    The Golden Touch

    The Greek king Midas did a good deed for a Satyr. This prompted
    Dionysus, the god of wine, to grant him a wish. Midas asked for
    everything he touched to turn to gold. Dionysus’ warned him not to do
    so, but Midas could not be swayed. Midas excitedly started touching
    everything and turning them into gold. Soon, he became hungry. But
    he couldn’t eat anything because even his food turned to gold. His
    beloved daughter saw him in distress and ran to hug him. However,
    she, too, turned to gold. He realised then the golden touch was not a
    blessing.

    Moral: Greed leads one to downfall.

    The Fox and the Grapes

    A hungry fox once looked everywhere for food. He couldn’t find


    anything until he stumbled upon a farmer’s wall. He saw big, purple,
    juicy grapes. He jumped as high as possible to reach the grapes. No
    matter how many times he tried, he failed. Finally, he gave up and
    went home, thinking to himself that the grapes must have been sour
    anyway.

    Moral: Nothing comes easy, do not hate what you can’t have.

    The Proud Rose

    In the desert existed a rose and a cactus. The beautiful rose would take
    every opportunity to insult the cactus. The other plants tried to defend
    the cactus, but the rose was too obsessed with its own looks. There was
    no water during a particularly hot summer. The rose started to wither
    away. But the cactus had become a source of water for sparrows. The
    rose asked the cactus for water, and the nice cactus readily agreed.

    Moral: Never judge someone according to how they look.
