LITTLE BROTHER, LITTLE SISTER #Inspirational Moral
Stories
A small
boy and girl, who had a cruel witch for a stepmother, ran away from
her into
the forest. After running for long, the brother felt thirsty. The boy
was
about to quench his thirst from a spring, when the witch whispered in the
girl’s
ears: ‘Whoever drinks from here will become a fawn!’ The sister turned
to stop
her brother. But it was too late! He had turned into a fawn! Weeping,
the girl
led the fawn into the forest. Finding an empty cottage, they began to
live
there.
One day,
the fawn wandered far. The king, who had gone hunting, saw the
fawn and
chased it. Frightened, the fawn ran inside its cottage. The king
entered
the cottage and saw a beautiful girl tenderly stroking the fawn. Struck
by her
beauty, the king sought her hand in marriage. The girl was so
overjoyed
that she started crying. One tear fell on the fawn beside her,
breaking
the evil spell on him. He turned into her brother again! The king
took
them to his palace. He soon married the girl. And they all lived happily
thereafter.
