 Bible Parables: Morale story for Kids (Project Aakaar)  Rich Fool (Luke 12:16-21) Once upon a time there was a certain rich man who had a very big farm. There was a great harvest that year and his workers gathered lots of grain. -"How blessed I am! I am Rich!"-exclaimed this rich man. Suddenly one of his workers came to him: - "Sir, you've had such a good harvest. Can you spare a few bags of grain for our families?" -"No, I have to keep all I have for myself!" He thinks: -"But what shall I do? The harvest was so great that I have no room to store it in my barns. -Oh, no!! I may have to give some away! -Aha! I know what I'll do! …-I will pull down my old barns... -...and I will build  bigger  barns!....  -I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many riches stored up for many years. Take it easy, eat, drink, and be merry!"; But God said to him. You fool! Tonight you will die! Then what are you going to do with all those thin

Inspirational Stories from Mahabharata for Kids (Project Aakaar)  Story of Eklavya When Guru teaches his disciples he teaches them equally. That knowledge which he imparts to them is like clear water, whatever color you mix in it, water becomes of the same color. So the weapons are the same - Gadaa, or bow or sword, but when they are in different disciples' hands they take a different meaning, such as Gadaa is same, but when Bheem will take it, it will have different meaning, but when Duryodhan will take it, it will have a completely different meaning. Then what Guru can do? One day a child named Eklavya came to Drone and requested him to be his Guru for archery. Drone asked him - "Who are you?" Eklavya siaid - "I am Eklavya, the son of Hiranyadhanu, the king of Nishaad." Drone wouldn't take him as his disciple because he was not a Kshatriya, so he said - "Dear child, I cannot take you as my disciple because I am teaching to these Kshatriya pr

Inspirational Stories from Jataka Tales for Kids (Project Aakaar)  The Young man who sold the dead mouse Once on a time when Brahmadatta was reigning in Benares in Kasi, the Bodhisatta was born into the Treasurer's family, and growing up, was made Treasurer, being called Treasurer Little. A wise and clever man was he, with a keen eye for signs and omens. One day on his way to wait upon the king, he came on a dead mouse lying on the road ; ] and, taking note of the position of the stars at that moment, he said, "Any decent young fellow with his wits about him has only to pick that mouse up, and he might start a business and keep a wife."  His words were overheard by a young man of good family but reduced  circumstances, who said to himself, "That's a man who has always got a reason for what he says." And accordingly he picked up the mouse, which he sold for a farthing at a tavern for their cat. With the farthing he got molasses and took drinking water in

 Inspirational Stories from Quran for Kids  (Project Aakaar) Story 1. A Lesson from Disabled People Once, a visitor was being shown around a leper colony in India. The colony was built to provide a shelter for those people who were poor and had various physical disabilities. At noon a gong (a metal disk that produces a sound when hit with a hammer) sounded to gather the inhabitants for the midday meal. People came from all parts of the compound to the dining hall. Suddenly, everyone started laughing at seeing two young men; one riding on the other's back, pretending to be a horse and a rider. They were having lots of fun. As the visitor watched, he was told that the man who carried his friend was blind, and the man being carried was lame (who couldn't walk). The one who couldn't see used his feet; the one who couldn't walk used his eyes. Together they helped each other and reached their destination. Let us use each other's strengths to make up for the weakness
