29. The Complainer #Inspirational Moral Stories
Gussie always had something to complain about. When her
mother asked her to help with household chores, she would complain that she had
a headache. At other times, her legs ached. When she was asked to study, she
would complain that her stomach ached. She complained so much that everyone
forgot her name and called her 'The Complainer'. One day, when Gussie
complained, as usual, her father said, "Come; let's go to the hospital
today." Gussie was happy because she wanted to be a doctor. At the
hospital, the doctor took her to the children's ward, where she saw many
children, who were suffering from different illnesses. Yet, no one complained.
All they wanted was to be well again, so they could study and play. Gussie
learnt her lesson. She was thankful for all the good things she had. She was
always cheerful and everyone started calling her by her name.
Moral of the Story: The moral of the story is that we should be thankful for our
health and the good things we have rather than complaining about minor
discomforts.
