JACK AND THE COMET #Inspirational Moral Stories
Jack
fared poorly at studies but he was well-intentioned, and keenly
interested
in everything. When his school teacher told them about comets,
Jack
asked when would a comet appear. The teacher said: ‘It’s come already.
Haven’t
you seen it?’
Jack
replied that he hadn’t and asked how he could see it. His teacher told
him that
he could see it that very night by going into his vegetable garden.
The next
morning, when his teacher asked Jack if he had seen the comet, Jack
replied
that though he’d gone out at night to his vegetable garden, he could
not see
the comet. The teacher thought perhaps Jack had not looked properly,
but he
insisted that he’d searched hard and for long. The astonished teacher
asked
where he had looked for it. Jack replied that he had looked everywhere,
in the
cabbage patch, between rows of beans, and even under the trees! But
then, he
reasoned that he could not see it, probably as he had forgotten to
light
his lantern!
