 Mooshika and the Search for the Strongest Husband

Mooshika’s bridegroom
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a little mouse who was picked up by a hawk and carried away into the sky. The mouse struggled and managed to escape from the hawk's grasp but fell from a great height. By some stroke of luck, she landed safely in the palm of a sage who was bathing in the holy river Ganga.

The sage saw the frightened mouse and took pity on her. He decided to raise her as his own daughter and turned her into a beautiful girl by sprinkling some holy water on her and uttering some spells. The girl was named Mooshika and she grew up to be a strong and independent woman.

One day, her foster father, the sage, asked her to choose a husband. Mooshika declared that she wanted to marry the strongest person in the world, and she believed that it was Surya, the Sun. The sage summoned Surya, but he declined the proposal, stating that the Cloud King was even stronger than him.

Mooshika then decided that she wanted to marry Megha, the cloud, who had covered the Sun, making him invisible. However, Megha was afraid of Wind, as he would blow him away. Mooshika then turned to Wind, who claimed that he was the strongest of them all, but the only one who was not afraid of him was Mountain.

Mooshika then approached Mountain with a garland in hand, but the bridegroom winced in pain and fear. It turned out that a mouse was gnawing at the base of the Mountain, causing him to shake and almost fall. Mooshika hugged the mouse and turned into a mouse herself, and they ran away together.

The sage and Mountain were left to marvel at the fickle-mindedness of women, but Mountain couldn't help but feel grateful that the mouse had taken away his tormentor.

As the years went by, Mooshika and her mate had many little mouse babies, and they lived happily ever after. The sage and Mountain Peak continued to watch over them, hoping that they would never have to deal with such trouble again.

The moral of the story is that strength isn't always what it seems, and sometimes the smallest creatures can cause the most significant problems. It also teaches us not to judge a book by its cover, as Mooshika found her true love in the form of a tiny mouse.

As the baby mouse grew up, his mother was always concerned about his safety. She would tell him, "Do not go near the brook. You might drown, and I do not want to lose you."

He was always hungry and wished for an easy way to get food without having to go looking for it. As he sat there, he watched a cheetah attack a springbok that had wandered away from its herd. The hunter's heart filled with envy as he saw the cheetah drag its prize to a shaded clearing where three cheetah cubs were waiting. The hunter got an idea, an awful and rotten idea.

The hunter seized the opportunity and took all three of the cheetah's cubs, leaving not

The Greedy Bird - A Moral Kids Story The Greedy Bird Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there was a flock of birds that resided on the trees near a serene lake. The birds had a wise queen who ruled them with an iron fist. Every morning, the queen would divide the birds into groups and send them in different directions to find food for the flock. Each bird worked equally hard all day long to ensure the survival of the flock. Whenever a bird found food, she would promptly bring it back to the nest where the queen bird lived. If the food was too much for one bird to carry alone, she would inform the whole group, and they would carry it back to the nest together. Every evening, the queen bird would divide the food equally among all the birds, ensuring that no bird went hungry. One day, a young bird discovered a village where she saw many bullock carts carrying sacks of food grains from the fields to the nearby market. As the carts moved, she noticed that a lo
