LITTLE TUK #Inspirational Moral Stories
A little
Spanish boy, Tuk, was studying geography one afternoon, but also
had to
look after Wenche, his little sister, who wanted to play. After juggling
for long
between play and study, he found Denmark’s geography very
complicated!
He put his geography book beneath his pillow before he slept,
for he’d
heard that this was the best way of learning lessons! Climbing into
his bed,
he fell asleep. But his book seemed to move about under his pillow,
scratching
him. Tuk was not in bed now, but on a splendid white horse, as a
magnificently
dressed knight wearing a helmet with plumes, held him in
front.
They galloped on and on. Fascinatingly, he saw every city of Denmark
appear
before him, and the knight told him the history of each.
At dawn,
Tuk scrambled out of bed, and began to read his book again, when
he
suddenly felt he knew everything! Remembering the knight, he said:
‘Thanks,
my friend,’ with a smile on his lips and a song in his heart.
