#1 - A mouse digs a hole and finds a stump. He trades his treasure for a better one, exploiting the situation until he loses everything. Children and grownups alike will cherish this delightful tale that teaches us that we don't end up better off by taking advantage of others.
ਇਕ ਚੂਹੇ ਨੂੰ ਖੁੱਡ ਪੁੱਟਦਿਆਂ-ਪੁੱਟਦਿਆਂ ਮੁੱਢੀ ਲੱਭੀ। ਉਹਦੇ ਭਾਣੇ ਤਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਖ਼ਜ਼ਾਨਾ ਮਿਲ਼ ਗਿਆ। ਫੇਰ ਉਹਨੇ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਇਹ ਖ਼ਜ਼ਾਨਾ ਗਵਾ ਲਿਆ। ਇਹ ਬਾਤ ਪੜ੍ਹਦਿਆਂ-ਸੁਣਦਿਆਂ ਹਰ ਵੱਡੇ-ਛੋਟੇ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਨਸੀਹਤ ਮਿਲ਼ੇਗੀ ਕਿ ਕਿਸੇ ਦਾ ਹੱਕ ਮਾਰਨਾ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦੀ।
#2 - A snake abuses his powers and starts terrifying the village until Mother Nature orders him to behave himself. He complies, and now he is the one who gets abused. In the end, he learns to achieve balance and live with honor without instilling undue fear.
ਇਹ ਉਸ ਸੱਪ ਦੀ ਬਾਤ ਏ, ਜੋ ਅਪਣੇ ਪਿੰਡ-ਗਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਡਰਾਉਣ ਲਗ ਪਿਆ ਸੀ। ਕੁਦਰਤ ਰਾਣੀ ਨੇ ਉਹਨੂੰ ਅਕਲ ਤੋਂ ਕੰਮ ਲੈਣ ਲਈ ਆਖਿਆ। ਸੱਪ ਮੰਨ ਗਿਆ। ਪਰ ਫੇਰ ਲੋਕ ਉਹਨੂੰ ਤੰਗ ਕਰਨ ਲਗ ਪਏ। ਆਖ਼ਿਰਕਾਰ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਗਿਆਨ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਕਿ ਸੁੱਖ ਇਸੇ ਵਿਚ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਨਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਦਾ ਭੈਅ ਮੰਨੋ ਤੇ ਨਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਡਰਾਓ।
