10 Lines Short Stories With Moral Lessons for Kids

Moral Lessons, Most Popular

When trying to impart an important moral lesson to kids, short stories are often the go-to for most parents. It not only tickles their imagination, but it also teaches them about life.

Short stories have a way of teaching lessons that makes them more relatable and interesting. Rather than just telling your kid not to lie, relating a short story about it helps them understand what happens when they lie. It helps them become more aware of their actions and their consequences. The moral lessons from these stories also help shape their character and moral compass as they grow old.

Here are 10 short stories with moral lessons that your kids (and even some adults) will learn a thing or two from:

1. The Hare and the Tortoise

There was once a hare who was friends with a tortoise. One day, he challenged the tortoise to a race. Seeing how slow the tortoise was going, the hare thought he’ll win this easily. So he took a nap while the tortoise kept on going. When the hare woke up, he saw that the tortoise was already at the finish line. Much to his chagrin, the tortoise won the race while he was busy sleeping.

Moral of the story:

There are actually a couple of moral lessons we can learn from this story. The hare teaches that overconfidence can sometimes ruin you. While the tortoise teaches us about the power of perseverance. Even if all the odds are stacked against you, never give up. Sometimes life is not about who’s the fastest or the strongest, it’s about who is the most consistent.

2. The Dog and the Bone

Once there was a dog who wandered the streets night and day in search of food. One day, he found a big juicy bone and he immediately grabbed it between his mouth and took it home. On his way home, he crossed a river and saw another dog who also had a bone in its mouth. He wanted that bone for himself too. But as he opened his mouth, the bone he was biting fell into the river and sank. That night, he went home hungry.

Moral of the story:

If we always envy what others have, we’ll end up losing what we already have, just like the greedy dog.

3. The Thirsty Crow

After flying a long distance, a thirsty crow was wandering the forest in search of water. Finally, he saw a pot half-filled with water. He tried to drink from it but his beak wasn’t long enough to reach the water inside. He then saw pebbles on the ground and one by one, he put them in the pot until the water rose to the brim. The crow then hastily drank from it and quenched his thirst.

Moral of the story:

If there’s a will, there’s a way. Every problem has a solution if we just look hard enough and don’t give up.

4. Lazy John

There was a boy named John who was so lazy, he couldn’t even bother to change his clothes. One day, he saw that the apple tree in their yard was full of fruits. He wanted to eat some apples but he was too lazy to climb the tree and take the fruits. So he lay down underneath the tree and waited for the fruits to fall off. John waited and waited until he was very hungry but the apples never fell.

Moral of the story:

Laziness can get you nowhere. If you want something, you need to work hard for it.

5. The Fox and The Grapes

Once there was a hungry fox who stumbled upon a vineyard. After seeing the round, juicy grapes hanging in a bunch, the fox drooled. But no matter how high he jumped, he couldn’t reach for it. So he told himself that it was probably sour and left. That night, he had to sleep on an empty stomach.

Moral of the Story:

Most of us have the tendency to act like the fox. When we want something but think it’s too hard to attain, we make up excuses. We tell ourselves that it’s probably not that great instead of working hard for it.

6. The Ant and The Grasshopper

The ant and the grasshopper were good friends. In the summer, the ant works hard to fill his storage with food. While the grasshopper was enjoying the fine weather and playing all day. When winter came, the ant was lying cozily in his home surrounded by the food he stored during the summer. While the grasshopper was in his home, hungry and freezing. He asked the ant for food and the ant gave him some. But it wasn’t enough to last the entire winter. When he tried to ask the ant again, the latter replied: “I’m sorry my friend but my food is just enough for my family to last until the end of winter. If I give you more, we too will starve. We had the entire summer to prepare for the winter but you chose to play instead.”

Moral of the story:

Winter, in this story, represents a time in our life where food and resources are scarce. While summer is that time where everything is abundant. So if you have a lot right now, save some of it for the winter.

7. The Boy Who Cried Wolf

There was once a shepherd boy who liked to play tricks. One day, while he was watching over the herd, the boy decided to play a trick and cried “wolf! wolf!”. The pe

wht is an author note
WHAT IS AN AUTHOR'S NOTE? An author’s note is an opportunity for you to speak directly to your readers about your work. It explains what you created and why you made it. It should also contain a reflection on what you have learned and how you have grown as a writer. The author's note is NOT something that should be written quickly; rather, it is an essential component of your project that should take a great amount of time and reflection. WHY IS AN AUTHOR'S NOTE IMPORTANT? Author's notes are very often a requirement of exhibition, professional representation, and promotion. It is also a great opportunity for you to address your audience directly. It helps to create a connection between your writing and the reader, which will make your work more memorable and more meaningful. Last but not least, an author's note is important for YOU, as the author. Writing official statements gives you another way to reflect on your work and the purpose for which you made it. It is a reminder of your values and the decisions you made throughout the creation process. HOW FORMAL SHOULD AN AUTHOR'S NOTE BE? Your author's note should NOT sound too rigid or too formal. It should be written in the first person point of view (i.e. using personal pronouns like “I” and “my”) and you should act like you are speaking directly to the audience (which you are!). That being said, however, you still want to make sure you are being professional (no slang). It should feel just familiar enough so that your readers feel some sort of connection to you and your work. guidelines You should include at least 4 sections in your author's note: 1st Section: Organizing Idea Explain your idea or topic and why & how you chose it Talk about your inspirations (Did you use any model texts? Were there specific people or ideas that inspired you?) What does your work mean to you? 2nd Section: Features of the Genre Name some features that you used in your project that are common to the genre you are writing in (e.g. literary devices, headings & subheadings, literary elements, etc.) How do these features add or contribute to your work? How does it make it better? Why are they important? 3rd Section: Revisions WHAT IS AN AUTHOR'S NOTE? An author’s note is an opportunity for you to speak directly to your readers about your work.
