90. 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!
