Once in a village there was a girl named Lila, she was loved a lot by her parents and was given everything when she asked for anything. Since Lila was their only childher parents never punished her for any wrong thing she did, so she became careless and she used to causetrouble for others. She used to knock on other people doors for fun and run away, she used to steal fruits from other people trees. In her school she used to hide her friends’ books, lunch boxes and other things and she used to cause trouble for her teachers. Her neighbors, friends and teachers complained about her to her parents but she never improved because her parents never punished her.
One dayher parents were going out, so before going out they told her, “Lila stay home till we come back and don’t cause any trouble”, but after her parents went away, she said to herself, “Let’s roam alone and have some fun”. Lila decided to roam around the village and since it was the season of mangoes decided to see if see could find a tree where there were no people around so that see could steal the mangoes.
Lila began wondering and after spending some time searching for a mango tree, she found one near a house where the people of the house were sleeping. She planned to steal the mangoes without making any noise so that the people in the house don’t wake up. She tried to climb the tree but could not reach the mangoes, so after her failed attempts she decided, “let’s throw stones and collect the mangoes”. Unfortunately, there was a honey comb on of the branches and the stone Lila threw hit the comb. The honey bees started to attack her and the people in the house and she started screaming for help, hearing the screams people in the neighborhood gathered and the people caused smoke to drive away the honeybees. Luckily the honeybees went away but Lila and the house owners were bit by the bees and were taken to the doctor. After the incident everyone was angry with her and her parents scolded her and explained to her the consequences of her action and the troubled,she had caused. Lila understood her mistake, she learnt that even small misdeeds can cause trouble and pain for others. From that day she decided she will behave in a good way and not cause any trouble for others. Because of the change in her behavior over the time the people of the village started loving her. Because of this change her parents were happy and proud of her.
Moral: We should always behave in a responsible manner and not cause any trouble for others because bad actions can have severe consequences.
