Once upon a time there existed a magical mirror which was said to show horrific images to the viewer. Sometimes the mirror’s reflection would be so horrific that people would pass out or die from the horror.Luckily, this sadistic object was captured by a very strong sect and people were freed from its torture.But the sect leader was now growing old and he needed to select a hier from the sect’s disciples. The disciples were all very talented, clever, kind and respectful. They had all the qualities that a decent sect leader should have. So how to choose the correct person?One day, an idea struck his mind. He invited all the disciples into the training hall and tells them, “Children, as you all know that I am growing old and cannot carry out my responsibilities properly. So I need to choose another person to be the sect leader. Since all of you demonstrate the needed qualities, this makes my work harder. I will choose the person who can look into the magic mirror and tell me what they see.”This sent chills down all the disciples’ spines. They had all heard the horror stories about the mirror ever since they were little children. Some were already scared and didn’t even attempt. Some looked into the mirror and screamed. Some fainted. Some cried.Everyone questioned why the sect leader, who was such a peace loving and kind person, would put people through such stress.In the end only one disciple is left. She looked into the mirror and her eyes widened, her face broke into a sweat but she kept looking.In the end, the vision she sees disappeared and she looks away from the mirror towards the sect leader.“What do you see?” The sect leader asked.“Me.” The girl says.The sect leader selected this girl as his heir. The mirror shows the true self of a person, their good and their bad sides and one can only survive it if they accept themselves. Any one who can accept themselves and understand their flaws and qualities is appropriate for being a leader.Moral:Any one who can accept themselves....being a leader.

Harry was a mischievous clown who loved playing with the children of the town. Every day before his show, he used to go to the park and hide all the things that the children got with them to play. He called it his version of the hide and seek. He gave one free ticket to his show to the child who found the maximum number of missing items.One day on being asked why he did so, he said that he is still a child and his grey hair, and tiny hands and legs make him look old. He loved playing with the children. He feared that the children wouldnít want to play with him, which is why he offered one free ticket to one of them. He said that there was once a magic show in his village, and the magician turned him into an old man. He did not want anybody to make a fool out of him, thatís why he decided to be a clown. The children said that they loved him the way he was and he did not have to make anything up to play with them.The childrenís love made him realise his worth and he accepted that no matter how he looks, he will be loved by people through his actions and ways of treating them. Moral:People will love us if we accept ourselves the way we are.
