Suddenly, two frogs in the group accidentally fell into a deep pit.The other frogs worried about their friends in the pit.Seeing how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that there was no way they could escape the deep pit and that there was no point in trying.They continued to constantly discourage them as the two frogs tried to jump out of the pit. But keep falling back.Soon, one of the two frogs started to believe the other frogs — that they’ll never be able to escape the pit and eventually died after giving up.The other frog keeps trying and eventually jumps so high that he escapes the pit. The other frogs were shocked at this and wondered how he did it.The difference was that the second frog was deaf and couldn’t hear the discouragement of the group. He simply thought they were cheering him on!Moral of the story: People’s opinion of you will affect you, only if you believe it to be so. It’s better to believe in yourself. <h3>5. The Milkmaid and Her Pail</h3><img src="https://bee-assets-production.s3.amazonaws.com/image/the_milkmaid_and_her_pail.jpg_image_1638189037353.jpg" width="348">There was once a milkmaid named Patty.She milked her cow and carried the two pails of milk she fetched on a stick and set out to sell the milk at the market.As she was walking to the market, she began to daydream about what she would do with the money she fo for the milk.She thought of buying a hen and selling its eggs and she planned on becoming wealthy.She dreamt of buying a cake, a basket of strawberries, a fancy dress, and even a new house with the money she would make selling the eggs and the milk!In her excitement, she forgot about the pails she was carrying and began to skip.Suddenly, she realised that the milk was spilling down and when she checked her pails, they were empty.Moral of the story: Don’t count your chickens before they hatch! It is important to focus on the process of achieving success and not just success alone. <h3>6. The Elephant Circus</h3><img src="https://bee-assets-production.s3.amazonaws.com/image/elepahnt_circus.jpg_image_1638189224771.jpg" width="361">Once upon a time in a circus, five elephants performed circus tricks. They were kept tied up with weak rope that they could’ve easily escaped, but did not.One day, a man visiting the circus asked the ringmaster: “Why haven’t these elephants broken the rope and run away?”The ringmaster replied: “From when they were young, the elephants were made to believe that they were not strong enough to break the ropes and escape.”It was because of this belief that they did not even try to break the ropes now.Moral of the story: Don’t give in to the limitations of society. Believe that you can achieve everything you want to!<h3> </h3>7.

But then, they agreed to take a different route.Not so long after, the mice heard that hunters had caught the herd of elephants and were tied in nets.Immediately, they rush to rescue the elephants. They gnawed through the nets and ropes with their sharp teeth.The leader of the elephants repeatedly thanked the mice for their help!Moral of the story: A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Diwali, the festival of lights, is widely celebrated in our country. With the entire nation glowing brightly with lights and people celebrating the festivities together, it is a wonderful time for everyone.Parents interact with each other, children burst crackers, and there is happiness all around. However, children may get bored after a point, hence you will need something to keep them engaged. So, we have some amazing Diwali activities and games for children to play this Diwali and make it a memorable one.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quiz Time: If your house is buzzing with relatives and their children, it is a good time to get all the children busy by making them participate in a quiz. Pick certain topics about <a href="https://www.beeparenting.com/s/diwali-gk---qna" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Diwali Quiz</a> and they will enjoy them. You can divide the children into two teams and let each team quiz each other. Make sure you keep prizes for everyone so that nobody is sad about Diwali.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jewellery Making: Instead of giving your children actual gems and precious items, let them pick some household items such as pasta covers, beads, and other essential things. Ask them to paint these items using and then sprinkle glitter. Allow them to turn those raw items into great jewellery pieces. These jewellery items can go with their festive wear and on other special occasions as well.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Paper Firecrackers: Although crackers are something that children look forward to on Diwali, it is important to make them realize the negative effects of the crackers on the environment. Engage them in craft activities where you help them create rockets and firecrackers out of colourful paper, decorate them, and hang them or stick them on a wall for a festive look.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rangoli Art: Although rangoli is traditionally done by girls and women, let’s evolve in modern times and include all children to try out their hand at it. Give them some specific designs that they have to make in different areas of the house or provide them with a printable worksheet and ask them to decorate with different craft materials and colour them, which would be supervised by older children. Later on, let them unleash their creative best and come up with some beautiful ways to enhance their creativity.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diya Painting: Diwali is a festival of lights and is incomplete if your house is not illuminated with the diyas all around. This Diwali, let those diyas not be bland and allow your children to paint those diyas with colours of their choice. Make use of watercolours, paints, and everything at your disposal to provide the little ones with the tools to deck up those simple diyas.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diwali Stories: Narrating the story of Lord Rama’s win over evil and his triumphant return to his people in Ayodhya, can be a good story to play. Let the children showcase their talent during the Diwali celebrations and get over their ‘stage-fright (in case they have any!)7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Musical Chairs: The simplicity of the game might make you feel like a weird addition for a festive occasion such as Diwali, but when you have siblings, relatives, and friends at one place, any game is fun. Let children play separately or mix them up with adults as well.
