Bear and Bees - Jan
There were two Bears, Golu and Dolu. They were best friends. They often played together in the jungle. One day, both of them were playing catch a stone. As Dolu threw a stone for Golu to catch, it rolled away. Goluwandered a little far off from where they were playing to look for the stone. There, he saw a big Honey Bee hive. At first, he thought, “Wow, today me and Dolu will enjoy lots of honey.” But then, he felt greedy.
“I have found this Honey Hive, it belongs to me. Why should Dolu get a share? I will not tell him about it.”
Golu went back to Dolu and both went home. The next day, Golu got up early and went into the woods without telling Dolu. He began to search for the Bee hive, he had seen yesterday. Meanwhile, Dolu went to Golu's home and asked for Golu. Golu's mom told him that Golu had already left. Dolu was surprised. He went into the woods looking for his friend.
Meanwhile, Golu found the Bee hive. He made a plan to break the hive. Slowly, he tiptoed near the hive. But, as soon as Golu tried to break open the hive, all the honey bees attacked him. And since he was small and the honey bees large in numbers, he could not protect himself and the bees swarmed all over his face, biting him here and there. Golu closed his eyes, he could not see anything. He began to shout for help. At that time, Dolu reached him and dragged Golu to a cave nearby, away from all the bees, to save his life. Golu was very ashamed. He honestly admitted his mistake before Dolu. He asked for his forgiveness. Dolu forgave him and they both went home happy.
Moral: Greed is a curse.
