The Monkey and Log - Moral story for kids

Once upon a time, in a lush jungle, there lived a curious little monkey. Every day, the monkey swung from tree to tree, exploring the jungle and having fun. One day, while playing near a river, the monkey spotted a long log floating in the water. It looked like a perfect bridge to cross to the other side.

Excited, the monkey hopped onto the log, thinking it would be an easy way to get across the river. But as soon as the monkey stepped on the log, it wobbled and tipped over. The monkey tried again, jumping higher, but the log kept tipping and spinning in the water.

Frustrated, the monkey climbed off the log and sat on the shore, thinking hard. After a moment, it came up with an idea. The monkey gently pushed the log toward the riverbank, using its hands and feet to steady it. This time, the monkey carefully crawled across the log, making sure to balance itself.

Slowly but surely, the monkey made it to the other side, proud of its effort. It realized that sometimes, rushing ahead doesn’t work. Patience and careful planning were the key to success.

Moral of the story : Sometimes, rushing do
esn't lead to success. Patience, careful planning, and steady effort help you reach your goal.
