Moral lessons for kids
Once upon a time, there was a Mama Bear who had a son named Little Bear. Although Little Bear was cute, he often did silly things.
One day, Mama Bear asked him to go buy a needle. After buying the needle, he met Little Pig on the way home. Little Pig was carrying a small basket full of bran. Little Bear asked Little Pig, “Where do you think I should put this needle?”
“Just put it in my basket,” said Little Pig.
So, Little Bear put the needle in his basket. When he got close to home, he wanted to take out the needle but couldn’t find it, so he went home empty-handed.
“Where is the needle?” Mama Bear asked.
“I put it in a basket full of bran, and then I couldn’t find it,” Little Bear replied.
“How could you be so foolish!” Mama Bear said. “You should have pinned the needle to your shirt sleeve; then you wouldn’t have lost it.”
Another time, Mama Bear asked her son to buy some oil. “Go quickly and come back soon!” she said.
Little Bear bought the oil and poured it into his shirt sleeve, then started walking home. As he walked, the oil kept dripping out. By the time he got home, only a little oil was left.
“Where is the oil?” Mama Bear asked.
“The oil spilled out, and only a little is left in my sleeve,” Little Bear said.
Mama Bear was furious and shouted, “You should have put the oil in a jar so that none of it would spill! Next time, do it that way.”
A few days later, Mama Bear asked her son to fetch a puppy from the neighbor’s house. Little Bear put the puppy in a jar and sealed the jar tightly. When he got home, Mama Bear asked, “Where is the puppy?”
“It’s in the jar,” Little Bear replied.
“Hurry and open it,” Mama Bear said anxiously.
When they opened the jar, the puppy had already suffocated! Mama Bear shouted again, “Hey, you silly little bear! You should have tied a rope around the puppy’s neck and told it to follow you.”
Another time, Little Bear went to buy some meat. After buying the meat, he tied it with a rope and dragged it behind him, saying, “Hurry up, follow me!”
Several dogs smelled the meat and chased after Little Bear, eating all the meat. By the time he got home, only a bone was left.
“Where is the meat?” Mama Bear asked.
“Here it is,” Little Bear replied.
“You are just a silly bear!” Mama Bear exclaimed. “Do you call this meat? It’s just a meat bone!”
“This is how you taught me to do it!” Little Bear complained.
Mama Bear felt heartbroken and said, “In the future, you need to use your brain more. For different tasks, you should use different methods.”
