The Sand Castle Challenge - StoryTime

MORAL STORY
Inspired by: The rabbit and the tortoise
Moral: Pride hath a fall

Once upon a time John went with his family to the beach where he found a bunch of kids building sandcastle by the shore. John also tries to build one but every time he did, the sand slipped away with the waves ruining his castle. The kids who found him copying what they were doing started mocking him on his failure to build a perfect castle and challenge him to make one before they complete theirs. John did not lose his will, but his sandcastle kept getting carried away by the sea waves. At last, he builds it at some distance and protects it with rocks and bricks. This time his sandcastle was small as compared to the other kids. When they all were ready to put flags on their castles, a gust appeared and destroyed the huge sandcastle of the kids. However, John’s sandcastle remained unharmed and protected.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Pride hath a fall. The pride of other kids ruined their sandcastle, as they thought they are doing it perfectly and were careless about the precautions they could take to save their sandcastle.
Slow and steady wins the race. Even though John was slow, at least he didn’t stop and kept trying using his mind to keep his sandcastle protected.

The Nazis had a belief that Jews, Roma ('gypsies'), black people and other ethnic groups were inferior to Aryans. Their elimination, he said, "mu...

His blurry vision could hardly make out the source of the commotion but soon realized that it was the shaman casting out the evil spirits. Suddenly a stinging smell of blood and raw meat burned the insides of his nostrils. As soon as he turned his face, what he saw was beyond his imagination. It was Genghis khan, the ruthless and vicious emperor and founder of the Mongolian Empire. Who would have known to be blood thirsty and tyrannical ruler for centuries? Tyranny reflected in his eyes. Even his eyes seemed like reptilian slits. His face was cold as ice as if the warmth of the sun had never reached it. While he stared into his soul, Genghis tore raw meat with his abnormally large canines. Blood oozing from it and eventually smeared all over his face. It became obvious, how ruthless the entire empire was. They had no reg...
