12. The Old Raincoat #Inspirational Moral Stories
Kathleen was
cleaning her garage one day, when she saw an old raincoat lying in a corner.
She wanted to throw it away at first. But when she looked at it carefully, she
saw that the raincoat was not torn. Just old. "It might be of use some
day. I shall keep it." Many days passed and Kathleen forgot all about the
raincoat. One morning, Kathleen was sitting on the veranda when she saw an old
sweeper walking through her neighbourhood, pushing a wheelbarrow. Then it
started to rain and Kathleen felt sad for the old sweeper. 'Poor dear! His clothes
are not enough to protect him from the rain,' she thought. Just then, she
remembered the old raincoat lying in the garage. She rushed to the garage to
get the raincoat. Then she ran outside and gave it to him. The old sweeper
thanked her. Kathleen thought, 'Nothing is ever useless.'
Moral of the Story: The moral of the story is that even old or seemingly useless
things can have value and purpose when they are used to help others in need. It
teaches us about the importance of kindness and generosity.
