Beautiful Poem:
The Morning's Gentle Kiss
The sun awakes with golden grace,
And paints the world with soft embrace.
A gentle breeze begins to sigh,
As sleepy clouds drift slowly by.
The birds begin their cheerful song,
Where they have rested all night long.
A dewdrop gleams on every leaf,
A tiny jewel, pure and brief.
So step into this brand new day,
Let worries softly fade away.
With open heart and spirit bright,
Embrace the morning's gentle light.
Short Moral Story:
The Honest Woodcutter
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled by a flowing river, lived a poor but honest woodcutter. Every day, he would go to the forest to cut wood, which he would then sell in the market. One day, while cutting wood near the riverbank, his axe slipped from his hand and fell into the deep water.
The woodcutter was distraught. He had no other axe, and without it, he couldn't earn a living. As he sat weeping by the river, the River God appeared before him. "Why are you crying, my son?" asked the River God.
The woodcutter explained his misfortune. The River God, feeling pity, dived into the water and soon emerged with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" he asked.
"No, sir," replied the honest woodcutter. "My axe was made of iron."
The River God dived again and returned with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?" he inquired.
"No, sir," said the woodcutter, shaking his head. "Mine was a simple iron axe."
For the third time, the River God dived and brought out an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" he asked.
"Yes! Yes, this is my axe!" exclaimed the woodcutter, his face brightening with joy.
The River God was deeply impressed by the woodcutter's honesty. He smiled and said, "Because of your truthfulness, I will reward you. Take all three axes – the golden, the silver, and your own iron axe. They are all yours."
The woodcutter was overjoyed and thanked the River God profusely. He returned to his village, and from that day on, he lived a prosperous life, always remembering the value of honesty.
Moral of the story: Honesty is the best policy and is always rewarded.
