Buck and Doe

The Buck’s Infatuation

Once upon a time, in a jungle lived a buck and a doe and many other animals. The doe was very pretty with smooth red-brown fur, a white tail, and large, brilliant eyes. She was roaming in the forest one day when a young buck unexpectedly caught sight of the doe and became fascinated with her. He got so attracted to her that he started to fall in love with her.

The buck stayed around the doe and went everywhere she did. The buck began following the doe while appreciating her appearance. The doe and the buck were observed by a group of fairies who lived in the forest. The fairies used to see the buck be so infatuated by her that he did not care about anything else but the doe did not seem to show interest in him.

The Buck Followed

Despite the hazards it could face, the buck one day saw the doe head to the city and he started following her like he always did. After walking for a distance when they reached the city, the doe noticed a man waiting ahead as she was moving. The doe had figured out that the man was on a hunt and could have planned an animal trap to catch them.

She was afraid of falling into the trap and becoming trapped. The clever doe did not want to risk her life so she did not go ahead, instead, the doe decided to let the hunter kill the buck. So she stopped and made the buck go first. Then, a few minutes later she saw the buck get trapped and killed by the hunter and ran away. The fairies who had seen the buck’s obsession with the doe assumed the doe was to blame for his death. It was the buck's obsession that killed it, according to one of the smartest fairies.

Moral of the Story 

At first, infatuation might make one feel very happy, but it ultimately brings you harm. It is rightly said that attraction is a false feeling because in the case of the buck, he got attracted by the charms of the doe but the doe did not show any feelings of interest to him.

He blindly followed her to death for which she was responsible. She ended up doing badly with him. So we should never trust anyone blindly and not get infatuated by anyone easily.

The Tiger and the Woodpecker Story

Once upon a time, there lived a fierce tiger. He ruled over the forest and as his carnivore nature hunted his prey. One day, he was feeling very hungry. He looked around for prey and soon enough found prey and hunted it.

 

As he started munching on his food he felt something stuck in his throat. He felt soring pain in his throat, he then soon realised that a bone was stuck in the throat as he was eating his prey. He tried very hard to get the bone removed from his throat but he was unable to do so.

Many days passed by, the tiger did not hunt nor could drink water because of the bone stuck in his throat. He was very weak and starving. The tiger thought to himself that he might die that day, and he collapsed on the ground. As he fell on the ground with his mouth open, a woodpecker saw it.

Removing the bone from tiger’s throat

The tiger sighed in relief. The next day the tiger hunted the prey and the bird flew in to ask for his share. The tiger then replied that he would not share his wood. He thought what can a pesky little bird do to the fierce carnivore.

The woodpecker was angry and reminded the tiger of the promise he made. “You should be thankful that I did not eat you little bird.” the tiger said. Hearing it the bird got angry and pecked in one of his eyes. The tiger was hurt and then understood the power that the bird held. The woodpecker replied “You should be thankful that I did not peck your other eye. You should learn to keep your promise” the bird replied and flew away from the tiger.

Moral of the Story

The tiger and the woodpecker story is a short story, the moral of the story is that every action has a consequence. If we treat others kindly we will receive kindness whereas if we are hurtful and deceiving to the people around us we might also end up getting hurt and deceived like the tiger.

In the conclusion of the story, “we reap what we sow”. We hope that the tiger story will help kids to understand the importance of their actions. The story also helps to teach kids that one must not be arrogant because of power as we have seen in the story the tiger ended up getting hurt by the bird who was very small compared to the tiger.

Animals in the Jungle

 

Introduction to the Animal Stories

Animal stories for kids attract and spark the interest of their curious minds. Storytelling can be used to teach children about numerous areas of life. While some messages are straightforward and simple to understand, others are more complex and cannot be delivered directly.

Animals enable authors to deliver a dramatic story while maintaining emotional distance, according to science. Let us look at the powerful stories on Animals in this topic.

The Animal Stories

Baby Camel And His Mother

This is a good animal moral story to read with your children. Once upon a time, a baby camel lived with her mother. The baby camel was deep in thought one wonderful day as they lay on the ground. When the mother camel asked what was wrong with her, the baby camel remained silent.

