The Oak and the ReedsOnce upon a time, there was a large, strong oak tree and a group of reeds growing nearby. The oak tree was proud of its strength and stature, while the reeds were humble and lowly.One day, a fierce storm blew in and uprooted the oak tree. The reeds, however, were able to bend with the wind and remain standing. When the storm passed, the oak tree lay defeated, while the reeds remained standing tall and proud.Moral of the story: pride and arrogance are often our undoing. Modesty and humility are key to overcoming life's challenges.The Tortoise and the HareIn a forest, there lived a tortoise and a hare. The hare was fast and agile, while the tortoise was slow and steady. They often boasted about their respective qualities.One day, they decided to have a race. The hare confidently agreed, thinking himself sure to win. The race began, and the hare quickly dashed ahead.But as the hare ran, he got cocky and began to boast about his speed. Meanwhile, the tortoise plodded along, never losing sight of the finish line.When the hare finally reached the finish line, he was shocked to see the tortoise already there, waiting for him. The tortoise had won the race - not because of speed, but because of patience, determination, and focus.Moral of the story: Slow and steady wins the race. Pride and arrogance can often be our undoing.
