58. The Role Model #Inspirational Moral Stories
Once there was a crow who did not want to be a crow. 'I
want to be like someone else,' he thought. He flew around, searching for a role
model. But he couldn't find anyone. He decided to rest on the branch of a tall
tree near a mountain. It was then that he spotted an eagle swooping down. The
eagle caught a rat in his beak and soared high, back to his nest. 'That's who I
want to be,' thought the crow. He said to the eagle, "Please take me as
your disciple. I want to be like you." The eagle said, "Go away. I
cannot teach you to be like me." But the crow was adamant. He tried to
copy the eagle's moves. He swooped down, but lost control and hit his beak hard
on the ground. The crow learnt the hard way not to copy anyone again.
Moral of the
Story: The story teaches us the importance of being
content with who we are and not trying to imitate others without understanding
the challenges and abilities that come with their roles.
