THE MISADVENTURES OF TOM THUMB #Inspirational Moral
Stories
When Tom
Thumb was escaping from the circus, he hid inside some hay in a
stable.
The farmer’s wife picked up the hay to feed the cows, and Tom
Thumb
awoke to find himself in a cow’s stomach! As the cow took in more
hay, Tom
Thumb cried out: ‘Stop crushing me!’ The farmer’s wife couldn’t
believe
her ears! When her husband heard the strange voice, he thought it
was an
evil spirit and killed the cow. The cow was gobbled up by a wolf,
with Tom
Thumb inside! He persuaded the wolf to go to his home, saying
that it
would find plenty of meat there! When they had reached, he began
yelling
at the top of his voice. His father heard him. Killing the wolf, he
brought
his son out. The repentant father told Tom Thumb: ‘For not all the
world’s
gold, will I ever sell you again.’ And he kept his word.
