Today i am going to tell you a very interesting story
does the story have a moral in it does god want us to learn something from the story yes of course
then go on with the story holy olivia was a young girl who lived with her mother
father and her little younger brother one day olivia's mother called for her olivia
please go and get some nice apples from the orchard i am thinking of making some apple
stew for your brother olivia loved going to the orchard so she went
olivia entered the orchard and looked at the beautiful apple trees
filled with succulent red apples
she walked through the orchard with a basket and stopped under an apple tree she looked
up and saw the apples in this tree did not look very pleasing they were dark in color
not very big some even had dark spots on them as if they were smashed some were pecked on by
birds these apples do not look nice at all let me go and check another tree
so she ignored the first tree and walked right ahead then she stopped under another tree which
had bright red shiny apples they were smooth and looked very pretty wow these apples are so
so much better than the ones i saw earlier i am going to take apples from here olivia picked out
the apples which she thought were the best ones the big and round and the shiny ones she couldn't
wait to take them back home and eat them with a basket full of apples happily she went home
look mom i've got such nice looking apples
her mother looked at the apples but did not say anything
she got a knife from the kitchen and cut one apple to olivia's surprise the apple was rotten to the
core how could this happen they are such nice looking apples how can they be rotten from within
olivia's mother took another apple and cut it open this too was rotten just like the other one olivia
was very disappointed her mother picked her up on her lap and said olivia let me tell you one thing
there are some things which look very nice and beautiful from outside but that's only skin deep
their goodness does not lie from within the apples you thought were rotten from outside
were probably the ones which were fresh and nice from inside so you've got to learn to
recognize something or someone's goodness from inside so what is the moral of the story
that we should never judge a book by its cover and that god wants us to go deeper inside
to understand someone's goodness and god does not want us to judge someone superficially excellent
the holy tales let me tell you the story of emily there lived a young girl called carol
she was six years old and a very popular girl in school she was friendly and sweet
and everyone wanted to be friends with her one day a new girl called emily came into carol's class
she was a quiet and shy little girl she went and sat all by herself in the last row
carol who was sitting in the front row turned back at emily and smiled to make her feel comfortable
emily smiled back at her a little hesitant the teacher entered the class and began teaching
soon the bell rang and it was lunch break all the children got up and ran out into the garden
to play except emily carol was about to leave the classroom and she looked back and saw emily
sitting all alone looking out of the window carol went up to her and said hey why don't
you come and join us it's fun during the breaks we all play together come emily didn't know
if she really wanted to go out and play with the others she was feeling very shy in her new school
but carol would not leave her alone she pulled emily by her hand and ran out of the classroom
she took her out into the garden and brought her to her other friends
look we have a new friend everyone meet emily emily these are my friends
emily smiled shyly there was one boy in the group who did not smile back at emily he said no
i'm not going to play with her i am not playing if she is playing with us saying this
he stomped off emily started crying and she ran away from everyone carol was angry
with tim for his rude behavior so she made a plan and discussed it with her other friends
next day after class carol went out to play with her friends they took emily with them
too but this time they did not take tim along with them tim sat all by himself and watched
everyone playing together and having fun he felt really bad he thought to himself that's okay
they'll want me to play with them tomorrow the next day the same thing happened emily
carol and all of their other friends were playing together this time too without tim
tim was very angry with carol for leaving him out he walked up to all of them and said
how can you all start playing without me now do you realize how emily must have felt
when you chose not to play with her tim realized his fault he apologized to emily and they
all started playing together happily so it is never a good feeling if people don't choose you
we should always love everyone the same way i am sorry gumbo i didn't want to hurt you
you can take mine for now and i promise to get you another one the next time
the holy tales haven't you heard the story of gideon the story of ian yes come gumbo i'll
tell you the story of ian and you will understand god always makes us strong if you believe in him
there was a young boy called ian who lived with his father ian's father was a lion tamer at the
circus they were quite poor ian was not a strong boy he was rather weak and small
one day ian's father felt very ill he lay on his bed and in a very feeble voice said
ian i do not feel very well i cannot work very much today but we need
money for food all right father i'll go and borrow some food from our neighbors no
ian today you go to the circus and do my work that way we'll get some money for food
you must be joking father how can i go and tame a lion like you i have no idea about taming lions
you learn my boy once you see the lion you'll understand how to control him ian was not
very convinced but father look at me i am so small and weak how can i tame a lion lion is
wild and ferocious he will attack me and eat me up immediately i cannot do what you're asking
me to do father ian's father realized that ian not only thought himself to be weak and small
but also did not believe in himself ian always remember that god is with you god will help you
and guide you through every step there is no reason for you to be afraid go and tame the
lion and you will see how strong and brave you are have faith in god and believe in him and yourself
so ian left he had to listen to his father once ian was inside the cage all his fright went away
he prayed to god and started with his work the lion attacked him for the first few times
ian was not afraid at all he hit the ground with his whip a few times the lion snarled
at him then when the lion was just about to jump on him he cracked his whip one last time
to his surprise the mighty lion was entirely in his control he was like
a little cat in front of ian ian walked out of the cage with not a single scratch on him
so gumbo next time when you are afraid of something always remember that god is always there
to help you to be strong and brave god will always love you and be with you come tubby fight me i'm
not afraid of you or anyone or anything i'm strong and brave because i love god and god loves me
yes tubby me too come and fight us no no i don't want to fight with my best friends
i am sorry for laughing at you gumbo
