23. The Creaky Tree #Inspirational Moral Stories
Lola was a simpleton. One day, her sisters asked her to
sell their cow at the marketplace. There was a narrow path that led to the
marketplace. There was a tree near the path. It had no leaves. It was old and
it creaked with the wind. When Lola walked the narrow path, a sudden storm
arose. The wind howled fiercely and the tree creaked loudly. Lola asked the
tree whether it would buy the cow. The wind blew harder and the tree creaked
louder. Lola thought the tree had agreed. She tied the cow to the tree. "I'll
come for the money later," she cried, and hurried home. Lola's sisters
made fun of her foolishness. Next day, she went near the tree, but someone had taken
her cow. In anger, Lola cut down the tree. As luck would have it, she found a
treasure chest under the tree. She was rich!
Moral of the Story: The moral of the story is that sometimes, unexpected rewards
can come to those who are kind and considerate, even if they appear foolish to
others.
