HARDWORK PAYS (STORY)
Long ago, there were two big stones lying at the edge of the village. They were
lying in the same place from hundreds of years. They were bored of this existence
and wanted to do become something in their lives.
One day a sculptor came to the village in search of a stone to carve a sculpture.
His sight fell on these two stones. He examined them and decided to carve a
beautiful sculpture. He washed the stones and cleaned them. Both the stones
were excited that finally they are going to become something. He took out a nail,
hammer and other equipments and started to carve the first stone. The stone
could not take the pain of being sculpted. It did not cooperate at all. It became
very difficult for the sculptor to pierce the nail into the stone with his hammer. He
tried with nails and hammers of all sizes and intensity, but failed to carve. He
moved to the second stone and started the same procedure here. In the
beginning, the second stone also felt unbearable pain. But it made its mind firm
and stood stiff .It allowed the sculptor to carve however he wanted to. It took
some days for the sculptor to do his work. The stone stood bearing all the pains
and sustained all the grief. Finally, the sculptor made a marvelous idol from the
stone. . He called the villagers and showed it to them. The villagers also loved the
idol. They decided to build a temple for the idol. Soon, a lot of people together
worked day and night and built a beautiful temple and positioned the idol inside
it. Very soon, the talks about the beauty of the idol spread across hundreds of
miles. Thousands of devotees came and bowed in front of the idol. The stone
which was just lying of the ground without any special feature became an idol of
worship!
MORAL LESSON
This is a beautiful story that teaches kids that it is not possible to have great
results without putting in the effort. Often, that effort means sacrificing a lot of
things one enjoys such as TV time or sleep time or play time. But the key lesson
for kids here is that one has to go through pain if one wants to achieve
something.
