Once there was a small notorious shepherd. He once thought of a mischief and started to scream "Wolf! Wolf!! Save me! Save me!!" And just in few minutes whole the village gathered to help him. To the surprise of the villagers there was no wolf and the boy was laughing on them. Next day the shepherd again played the same mischief. The villagers shouted at the shepherd and warned him not to play such pranks again. After some days when the shepherd was in the jungle he saw a wolf and started to scream out of fear. The villagers heard his screams but did not go to help him thinking it as another mischief. The result was that wolf ate all his sheep.

Once there was a lark singing in the forest. A man came by with a box full of worms. The lark stopped him and asked" What do you have in the box and where are you going?" The farmer replied that he had worms and that he was going to trade them for some feathers. The lark said "I have many feathers. I will pluck one and give it to you and that will save me looking for worms." The farmer gave worms to the lark and the lark plucked a feather and gave it in return. The next day the same thing happened and the day after and on and on until a day came that the lark had no more feathers. Now it couldn't fly and hunt for worms. It started looking ugly and stopped singing and very soon it died.

Moral of the story-
Do you want to sell your wings for petty worms? Identify your strengths and never ever weaken them at any cost.

A biology teacher was teaching his students how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. He told the students that in the next couple of hours, the butterfly would struggle o come out of the cocoon, but no one should help the butterfly. Then he left.

The students were all waiting and it happened. The butterfly struggled to get out of the cocoon, and one of the students took pity on it and decided to help the butterfly out of the cocoon against the advice of his teacher. He broke the cocoon to help the butterfly so it dint have to struggle anymore. But shortly afterwards the butterfly died.

When the teacher returned, he was told what happened. He explained to his student that by helping the butterfly, he had actually killed it because it is a law of nature that the struggle o come out of the cocoon actually helps develop and strengthen its wings. The boy had deprived the butterfly of its struggle and the butterfly died.
