Help others and you will be helped
Once upon a time there lived a kind and generous man named Raza in a small village in the mountains. He was loved by everyone in the village, and was always ready to help those in need.
One day there was a heavy storm and boulders blocked the only road leading out of the village. Villagers were stranded, and many were in desperate need of food and supplies.
Raza knew he had to act fast. He gathered the villagers together and they worked together to clean the road. But despite their best efforts, the road remained blocked.
Raza knew he had to get help from outside the village. So, he set off on foot, reached a nearby town and resolved to bring aid to his fellow villagers.
The journey was long and difficult, but Raza kept going because of his desire to help others. Finally, when he reached the settlement, he saw that the people there were also suffering from the storm. But instead of turning away, Raza shares what he has with the townspeople. When the storm subsides, Reza sees that there is not much damage and asks for supplies for his village. The villagers were aware of Raza’s compassion, so they gave the goods.
When Raza returned to his village with the goods, the people were very happy. They realized that it is not about self-promotion, but about helping others. Since then the village became famous for its generosity and compassion and Raza became a beloved leader and hero to all.

Selfish Dog
Once upon a time, there was a clever dog named Felix. He lived in a dense forest and was known for his wit and cunning. He was always able to outsmart the other animals and get what he wanted.
One day, a terrible drought struck the forest, and the animals began to starve. The rivers and streams ran dry, and there was no food to be found. Everyone was struggling to survive, except for Felix. He had hoarded a large stash of food, and he refused to share it with the other animals.
The animals were furious with Felix and begged him to share his food. But Felix was selfish and refused to listen. He believed that he had worked hard to gather the food, and it was his right to keep it for himself.
As the days passed, more and more animals began to die from starvation. Felix watched from his comfortable den, enjoying his food while his friends and neighbors perished.
But one day, Felix woke up to find that his food stash had been ravaged by a pack of wolves. He had nothing left to eat, and he realized too late that his greed had cost him everything.
Feeling guilty and alone, Felix went to the other animals to apologize and asked for their forgiveness. The animals are skeptical at first, but they see that Felix is truly remorseful and they forgave him. Together they worked to build their community and find ways to survive the drought.
Moral of the story: “Sharing and cooperation lead to mutual benefit, while greed brings only sorrow.”
The industrious ant
Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a hardworking male ant named Alex. He was always busy gathering food for the winter and was always one of the first to start and the last to finish. All the other ants would often see him working and tell him to stop, to take a break, to enjoy life.
But Alex would always reply with “Winter is coming, I need to gather as much food as I can.”
One summer day, while Alex was working hard, a grasshopper came by, playing a musical instrument and singing. The grasshopper mocked Alex for working so hard and invited him to come and play instead.
But Alex refused, saying “Winter is coming, I need to gather as much food as I can.”
The grasshopper laughed and sang, enjoying the warm summer days, and not worrying about the future. But when winter came, the ant had food stored and was able to survive, while the grasshopper had nothing, and died of starvation.
Moral of the story: “A stitch in time saves”, “It’s better to be prepared for the opportunity have than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.”
The rich prince
It is mentioned once upon a time that in a distant kingdom there lived a young prince named Sher Ali. He was the only child of the king and queen, and he had everything he could ever want – the best clothes, the tastiest food, and the most beautiful horses. But despite all his wealth, Sher Ali was not happy. He was bored and unfulfilled.
One day, while out hunting, Sher Ali stumbled upon a poor village on the outskirts of the kingdom. He was horrified by the poverty and suffering he saw there. He saw children without shoes, families huddled together for warmth, and old people with no one to care for them.
Sher Ali knew he had to do something to help these people. He returned to the palace and begged his parents to do something to alleviate the poverty of the village. But the king and queen were too busy with their own work to pay attention to the plight of the poor.
Determined to make a difference, Sher Ali decided to take matters into his own hands. He disguised himself as a common man and went back to the village. He worked closely with the villagers, helping to build houses and provide food and clothing. He listened to their stories and learned about their struggles.
Through his actions, Sher Ali begins to realize that true happiness comes not from wealth, but from helping others. He returned to the palace in a changed disguise, and with the support of parents, worked to improve the lives of all the people in the kingdom.
Moral of the story: “True happiness comes from helping others, not yourself.”
