One day, a hungry jackal was looking for food in an old battlefield. Suddenly he heard a strange noise coming from a distance. He wondered what could be the source of that frightening noise. At first he decided to run away from there and save his life. Maybe it was a monster who was making such a loud noise. The jackal started running but then he suddenly stopped. He thought that it was unwise to run away without investigating the incident. He gathered courage and slowly walked towards the sound. When he reached very close to the sound, he hid behind a rock and peeped. The jackal saw a big drum lying near a tree. Due to a strong wind, the branches of the tree were rubbing against the drum and making that noise.The jackal had a hearty laugh at himself. He was happy to solve the mystery of the noise. He tore open the drum, thinking that perhaps there was some food inside it but was extremely disappointed to find nothing.

Once upon a time there was a shy and quiet octopus. He nearly always went about on his own because, although he wanted to have lots of friends, he was too self-conscious.One day, the octopus was trying to catch a very slippery oyster. Before he knew it, he had tied himself into one massive knot, and he couldn't move. He tried with all his strength to wriggle free, but it was no good. In the end, despite the great embarrassment he felt at being seen in such a tangle, he had to ask for help from the passing fish. Many fish swam past, ignoring him, but one very kind little fish offered to help to untie all those tentacles from all those suckers.The octopus felt heartily relieved when he was finally set free, but he was so shy that he didn't dare talk to the fish and make friends with him. He simply thanked the fish, and quickly swam off. Later, the octopus spent the whole night thinking that he had wasted a great opportunity to make friends with that very kind little fish.A couple of days later the octopus was resting between some rocks, when he noticed that everyone around was hurriedly swimming past. He looked into the distance and saw an enormous fish coming over to feed in that area. The octopus quickly hid; then, peeping an eye out from his hiding place, he saw that the huge fish was chasing the kind little fish who had untied him. That little fish really needed urgent help, but the big fish was so dangerous-looking that no one dared to go near. The octopus, remembering how the little fish had helped him, felt that he had to do whatever he could to come to his aid.Without hesitating, the octopus shot out from the rocks, like a ray. He put himself right in the path of the giant fish, and before the fish could do anything about it, the octopus had shot out the biggest jet of ink of his life. He grabbed the little fish, and swam off back to hide in the rocks. Everything happened so fast that the big fish had no time to react. However, he soon recovered from the surprise. Off he went to the rocks, looking for the octopus and the little fish. Now he really wanted to gobble them down!Soon, though, he began feeling a terrible itch; first in his gills, and then in his fins, and then all over his body. It turned out that this giant fish had a very artistic nature, he adored colours; and the octopus's dark ink had given him a terrible allergy!!So the big fish swam away, irritated all over.As soon as he was gone, all the fish who had been hiding came and congratulated the octopus for being so brave. Then the little fish told them all how he had helped the octopus a few days earlier, but he had never known anyone be so grateful that they would end up doing something so dangerous. Hearing this, the other fish discovered how nice the shy octopus was, and everyone around was keen to be the friend of such a brave and honourable octopus.Moral: Never leave an opportunity to show gratitude no matter how much difficult the situation seems.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

