Once there was a liar shepherd who tended his sheep by the side of a deep forest. To enjoy himself and to befool the people he shouted, “Tiger, tiger, please help me.” People would come running to help him. Then the shepherd would begin to laugh and say that he only played with them. Being disgusted the people would go back. Though the shepherd was a great liar. Many a time the shepherd did this trick. He enjoyed himself making fun with people. The villagers lost their faith upon the shepherd. One day a tiger really came and tore him to pieces. This time the shepherd cried out for help, but none came to help. He tried up the tree, but failed. The tiger attacked very swiftly and killed him. When the people found him as a dead body, they had nothing to do. I think that sometimes we ourselves create the tragedy in our life. Same thing happened in the shepherd’s life. If he didn’t tell a lie shouting ‘Tiger.’ People would come running and perhaps he might avoid the danger. So we should not tell a lie even for making a fun.

Once there was an old man who had five sons. The sons always quarreled among themselves and got separated. The old man was very unhappy. Soon he fell ill. He felt that his days were numbered. He called his sons beside his bed. He asked them to bring a bundle of sticks. They were surprised, still they brought it. The old man then told his eldest son to break the bundle. He tried, but failed. Similarly he asked the other four sons but no one succeeded. Then the old man told them to untie the bundle and gave a stick to sons and asked them to break it. Then all of them broke the stick easily. The sons got curious to know the reason of those activities. They all said to the father, “What have you made us do these jobs, dear father? What good will come of it? Then the wise father told his sons, “ Wait a bit, dear sons I am making it clear to you” The farmer then drew their attention to the tied bundle and the separate sticks. He clearly explained to them that they were like the sticks. If they remained separate and quarreled with one another, the enemy would easily defeat them. But if they remained united like the bundle in his absence, they would be much stronger and the enemy could not do any harm to them. He asked them to take a good lesson from that event. He strongly advised them to always remain united and not to quarrel among themselves anymore in future. At this the five sons could realize everything and promised to follow the advice of their father and learnt a great lesson as well as began to live together and happily.
