"The True Peace Within"

In a renowned art gallery, a competition was announced to find the world's most peaceful painting. Thousands of artists submitted their work for consideration. On the final day, 100 paintings were displayed, showcasing scenes of natural beauty, from serene rivers to rainbows and charming landscapes.


The judges faced a difficult decision as each painting seemed more beautiful than the last. However, when they unveiled the award-winning painting, it left the artists and the audience in shock. The painting didn't depict an outwardly peaceful scene, and many thought there had been a mistake.


But there was no mistake. The gallery owner stepped forward and asked, "Did you watch closely?" He saw something different in the painting—a storm, destruction, dark clouds. Yet, amidst this turmoil, there was a house with a small window. Behind that window stood a man, calmly smiling as he observed the storm without worry.


The gallery owner explained, "True peace isn't just about what's on the outside; it's about what's within. When you possess inner peace, you can face external storms without fear or anxiety."


Moral of the Story:


This story teaches us that true peace comes from within. It's not about the absence of external turmoil but the inner serenity and strength to face challenges with a calm heart. Inner peace allows us to find tranquility even amidst life's storms, and it reminds us that peace is a state of mind and heart, not just a reflection of our external circumstances.

Another vowed not to do Tommy's homework and promised to go to the teacher together if Tommy tried to force him. The plan was clear—they would stand together against Tommy's bullying. When the time came, the boys confronted Tommy as a united front, showing him that they were no longer afraid. Tommy attempted to push them harder, but in the process, he got a taste of his own medicine and was met with resistance. Moral of the S...

"The Wise Mouse and the Bouncy Tiger" Once upon a time, in a tranquil countryside, there lived a wise little mouse named Michael. He carried everything he needed on his back and was always happy and content. As he strolled along a dusty, winding road, he savored every breath of the fresh air and admired the rolling countryside. One day, out of nowhere, a lively tiger named Tony bounded onto the scene. Tony was full of energy and enthusiasm, and he approached Michael with an exciting proposition, "Hello, little mouse! I'm Tony the bouncy tiger. Do you want to race with me?" Michael, with his calm demeanor, replied, "Hello, Tony Tiger. I'm Michael Mouse, and I'm not in a hurry to race.

The dog kept watch over his house throughout the day, while the donkey carried the washermen's load to and from the riverside. One fateful night, as the washerman slept soundly, a thief sneaked into his house. The dog, unfortunately, was fast asleep and didn't bark to alert anyone. However, the donkey, although away from the house, saw the thief and realized the danger. In a bid to wake his master and raise an alarm, the donkey began to bray loudly.

Annoyed, he came out and started beating the donkey with a stick. However, in doing so, the washerman unwittingly saved his house from being robbed by scaring the t...
