Children's day special# Story time: Strong or Weak!!!
There was a proud teak tree in the forest, he was tall and strong, next to it there was a short herb tree. One day the teak tree said, 'I'm very tall and very strong, No one can destroy me'. Next listening to this the Herb answered, Dear friend too much pride is harmful, even the strong will fall down one day. The teak tree ignored the Herb words, he continued the same by praising himself. One day a strong wind blew and it was raining heavily, the teak tree stood firmly but the herb bowed low. The teak made fun and started laughing at the herb.
Later one fine day, there was a storm in the forest. The herb tree bowed low, as usual, the teak tree did not want to bow. The storm kept going stronger, the teak tree could no longer bear it. He felt his strength giving away. He fell down finally, this was the end of the proud tree.
When everything was calm the herb stood straight and looked around and saw the strong tree felt on the ground.
Moral: Too much pride is dangerous.
