74. The Man who Ate Grass #Inspirational Moral Stories
Roxie was driving home from work. On the way, she saw a man
eating grass. She stopped her car and asked him, "Why are you eating
grass?" The man said, "Because I don't have any money for food."
Roxie said, "Oh, is it so? Then you should come with me to my house. I
shall feed you." The man said, ''Are you sure? I also have a wife and two
kids." Roxie said, "Go ahead! Bring them along with you." Soon,
the man and his family got into Roxie's car. The man said, "You are so
kind. Thanks for taking us home with you." Roxie replied with a smile,
"You'll enjoy staying in my garden, where the grass is a few feet high."
The man realised that Roxie was trying to teach him a lesson. He decided to start
working from that day onwards to provide for his family.
Moral of the Story: The story teaches us the importance of self-reliance and the
need to work for one's livelihood rather than depending on others.
