25. The Clever Queen #Inspirational Moral Stories
Once, there was a queen. She had no children. 'Who will
look after my subjects when I am old and weak?' she thought. Then she had an
idea. "The children of this country will be given seeds. Whoever grows the
prettiest flower within two months will become the new prince or
princess," she announced. All the children planted the seeds and watered
them. Little Delilah too watered her seed and turned the soil in her pot, but even
after two months, there was no sign of a flower. All the children went to the queen
and showed her the flowers they had grown. With a heavy heart, Delilah told the
queen, "I couldn't grow a flower although I cared for it well." The
queen said, "The seeds that had been distributed were all cooked. No one
could have grown a flower with those seeds. This girl is honest. She shall be
my princess."
Moral of the Story: The moral of the story is that honesty and integrity are
valued qualities, and they can lead to unexpected rewards.
