37. The Doll in the Backyard #Inspirational Moral Stories
Zita loved to play with dolls. One day, she couldn't find
her doll anywhere. She walked into the kitchen and asked her mother, "Have
you seen my doll?" "Zita, don't tell me you've lost it again. You are
quite careless," said her mother. Then Zita asked her grandmother about
it. "Sit quietly. Retrace your steps and you shall find it," said her
grandmother. Zita sat for a while and thought hard. 'Yesterday I was playing
with it at the dining table, but Mother said it's bad manners,' she thought to
herself. Then she thought some more. "I finished lunch and went to my
room. We had a tea party!" she exclaimed. Zita ran to her room and found
her doll, seated at a table, just as she had left her the day before. She
grabbed her doll and said, "There, I found you! I shall never be careless
again."
Moral of the Story: The moral of the story is to be responsible and organized
