Story with Moral

One day it was very hot. A bee was very thirsty. It went to a river to drink water. The water current was very strong. It carried the bee away. It was drowning. There was a tree on the bank of the river. A dove was sitting on it. She saw the drowning bee. She took pity on it. She plucked a leaf and dropped it near the bee. The bee climbed up the leaf. It dried its wings and flew away.
Some days later, a hunter came there. He saw the dove. He aimed at her. The bee saw all this. It flew to the hunter. It stung him on his hand. The hunter missed his aim. The dove flew away. Her life was saved. She thanked the bee. They became fast friends.

Moral: Do good, have good.

Own Stories

Students should write stories with own. Never try to copy the stories of other. After reading a story we can take an idea only.
