Tia, yesterday in our class my friend, Ben forgot to bring one of his text book
and Ted offered to share his text book with him
Ben promised Ted to help him in learning football after school
but after school when Ted asked Ben to help
as promised instead of helping Ben left for his home
That’s Bad, One should always stand by their promises.
But Tia, today again Ben forgot his text book
and when he asked Ted to help
Ted refused
Tofu! We should be sensitive towards every human being
You know we should always help people around
Come, I'll tell you a story!
Once upon a time
there lived a beautiful princess
in the kingdom of a very humble King
The Princess was so pampered by her father
that she turned out to be a little proud of the fact
that she is a Princess
Many a times the king asked her to be more humble
towards the people around her
because that the way a princess should be
I know my little princess that you are my pampered child
but you should be a little more empathetic towards other people
Every body is same, its just that some are fortunate, some are not!
But the princess just ignored what her father had to say
and went out to play with the golden ball
that her father had gifted her on her birthday
She loved the ball but no sooner had she started playing
that her ball bounced and went into a pond.
Oh God! My favorite golden ball
I would give anything to get back my favorite ball. ANYTHING!
Hearing the princess cry out loudly
a frog leaped up and sat on a lotus leaf and said
Princess, I just saw what happened
I will get the golden ball back for you
but you have to promise me something.
how in the world did this slimy frog talk
The princess only wanted her ball back
so she hurriedly said "Yes"
What is it that you want in return?
I want you to take me back to your palace and pamper me
I would eat with you, play with you and sleep in bed with you.
The princess was horrified at the very idea
and had no intention of doing any such thing
She agreed to the condition
as she thought the frog would not be able to reach the palace on his own
and she had no intention of taking him along with her
She told him to hurry and get the ball back
and waited with bated breath for her golden ball
The frog jumped into the pond
and in no time at all came back with the golden ball
She took the ball from him and ran back to her palace as fast as she could
Princess Come back. You promised to take me with you
You can’t break your promise.
But the princess ignored to his calling and ran as fast as she could
She was relieved when she reached her room and soon forgot all about the frog
At night while she was having dinner with her father
there was a loud knock on the door
Open the door , oh Princess!
It's me the frog from the pond
You promised to keep me with you
Being a true princess you should keep up to your promise now
Who is that and what does he want?
The princess, being a little scared of her father
told him about the afternoon incidence
and how she broke her promise.
You are a true Princess my love
and you should keep up to your promise, no matter what
Feeling helpless, the princess opened the door
and let the frog enter
He hopped on to the seat next to her
and asked her to let him eat from her plate
The frog ate, till his tummy was full.
But the princess couldn’t eat a single bite
thinking about the slimy frog eating from her plate
Then the frog asked her to carry him to her bedroom
and let him sleep in her bed
Unwillingly, she picked him up in her hands and went upstairs
The frog jumped on her bed and snuggled cozily in her huge soft bed
The next morning the princess got up to find the frog missing from her bed
Happily she hopped from her bed, thinking that the ordeal was is over
But as the night fell, the knock again happened
and again the frog ate from her plate and slept in her bed.
Feeling sad about sharing her food and bed
she went to her father
and asked him
if she could stop now
The king again told her that a promise was a promise and can not be broken
It was the third night, when the frog came in again to eat and sleep in her bed
But the next morning
the princess was astonished to see that the frog was not in her bed
and a handsome young prince was standing next to her bed.
What? Who are you ?
where is the slimy frog?
Dear Princess
it's me the frog
A witch cast a spell on me that could be broken
only if a Princess would let me eat in her plate
and sleep in her bed for three nights
You broke that spell by keeping your promise
and here I am standing in front of you
I am the prince from the Neighbouring country.
Would you like to be my wife?
Not able to resist the handsome prince
she said yes, but had something more to say
Oh! prince, i would love to be your wife
but how could you forgive me for being so rude to you?
She was guilty like hell but the Prince was a humble man
Oh! My dear princess
i can understand your reasons and am ready to forgive you
but you have to promise me that in future
You won't judge anybody by the way one looks or the job one does
every one is equal.
and thats have they should be treated
equally
Saying this the prince took her in his arms
and decided to take her to his kingdom
where they lived happily ever after.
Oh! Tia, you are right we should always keep our promises
and help people in need
Thanks for the lovely moral story.
Come Tofu let’s go and play some games now
