6. JAMES THE SIMPLETON
#Inspirational Moral Stories
James was a
good-natured simpleton. Once, he was having lunch at a friend’s
house, when his
parents and two brothers ate poisonous mushrooms by
mistake and fell
very sick. His father was unable to move, so he told James to
go quickly to the
pharmacy and get a strong medicine for stomach upsets, a
dose for four
people. He made James repeat his instructions, and then hurry.
His parents and
brothers kept waiting, but James did not turn up. His father
was worried for
James was quite silly. Feeling a bit better, he went to the
pharmacy. On the
way, he found James, doubling up in great pain and
cradling his
stomach. When he asked what had happened, James said that as
told, he had got the
four doses, and eaten them all!
