7. A Wise Old Owl
There was an old owl that lived in an oak. Everyday he saw incidents
happening around him. Yesterday he saw a boy helping an old man to carry a
heavy basket. Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw
the less he spoke.
As he spoke less, he heard more. He heard people talking and telling stories.
He heard a woman saying that an elephant jumped over a fence. He also heard
a man saying that he had never made a mistake.
The old owl had seen and heard about what happened to people. Some
became better and some became worse. But the old owl had become wiser
each and every day.

A Moral Story : Two Friends
and The Bear
Vijay and Raju were friends. On a holiday they went into a forest. They were enjoying
the beauty of nature. Suddenly they saw a bear coming at them. They were
frightened.
Raju who knew climbing trees ran up to a tree and climbed up quickly. He did not
think of Vijay. Vijay did not know tree climbing.
Vijay thought for a second. He had heard animals do not prefer dead bodies. He fell
to the ground and held his breath. The bear sniffed him and thought he was dead.
So, he went away.
Raju asked Vijay," What did the bear whisper into your ears?"
Vijay replied, "The bear asked me to keep away from friends like you" and went on
his way.
12. • MORAL : A friend in need is a
friend indeed.
13. conclusion
Taking everything into the consideration I
want to claim that for children stories teach
moral lessons which will be planted in their
young minds and that they can ponder upon as
they grow older . Other than that, they help in
the enhancement of children’s imaginative
thinking which leads to creativity one thing
more their vocabularies will be developed
14. As a result, this will help them develop
their communication skills both in oral an
written communication. For older person
stories especially with those that contain
humor entertain people. They also would
provoke questions in the minds of people
regarding life and society. Seeing those
benefits that stories can give , I is just
correct to conclude that reading short
stories is helpful to all
