Sufiä is a worker in a big garments factory. More than
five thousand workers work in that factory. One day, while she was busy in
work, a sound was heard, “Fire! Fire! Help! Help! As ill news runs apace, the
news spread very fast, among the workers. But no one noticed whether there was
actually any fire or not. Having just heard the news, without any confirmation,
all the workers of the factory became desperate to come outside.
But the factory had only one exit and the path which led
to this gate was very narrow. Even three men or women could not pass through
this path side by side at a time. So, when all the workers of the factory were
trying to come out along this narrow path, the path became congested with the
workers. Many workers fell down on the path because of the jostling in the
crowd and were trampled by other workers. Some of them received severe
injuries. In a word, a chaotic situation had been prevailing in the factory.
After observing the situation, the authority of the
factory took steps to pacify the workers. The authority, announced through loud
speaker that the news was a rumour and no fire had broken out. Actually, a pipe
containing colour had burst out in the dying section but it caused no
casualties. After hearing this announcement twice, the workers understood their
follies and went back to their work.
Or
Once there as a crocodile who had
four children. The crocodile wanted to teach her children. So, she went to fox
and asked him if could teach her children. The fox gladly received the offer. So,
the crocodile left her all children with the fox went back to the river. The
fox liked to eat crocodile’s kids very much. So, he ate one of them. After
a week the crocodile came to the fox to see her sweet children. The cunning fox
showed one kid twice making a total of four. And told the crocodile that they
were do meritorious. The crocodile became satisfied and went away. Then every
week the fox ate one of them and followed the same trick. After eating
the fourth child the fox left the place forever. After a week the crocodile
came again to see her sweet child but found nothing. She finally understood
everything and left the place with profound grief.
Or
Once a fox was roaming
in the dark. As ill luck would have it, he fell into a well. He tried his best
to come out but all to no use. So, he had to remain there till the next
morning. At about fore-noon the next day, a goat came that way. She peeped into
the well and saw the fox there. “What are you doing there, Mr Fox ?” asked the
goat. I came here to drink water. It is the best I have ever tasted. Come and
see for yourself,” replied the sly fox. Without thinking even a bit, the goat
jumped into the well. She quenched her thirst and looked for a way to get out.
The fox said, “I’ve an
idea. Stand on your hind legs. I’ll climb on your head and get out. Then I
shall help you out too.” The silly goat did so and the fox got out of the well.
While walking away, he
said, ” Had you been wise, you would never have got in without seeing how to get out.”