An octopus in trouble

Callipso Island was a beautiful island where leopards and cheetahs lived on opposite sides of the tall and long wall. Leila was a leopard cub. Leila was a leopard, but she wished she was a cheetah. The problem was, leopards did not like cheetahs and cheetahs did not like leopards. Cheetahs were rich and leopards were poor. Cheetahs had enough food to eat and lived in tree houses with rooftop swimming pools. Cheetah children had playgrounds with slides made of glass and swings that whirled you through waterfalls so it felt like you were flying with the birds. Leopards did not even have enough food to eat. Leopards were not allowed on the cheetahs’ side of the wall. Tigers and grown-up cheetahs guarded it. One morning Leila was very sad because it was her birthday and her mother was too poor to buy ingredients to bake a cake. She went to her olive tree and curled up at the top. Amidst the silence of the dawn, her tears sounded very loud. On the cheetahs’ side of the wall, a group of cheetah children played football by it. One of the cheetah heard Leila cry and looked up. “Why are you crying?” the cheetah asked. “It’s my birthday and I didn’t get any cake or presents because my parents don’t have any money.” “Happy birthday!” said the cheetah, kindly. “I will make you a present today at school.” “Thank you.” Leila said. “You are a nice cheetah. What’s your name?” “My name is Charlie. What’s your name?” “My name is Leila.” “Meet me here this evening after school,” said Charlie, and he galloped off with his football. That evening, Leila climbed her tree and wondered if Charlie would remember to bring her a present. Charlie came as promised. “Catch!” he said. A paper aeroplane came gliding through the air and Leila caught it in her paws. “Open it!” Charlie called. Leila opened the aeroplane and inside was a bunch of flowers that Charlie had threaded into a bracelet. The message said: ‘Happy birthday Leila. Love from Charlie’. Leila grinned from ear to ear. “Thank you!” she called back. Charlie then ran off because the police tigers had started to growl at him. Leila wore her new bracelet and returned home. Her father arrived home very late. He had missed her party. He said, “I travelled all day to pick you some strawberries from the strawberry bush but I could not find any as the weather was bad." Leila understood and hugged her dad. At twilight, a shimmering, silver glaze settled over the ocean. Leila liked to rest here. Her grandfather lay next to her. “Grandad, tell me about the olden days, when leopards and cheetahs were all friends on Callipso Island.” Leila said. Leila’s grandfather lit his pipe and began, “In the early days when I myself was a child, the cat kingdom existed in harmony. Leopards and cheetahs lived happily side by side on Callipso Island. “So what went wrong?” Leila asked. “The greedy tigers came from the other side of the ocean and paid the cheetahs in gold and silver to get all the antelopes for themselves. “The tigers and the cheetahs built the wall overnight and the cheetahs got to stay on good side of the island with all the antelope parks and the fruitful land. The leopards were given the bad, smaller and barren side of the island.” The next day, Leila's father climbed to the cheetah's side of the wall to get strawberries for her daughter. But as soon as he jumped to the other side, the tigers and the cheetahs guarding the wall pounced on him and injured him badly. Leila’s father limped back to his den and Leila and her mother spent the night licking his wounds better. Leila woke up early next morning and rushed to her safe space – the olive tree. She cried and cried and thought that last night was all her fault. “Why are you crying?” Charlie asked her. She told him all about the tigers and the cheetahs hurting the leopards. “Leila, I want to give you a cuddle but I can’t reach you.” Charlie said. He stood on the ground wondering how he could help. That night, Leila joined hundreds of leopards at the big wall and all the leopards prayed for the quick recovery of Leila’s father. Suddenly, they heard singing from across the wall, a beautiful melody carried in the calm wind. Leila climbed over the olive tree and saw rows of cheetahs. They were holding paws and their singing became louder. Leila spotted Charlie and Charlie saw Leila. He shouted up to the tree, “My friends and I were so angry about how the tigers hurt you all. This wall is silly. Leopards and cheetahs should be friends again. We told all our families and friends at school. And here we all are. BREAK DOWN THE WALL!” “Break down the wall!” all the cheetahs chanted. “We are all cats! We are all equal!” Leila called her leopard friends, “Come up here!” she cried. The leopards stood on top of the wall and held their paws together too, joining in the chanting. The leopards jumped over the wall and the cheetahs clapped and cheered in welcome. The tigers crawled away, back to the land they came from. Charlie took Leila on the swing and they swung through the waterfalls. He gave Leila the cuddle he had wanted to give her. It was the best party that Leila had ever had. And so this day became known as the day when the little cats broke down the wall. It was the bravery of cheetahs and leopards and their good hearts which finally brought peace to Callipso Island. Moral:Bravery in the face of injustice is bound to bring great changes.
