The Golden Egg


Once upon a time, a farmer had a goose that laid a golden egg every day. The farmer used
to sell that egg and earn enough money to meet their family's day-to-day needs. One day,
the farmer thought that if he could get more such golden eggs and make a lot of money and
become a wealthy person. The farmer decided to cut the goose and remove all the golden
eggs from its stomach. As soon as they killed the bird and opened the goose’s stomach,
they found no eggs. The foolish farmer realized they had destroyed their last resource out
of greed.
Moral: Greed destroys your resource.

2. The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf


A shepherd boy in a village used to take his herd of sheep across the fields near the forest.
He felt this job was very dull and wanted to have some fun. One day while grazing the
sheep, he shouted, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is carrying away a lamb!" Farmers working in
the nearby fields came running for help but didn’t find any wolf. The boy laughed and
replied, "It was just fun. There is no wolf here".

The boy played a similar trick repeatedly for many days. After some days, while the
shepherd boy was in the field with the herd of sheep, suddenly, a wolf came out from the
nearby forest and attacked one of the lambs. The boy was frightened and cried loudly,
"Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is carrying a lamb away!" The farmers thought the boy was playing
mischief again. So, no one paid attention to him and didn’t come to his help.
Moral: No one believes a liar even if they speak the truth once.

3. Having a Best Friend: Friendship Moral Stories in English


Having a best friend by Shaikh Subuhi is one of the best friendship moral stories in English.
The story is about two friends who were walking through the desert. During the journey,
they argued over something, and one friend slapped the other. The one who got slapped
was hurt by this gesture of his best friend but did not react. He quietly wrote in the sand,
“Today my best friend slapped me.”

After some time, they found an oasis and started taking a bath in the lake. Suddenly, the
one who had been slapped started drowning. Then his friend came to his rescue and saved
him. After he recovered from the drowning, he engraved “Today my best friend saved my
life” on a stone.

The friend who had slapped earlier and later saved his best friend asked, “After I slapped
you, you wrote in the sand, and now, as I saved you, you write on a stone, why?” The other
friend replied, “I wrote in on sand because we should not keep the feeling of getting hurt
by someone for a long time. But, when someone does something good for us, we must
remember it forever like a message engraved on a stone that nothing can erase”.
