the young man stammered after gaining
3.12
some composure because I had to be sure
3.15
that you had a good heart and you
3.18
genuinely loved your fellow human beings
3.20
said the king I knew that if I came to
3.23
you as a king you would have done
3.26
anything to impress me but that way I
3.29
would never have known what is truly in
3.31
your heart the generosity and love to
3.34
the one in need without expecting
3.36
anything in return is the sign of a
3.38
great heart looking at your love
3.42
generosity towards the beggar man proved
3.46
that you sincerely love your fellow
3.49
human beings this country needs a leader
3.52
who would work for the welfare of all of
3.55
the nation not just the ones who would
3.58
offer and cater to the throne you have
4.02
proven that you are the right person to
4.04
be my successor promised the king
4.08
you see in life
4.11
kindness is more important than wisdom
4.13
and the recognition of this is the
4.17
beginning of wisdom a heart filled with
4.22
compassion and love to our fellow human
4.25
beings is the greatest gift we can give
4.28
to the world a king in this land today
4.32
might be rich and glamorous might have
4.35
the power and all the might but this
4.39
kingdom is worthless compared to a rich
4.43
heart of a beggar man this is there to
4.47
do motivation stories thanks for
4.51
watching and stay blessed
4.58
you
