148. The Boat Race #Inspirational Moral Stories
Once there was a wise and generous queen. Her chief advisor
had retired and she was searching for a suitable replacement. Two girls, Daisy
and Ellen, went to meet the Queen. They expressed their desire to become her
chief advisor. Daisy was brave and intelligent,. but Ellen was lazy and
foolish. But the Queen did not know this. So she said, "I will have a
contest to decide which one of you is worthy of the post." A boat race was
organised the next day. Daisy and Ellen got into their boats and set sail.
When they reached the middle of the river, they saw something moving under the
surface. "There's a monster!" cried Ellen and she rushed back to the
shore. But Daisy carried on. She fished out a ball and finished the race. The
Queen said, "I had the ball placed in the river to test your skills. Daisy
shall be my chief advisor."
Moral of the Story: The story teaches us that bravery and intelligence are
valuable qualities, and they are often more important than laziness and
foolishness. It encourages us to face challenges with courage and
determination.
