Kids Bedtime Story / The Peacock and The Crane

The Peacock and The Crane  


In a whimsical tale for kids, discover the wisdom of valuing usefulness over beauty. Let's get into the story.





Once, there lived a peacock near a lake.  He had beautiful feathers that he admired.  One day, a crane came to stay near the lake.

 

The peacock said, "I am glad to welcome you."  And, the peacock spread its feathers.  The colourful feathers looked beautiful in the bright sunlight.  


The colours were reflected in the water of the lake and looked very attractive.  The proud peacock said, "Look at my feathers.  They are so beautiful and special.  Far more beautiful than yours."


The crane understood the tone.  He said, "Whatever I have, I can fly with it.  Yours beauty is useless because your feathers don't help you fly."  The remark put the peacock in his place and gave him a lesson in humility.  


The moral of the story:  It is better to be useful than to be beautiful.


The End.

The Clever Monkey Chief and the Mango Tree Once upon a time, in a lush forest by the river, there stood a magnificent mango tree. Its branches were laden with plump, ripe mangoes that shimmered like golden jewels under the warm sun. Nearby, a mischievous troop of monkeys made their home, delighting in the sweet bounty of the tree. One bright day, as the sun danced on the river's surface, a king arrived for a fishing expedition.

  The Ugly Tree In a mystical forest where straight trees stood tall, one uniquely twisted tree faced teasing until a surprising twist of fate changed everything. Once upon a time, in a magical forest filled with tall, straight trees, there stood a unique tree unlike any other. This tree had a trunk that curved and twisted, and its branches danced in playful spirals. But sadly, the other trees weren't very kind to our special tree friend. They called it names like "hunchback" and teased it because it looked different. Our tree felt very sad. Whenever it looked at the other trees with their straight and smooth trunks, it wished it could be just like them. "Why did God make me this way?" it sighed. Then, one day, a woodcutter entered the forest. He glanced at the hunched tree and shook his head. "This twisted tree won't do," he muttered, and he began cutting down all the straight trees. But to the surprise of our unique tree, the woodcutter left it s...