When the baby camel couldn't take it any longer, she inquired, "Why do camels have humps?" the next day. "Well, because we are desert animals, the humps let us store water for several days, so we can survive without water," the mother explained with a smile.

The Baby Camel and His Mother

"Why do camels have long legs and rounder feet?" the newborn camel inquired. "These are made for walking in the hot desert," the mother responded. The camels' long legs and rounded feet make it easier for them to walk in the desert than anyone else!" "Mother, why do we have long eyelashes?" the inquisitive baby camel asked once more. It hurts my vision at times." "My dear kid, these long, thick eyelashes are your protective shield," Mother camel said proudly. They assist us in protecting our eyes from the sand and wind of the desert."

"Oh, I see," Baby Camel remarked after some thought. What in God's name are we doing here in the Zoo if the hump helps us store water while we're in the desert, the legs are for going through the desert, and these eyelashes protect our eyes from the desert?" Mother camel was speechless this time.

The Owl and The Lion

This is one of the best children's jungle animal stories. Once upon a time, the jungle was home to a large, ferocious lion. He bullied every other animal because he was strong. Because of the lion, the animals could no longer dwell in harmony. As a result, they convened a conference to discuss how to stop the lion from disturbing them.

"We have to get rid of this lion!" exclaimed a hare. "I believe we need to select a champion among us to go teach him a lesson," says the group. The animals shouted and cheered, but the tiger refused entry, the elephant whistled, and the rhino read his book. No animal would voluntarily attack a lion.

Until an owl appeared and said, "Do not be afraid, my friends!" "I'll take on the lion!" Some of the animals were pleased. Some people felt the owl was crazy. They accepted because no one else offered. The word got around that the owl would confront the lion at his den the next morning. When the lion learned of the news, he burst out laughing.

The Owl and The Lion

As a result, the lion was fully awake at sunrise the next day, waiting for the owl. All of the other animals were present, but the owl was not. The minutes, the hours, and the days passed with no trace of the owl! When the sun began to set and all of the animals began to return home, the owl finally appeared.

The lion shouted, "Why are you so late?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Lion!" said the owl. "However, on my way there, I came across a massive lion and was scared of him." I had to wait till he was asleep before I could come here! Oh, I'm pleased I'm fighting you instead of him!" The lion was stunned by what he was hearing. He wondered aloud, "Is there a lion stronger than me?" He demanded, "Take me to that lion right now."

As a result, the owl led him to a deep well nearby. "He went inside the last time I saw him!" said the owl. Inside the well, the lion crept in and roared as loudly as he could. Naturally, his own reflection shouted back, magnified by the echo. The roar was five times louder this time!

The stupid lion was so terrified that he ran as quickly as he could, never to be seen again. "BEING SMART IS WHAT MAKES US STRONGER!" the owl proved once more.

Moral of the Story

Being smart always makes us stronger.

The Crows and The Oyster

This is one of the better animal stories for kids. Two crows lived near a woodland a long, long time ago. One of them was simple, while the other was cunning. The crafty crow has a habit of tricking the trusting crow. The honest crow, on the other hand, was always willing to assist the cunning crow.

One day, the honest crow was very hungry and was roaming in search of food. On the shore, the bird discovered an oyster. In order to eat the tasty meat inside, he needed to break open the item. He tried over and over, but the oyster refused to open.

The Crow and The Oyster

He then tried to extract the flesh with his large beak, but he was unable to open the shell. He then slammed a stone against the oyster, but it stayed completely shut. The oyster refused to open no matter how hard he tried.

"My dear friend, the oyster will not open the manner you are trying," another smart crow said as he flew by. I suggest that you soar high into the air with the oyster in your beak and then drop it on the rocks below. Only then will it crack open."

The hungry crow was impressed by the concept and decided to follow the advice. The oyster broke open as soon as the crow dropped it from above, as the bird flew up with it. The other smart crow, on the other hand, lifted it up and ate the meat within.

By the time the first crow arrived, all he could see were broken shell pieces. It was the only option available to him.

Moral of the Story

Do not trust people on their face value.
