TOM THUMB #Inspirational Moral Stories
A poor
woodcutter’s wife wanted a child very badly and wished to have a
son,
even if he was as tall as her thumb. Her wish came true! The parents
named
him Tom Thumb. He was very clever. Once, his mother could not go
to fetch
his father, so Tom Thumb took the cart. He climbed right up to the
horse’s
ear, telling it where to go. People could not see him, and thought that
the
horse was very intelligent! Hearing of this, a circus owner wanted to buy
the
horse but found that it was Tom Thumb who had been guiding it. Now, he
wanted
to buy the little boy. His father couldn’t think of selling his son, but
Tom
Thumb said: ‘Father, we need the money; so sell me, and I’ll set matters
right.’
His father did that. And soon, the tiny Tom Thumb ran back to his
home,
unseen by anyone!
