    The Three Dolls
    A sage presented a prince with a set of three small dolls. The prince was not amused.
    "Am I a girl that you give me dolls?" he asked.
    "This is a gift for a future king," said the man. "If you look carefully, you'll see a hole in the ear of each doll."
    "So?"
    The sage handed him a piece of string.
    "Pass it through each doll," he said.
    Intrigued, the prince picked up the first doll and put the string into the ear.
    It came out from the other ear.
    "This is one type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, comes out from the other ear. He doesn't retain anything."
    The prince put the string into the second doll. It came out from the mouth.
    "This is the second type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, he tells everybody else."
    The prince picked up the third doll and repeated the process. The string did not reappear from anywhere else.
    "This is the third type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him is locked up within him. It never comes out."
    "What is the best type of person?" asked the prince.
    The man handed him a fourth doll, in answer.
    When the prince put the string into the doll, it came out from the other ear.
    "Do it again," said the sage. The prince repeated the process. This time the string came out from the mouth. When he put the string in a third time, it did not come out at all.
    "This is the best type of person," said the sage. "To be trustworthy, a man must know when not to listen, when to remain silent and when to speak out."

    Plane Truth
    Two travellers, seeking respite from the searing heat of the midday sun, took shelter under a leafy tree.
    They soon felt cool and refreshed.
    “What sort of tree is this? Does it produce edible fruits?” asked one of the men to the other.
    “It’s a plane tree,” said his companion. “Don’t waste your time looking for fruits. It produces neither edible fruits nor good wood. It’s one of the most useless trees around.”
    “How can you say that when you’re enjoying my shade at this very moment?” snapped the tree.

    Moral: Often, a person’s worst critics are those who have benefited the most from him.

    Speedy Rabbit
    A dog spotted a rabbit and started chasing him, but the rabbit got away. Seeing this, a goat stopped to gloat.
    "Too fast for you, wasn't he?" he sneered.
    "Why are you surprised?" said the dog. "I was chasing him for fun; he was running for his life."

    Moral : Performance depends on motivation.

    Monkey Business

    A monkey climbed the roof of a house and entertained the people who had gathered below to watch it, with its antics.
    After it had gone, an ass who craved popularity climbed the roof and tried to perform the same tricks.
    In the process, it dislodged and broke several tiles.
    The owner of the house was furious. His servants went up, drove the ass down, and beat it black and blue.

    Moral: Actions that suit others may not suit you. Be yourself.

    Default Dream of Milk-maid

    The Dreamy Milk-maid


    Milk-maid had been to the meadow to milk her cows. Now she was returning home with a pail of milk on her head.

    She thought, "I will make cream and butter out of this milk. Then selling them, I will buy eggs. and when they hatch, I shall have a goodfarm."

    She further thought, "I shall sell some of my fowls and buy a fine dress. Seeing it on my body at the fair, all the
    boys will admire me. But I will turn them away just tossing my head at them."

    Lost in day dreams, she forgot about the pail on her head. She tossed her head with a jerk and the pail of milk came tumbling down. it was broken and all the milk got spilt.

    "Dear O dear !" she cried, "I have lost my all.
    MORAL: Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
