97. The Wishing Game #Inspirational Moral Stories
Fairy Sybil went to the forest one day. It was her job to
make sure that everyone was happy and content. But no sooner did she fly by an
oak tree than it said, "I am not so flexible as a pine tree. I can be
uprooted easily." The pine tree was near by. Fairy Sybil asked the pine
tree whether it was happy. In response, it said, "What a pity! I can fall
easily too. I wish I was like the grapevine!" Then Fairy Sybil flew over
to the grapevine. She asked, ''Are you happy that someone wants to be like
you?" But the grapevine said, "No, I wish I was a rose shrub. How I
would have blossomed!" Fairy Sybil went to the rose shrub, which said,
"I'm happy to be me. I don't want to be anything else." Fairy Sybil
said, "You cannot become someone else. So, accept yourselves and be
happy."
Moral of the
Story: Be content with who you are, as constantly
wishing to be someone else or something else can lead to unhappiness.
