There was also a poet in the famous court of King Mahmud, whose name was Sanai. Sanai used to write poems and songs of a high order, but they were all in praise of the King. In return, he was honored with numerous awards and honors, prestige, and awards.
This is a onetime event. He wrote some poems in praise of the King. He went to court to hear them. There was a liquor shop on the way, his attention would hardly have gone towards it. Suddenly his feet stopped that day. The reason was that some voice was coming from inside, some drunken fellow was saying – “Give a glass in the name of King Mahmud’s blindness”.
“Idiot” – the bartender was saying, “You will be in trouble if anyone listens. Why are you feasting on your death.” “What sign of blindness did you see in the King?”
“Seen a lot”, said the drinker – “the king has no shortage to live happily, he has wealth, then he sees nothing.” To garner him, he attacks neighboring kingdoms. , robs there, and kills thousands of innocent people. If this isn’t blind, then what is?”
Sanai stood here and started thinking about something. Again the same voice came from inside, “Give another mirror on Sana’s stupidity.”
Now the bartender got irritated. Sanai’s ears also stood up to listen attentively, the bartender was saying – “What nonsense, for a good poet like Sanai, you are not ashamed to say this.
Sanai is a very good poet, the drinker was saying “But even such a fool will not be found in the world. He does not know what gift God has given him, he is spending his capacity in praising the blind king.”
Hearing these words of drunkard, which Saki thought was just nonsense, Sanai’s eyes opened. As his heart began to prick, he was back on his feet. The poem he had composed in praise of the King, teared it on the way of home.

2nd Moral story for kids: Shame on such wealth
Once Goddess of wealth came to earth. She called the people of the nearby areas and said “I am Lakshmi. I have come to give the desired boon to the people of this area. Ask whatever you want.” Information was also given about the day on which the boon would be received. Time was given so that as many people as possible could get the information so they can reach on time and get the desired benefits.
All the people in that area did the business of agriculture. Earth also got this news. He gathered all his farmer sons and explained that you should not fall into the trap of getting free wealth. Keep working hard. I will not leave you in any absence.
No one accepted this advice. All were eager to get bountiful wealth without hard work. They didn’t stop. At the appointed time, lakhs of people appeared in front of Lakshmi. The visitors went on receiving arbitrary money. Goddess of wealth fulfilled the wish of everyone who asked.
She returned to heaven by doing as many wishes as she could. People should not be blown away after getting huge wealth. They started enjoying that wealth freely and many more areas got ruined.
There was no shortage of money among the farmers. They started consuming it arbitrarily. stopped farming, and Plow-bull sold. Why get into the hassle of hard work? Everyone became disinterested in their business. When there is a lot of wealth in hand, then what is the need to work hard?
Everyone stopped farming. The stored warehouse’s food began to run out. Inflation started rising and within a few years, the situation came to such a point that inflation reached its peak. Even after spending money, a famine-like situation arose without getting food.
Wealth boxes were full, but grains were not available. Due to a lack of means to quench hunger, people started dying of hunger. Being weak and suffering from diseases, he started giving up his life. Within no time most of the people in that area died of hunger. Those who survived migrated to areas with better conditions. The area became vacant. The animals were already dead. The area was also emptied of humans. The thieves took away the wealth.
No matter how small the evil, its consequences are direct. It is neither good for the individual nor for society. Evil only increases with evil and makes society down.
This story is useful even in today’s circumstances. Laxmi’s longing has made a person a consumerist by turning away from farming and he has turned away from nature, so that the result may be that in the coming days, we miss our greenish earth and the means of quenching hunger will not be available.

He stroked his beard, and called out to the family members. Hearing the father’s voice, all the boys and grandsons came out of the house and said – Tell me, what is the order?”
Pointing, the old man said – “Children! That mountain is visible, it is standing surrounded by so much land. If we try, we can remove it from its place. One or two, not four days, until it is removed. If you don’t take a rest, you can definitely dig up the mountain and get flat land.
The children liked the enthusiastic words of the old farmer. He said-‘ ‘Yes Father! We will remove it?”
“Then don’t delay, let’s get started now.” The old man said to the children, wishing for victory.

The donkeys were frightened and thought. He thought that what is the use of losing life in vain? Let’s go somewhere else. Leaving the forest, they started towards the village.

He gave a place in his shed and tied it with a peg around his neck and said – “There is no need to be afraid. I will deal with the fishes. You stay in my enclosure without any fear.

10th Moral story for kids: Flamingo and Crow
After crossing many countries, a group of flamingos stopped at the beach. The famous gardens of the Konark dynasty were here. The gardener there used to host these flamingos every year, and the flamingos used to give a sermon every year to the gardener as a reward.
This time too, the gardener served a feast with beautiful, sweet fruits to the visitors. Leader of
flamingos preached to the gardener and said – “The person who lives in the limits of his power and means, he spends his life happily even in meager means, but those who pretend to be more than their power get into trouble and be the object of ridicule .”
The gardener was greatly impressed by the flamingo’s scholarship. When he started giving something for the way, the flamingoes refused and said- “accumulation is a sin. You take this food. There are many other people in the world who are in need, give them. Strong people fulfill their needs on their own. Even if you get it or get it from anywhere, it is the work of lousy people.
The crow sitting on the banyan tree heard these words of the leader. Puffing wings, the rowdy went to the group of flamingos and started saying good and bad and said – ” If you people are proud of superiority, then accept my challenge. Look the vast ocean is spread far away, Let’s see, who has the power to cross it? Now it will be known whether you guys are able or I.”
Flamingo laughed and said -” We do not compete with anyone. You also should not. God has created more capable creatures than one, then why should anyone be proud of his power!” Saying this, the group of flamingos sprang up and started on their journey, but the rowdy crow was not going to leave them like that.
He also flew beside the flamingos and went ahead showing a little speed. The swan moves forward and backward in its natural motion. In between, the crow used to sarcasm one or the other and said- “If you get tired then tell me, we only want to show you our power, do not want to kill you.” Without giving any answer, the flamingos were flying slowly over the sea.
It had just been flying for a while that the talkative crow’s body got tired, and its wings became loose, it felt as if it fell now, then it fell, but its arrogance did not go away even now.
The crow was about to fall into the sea in a moment. His eyes welled up at his own act. Seeing this, the flamingos felt pity. He made the crow sitting on his back, then turned back and took the crow to where it lived.
Till now the crow was getting breathless. Flamingos said – “Never perform more than your strength, otherwise you will be killed.” Saying this, the group started on their journey again.
